or one who has some disfguring feature,
like protruding teeth, an ugly laugh, and
the like, is not the proper picture 70 be
constantly before the impressionable
child vision.
All of which points to the obvious high
value of training schools, and may they
multiply on the face of the earth.
There are all manners of reasons, says
the Washington Post, why the human
animal is moved to tears, and IL has been
demonstrated too many times when
pretty woman weeps upon the departure
of an erstwhile admirer that her grief is
either deep or incopsolable. In fact, there
are ms tances too numerous to record
where tears on the woman's part at the
sundering OF such relations have had
meaning vastly different from those sur
missed by the departing swain. A notable
instance in this respect IS that of Wash
ington, who, though married and the
mother of several children, seems to find
existence a bowling wilderness unless
looming up on the horizon is some man to
dance attendance upon her moods and
lenses. 1t was not so long ago she was
living in California and deriving the
greatest apparent enjoyment from the
deyotions of a certain good-looking lieu
tenant.
One of his superior officers, who, seeing
the trend of affairs, it is shrewdly sus
pected had his detail changed. Wash
ington society is indebted for the story of
the little afiair. The afternoon that the
young fellow made his adieus and sailed
away from the Pacific coast there was
reception on one OF the vessels stationed
at that place. Late in the evening, when
the guests had about departed from the
vessel, the Washington matron attached
herself to the oncer mentioned and, after
certain characteristic little overtures on
her part, seated herself beside him upon
the now pretty well deserted deck. The
well seasoned old officer made some casual
mention OF the departure of the suscepti-
bic young lieutenant. rhereupou the
matron, throwing over her face black
lace scarf which she had been wearing
Spanish fashion on her head during the
reception, became apparently convulsed
with grief. The olhcer allowed her TO
weep on for some little time, think
ing, doubtless, that while her sur
charged feelings were finding re-
lief in this aqueous manner, he
was safe from further firtatious demon
stration on her part for that evening at
least. Finally, however, it occurred to
him that he would cut a decidedly ridicu-
lous figure if caught by any of his com
rades sitting in such near neigh borhood
of the weeping Niobe. Thereupon he felt
called upon TO stem the torrent of her
ears, and manlike made some consolatory
remarks to the effect that there were as
good fish in the sea as had ever been
landed. Whatever the uninitiated might
have thought of the wisdom or practical
blllty of the remarks, they were of just
the consolatory character intended, for
scarcely had he ceased utterance before
the lace scarf was thrown back and the
fair one, her face convulsed with fearful
emotions, considerably electrified him
with the response, II am not weeping for
Lieut.. -; he has gone, and that is an
end of it. But where, oh, where, am l to
get another to take his place."
Women often are puzzled. says the
Philadelphia Record. about the groves of
pennies that find such comfortable lodg-
lngs in their purses.
No matter how thoroughly pocket
hood is cleaned of its coppers, the next
time it is opened there they are, snugly
slowed away in every compartment like
so many peas in so many pods, pennies in
pairs, trios and groups of skies and sew
ems. There is simply no getting rid of
them, and if you do happen to dwindle
the number down to ten or twelve some
tiendlshly-minded unkind-hearted cable
conductor will dole you out whole hand
full, which Immediately goes 10 join the
home crowd that you so considerably
kept instead of palming off on the poor
man.
BY the way, if there is ever time
when a woman's temper experiences d
good, hard, nerve-severing test, it is when
she is on a street car and the woman
sitting next to her gives the conductor
i've pennies, which the conductor, with
willing hama and unselHsh heart, at once
passes over to her That's the time when
teeth grind and eyes snap and toes curl
up from plain, unvarnished anger. And
It's good thing that the little wOmau's
Eest young man isn't near. One glimpse
of the stern lines around her mouth would
probably make him suddenly decide to
join north pole exploring expedition or
take fancy to turning missionary so that
he'd be sent off to Patagonia or Zululand,
or, in fact, anywhere, so that he wouldn't
see his beloved girl with her temper all
mussed up.
1t was at the Louisville and Nashville
depot one hot evening last week, SAYS the
New Orleans lPicayune, and the good
bys" were being said, as the shrill whis-
tie of the engine sounded and the coast
train prepared to back out of the depot.
Ali was hustle and confusion, when sud
denly the attention of the excursionists
was drawn TO a little old man and wo-
man, so old, indeed, and dried-up looking
