There are times when it seems in
possible for a woman to string two
ideas together on any serious subject.
Her mind is so scattered about because
she is trying to do two or three women'S
work, and very different women, too,
that she cannot collect it, or it is worn
thread bare by the constant efforts to
be in dozen places at once. Such a
day is this so this leader will be some
what jerly:
Sometimes | think that women are
foolish to economic as they do in small
things.
If the man would do the same there
would be satisfaction in 1t, but he
doesn't, and he knows he doesn't.
The wife may deny herself, and plan
closely and. almost meanly at times,
until she has saved in a month quite
neat little sum to place aside in the gen.
eral fund, but on some merry evening
the husband will go out with few con
genial friends, perhaps, and squander
in few hours more than she has saved
in weeks.
This is no bit of fiction.
1t is done very often, indeed, and I
don't wonder that the wife grows dis
Outraged and feels like "giving up.'
It's no use, girls. You may pile upon
your heads and bodies all the latest
styles Of bOnnets, waists, skirts, sleeves,
and capes, but if you don't know how
to wear them properly you are simply
squandering time and money to no pur-
pose.
Don't SLOUGH, don't lean over, don't
walk pigeon-toed, or as if your feet
were tlatirons! Don't get biz hat for
q thin face, and don't take long steps if
you are little ST little steps if you are
long.
Bodily infirmities. perhaps. cannot be
remedled, but all the Things that | have
mentioned can be and ought to be by
eight out of every twelve women whom
we meet.
Well, Chicago will take the place of
bosky delIS and woodland wales and
mountain passes and brine-kssed
beaches, with hundreds of thousands of
people this year. Very few can afford
to do both, even if rates were normal,
but with the certainty of increased
prices at The exposition the country
outing must be done away with by the
majority of folks.
wonder If there is ever moment in
mans life when he isn't ready to tiirt?
Perhaps when he's on the galIoWs Or in
the electric chair his mind may run on
other things, bur those are about the
only times! | am moved to say all this

WHAT can such looking creature

What difference there is in doctors

OF course, they vary in this also-but in
manner. There Is the hard. brief, prac-
teal party who seems all business and
really does you good, l think, by show
ing that he KNOWS all about your case
and dOeSn' t think much of it, but pro-
poses to cure you instanter. And then
we have the soft, inSinuating style of
man who delights to treat you as if you
were spoiled child something in this
way:
Now, my dear madam, my dear
madam, just take things easily. Don't
worry, don't fret, don't scold; eat your
meals slowly; lie off and give your di-
geStlon chance. You think too much
your brain is too active for your body.
90 slow, My dear madam, go slow!'
The matter of this advice is good, no
doubt, but the manner is SO much after
the style of addressing a child who
could be we'll if it would that it causes
he to become like raging lion.
On the whole, think like my woman

me best. And after all, why shouldn't
she?
She is of my own sex, and has expert

ways.
