Somebody has said that "there is
great deal OF human nature in man."
We have already conceded the fact that
there is a great deal OF human nature in
a woman, and if we were really urged
little we might be persuaded to ac-
knowledge that men and women are
very much alike after all. a bright
woman has collected and complied the
following remarks and comments on the
way they both act, or should act. while
dining. either at d dinner party or at
public table:
1t is not considered good form any
more to ignore entirely other guests
near where YOU may be seated at din
'ner. This oolIterates certain amount
OF stiffness and certainly shows more
confidence in your hostess, who Is sup
posed to bring together at dinner table
only those whom it is pleasure to
know.
Women are certainly very helpful to
one another. Perhaps they are not SO
magnanimouS as men, but they take
more time to help each other and are
far more thoughtful in little things.
Men are fifty times more curious than
women, and when they once begin to
gossip go at it with a vengeance.
They are very jealous in their nat
ureS, but, OF course, they will never be
lieve all the faults attributed to them,
and it is very unwiSe to crltlclSe them.
They have several better traits than
women. One is that although they may
argue and be most obstinate with one
another, when their Often-heated dis
cuSSiOuS are oyer they seem to forget
all about them and are as friendly as
ever.
Now woman feels injured, and sell
dom has the same feeling toward an
other women who has found fault with
her and taken her to task. She may al,
mire her, but she cannot love her, and
sometimes is found criticislng her 10
common friend.
Speaking of men. there were some
hints given at restaurant one evening
lately that may be of aid to some wives.
Four men were seated at a small
table. near the one where husband and
wife were placed, and this is what the
woman heard.
That no man should wear more than
one gold stud. To make any show OF
leWelry is considered Inbred.
That no man of taste wears scarf
The Ascot tie is two years old and
that is out OF date.SO consequently there
is no occasion for pin.
1t sp0ils good necktie too, if one look
at the practical side.
That a man should never allow his
handkerchief to be seen, no matter how
fine it may be; it should not be peeping
out of his coat pocket, but kept out OF
sight entirely.
That men with long neckS ought not
to wear turn over collar.
The woman who CLEANED the above re-
marks said that the men were at the
table an hour, and talked entirely on
the subject of dress, but of course she
did moi hear distinctly all that was said.
She made up her mind, however, that
men were not above talking over the
fashions, although they seem to think
they belong 10 woman's kingdom.
She noticed, too, that these men were
very critical of what each wore.
One said, Jack, that is very poor
taste. Nobody with any kind of taste
wears a scarf pin," and various hits like
this that were accepted and evidently
overlooked by the delinquent and other
members OF the group.
Now, it would be much harder for one
woman to forgive another, who should
speak in the same rather sneerng tone
before others, Of like failing.
A woman talks her best when she is
with another woman who is thoroughly
congenial, and when both have high
ideas and aspirations.
"Ahr' said a woman yesterday to g
friend: 'How is it you are always ST
happy? Do things never go wrong with
yOu?'
"Yes, indeed" laughingly replied The
one addressed, Il really believe wha
keeps me up is that l never give up NY
ideals. | cherish them even when they
seem to fail, and l will not let them e

scales, too, and although l detest theil
