more than one cat would ask another
cat to help her catch mouse.
Why does Il woman wish to own 8
mans heart? TO lead him by the nose
of course. All married men wear rings
in their noses; you may not see them,
but they are there. The first present
Il woman gives her husband is Il nose
ring.
| Women are singular IN many respects
When Il woman has obtained possess
ION Of a man S heart she does not care
to reside there. Having once found
the way she goes there only when she
wishes the man to give her something,
for instance new bonnet, or to take
her somewhere, say, to the opera.
Woman having once ascertained the
way to mans heart keeps the matter
aprofounc secret. 1t is not the slis ht-
est use to ask her how she first cot
there, for she will not tell you. 1t is
not true that Il woman cannot keep a
secret. She can keep secret far bet
ter than man if it is her own. 1t is
other peoples secrets that she tells.
Another popular fallacy is that woman
acts from impulse. She has reason
for everything she does; usually two of
them, one to give, and one to keep.
Should you ask woman how she OBJ
tanned possession of a mans heart she
will say that the man gave her his
heart. She will say this with sweet
smile, but she pref, rs to say it when no
other woman is in hearing.
Women are keen observers. Did you
| ever note how one woman watches an
other when she thinks the other woman
is heartburn ting: 1t is amusing, l as
sure You. This watching is done for
two reasons-first, to acquire skill IN
the art by studying the other woman's
tactics; second, to block the game, if
possible.
1t is interesting to no e the first
woman's views on the heart question.
Ewes character has always been to
me facinatihg study, and l do not
think her abilities have ever been pro-
perly appreciated. 70 understand, we
must study her conduct and environ
ment especiallyat the time of the dread
ful apple episode.
With all Difference to the clergy, and
scorning to cast any discredit on the
Book Of Genesis, l must declare that |
do not think that fearful incident has
ever been rightly understood. Eve was
Il remarkable woman, and the knowl-
edge she displayed of Adams character
is truly astonishing when all the Cir
cumstauces are considered.
Let me state right here. before 1 am
misunderstood, that | am not one Of
those persons who deem woman's brain
inferior to that of man. Far from it.
Woman has long been reproached with
jumping at conclusions This is il
great error. Woman never jumps at
conclusion. On the contrary, she
slips up slyly on one side ard selzes the
conclusion by the ear, before stupid
man has decided which way to ap-
proach it. But let us 60 back to
Eve.
Ewes insight into Adams peculiari-
ties was surprisingly accurate. 1t
should remembered that Eve had not
enjoyed such opportunities as are af-
forded by the present day. Poor EYES
advantages were sadly limited She had
not grown up with Adam from child
hooi. She had not gone to school with
HIM, and snapped chewing gum, nor
aided him in pelting the teachers head
with paper wads; nor had she and
Adam ever played at Goats, peas, beans,
barley grow, for there were no others
to sing and go round. Eve had never
been to Il boarding. school, and Adam
had never been college boy, therefore
she had never carried on a correspond
euce with him through crack in the
wall. AS she had never attended board
lng-scho)l she was never graduated,
and so deprived of the privilege of hay
ing good and pious preacher give her
Il diploma and preach her sermon a
bout 'Woman's Sphere" Alas, poor
Eve. She never had a mamma to give
her debut par y, and see that all the
nice young men were mated, especially
those who had money. Sh, never en-
!oyed the inefiable bliss of wearing "a
tailormade gown. Not being in soci-
ely she could not attend balls, operas,
etc. Alas. it almost makes me shed
tears to think how the poor girls edu-
crtion was neglected. The fact that
she became Adams intellectual equal,
in spite of such glaring disadvantages,
proves that Eve was the brilliant wo-
man of her time.
Wh'n Eve was girl long engage
ments We're not the style. Eve was
engaged only twenty-four hours yet in
that brief space she saw Il great deal
of Adam.
Adam and Eve, like many other
people, never had any troubles worth
mentioning till they were married,
then came the lrea lfnl nnnla .,HAir
