A Bad Habit,

Self-laudation is not pleasant nor commendable habit, but it is habit to which women are greatly addicted Al every woman's convention there is one theme of which they never tire-wom. an; her intelligence, her patience. her goodness, and so on without end. If is true the women have many good ouali- ties, but why go abroad trumpeting them forever. in season and out? If is neither sensible nor modest. What would we think of men who never tired of telling of their own virtues, and of running the other half of the race down-their mothers, wives and sis. ters? Instead of posing as saints and martyrs, if women would own up that they have faults, and that they are re- sponsible for many existing evils, then there would be some hope of new era -an era of equality.-Helen H. Pres ton, in Womankind.
