An Eccentricity In Gloves.

An energetic young woman hustled into
dry goods store on Woodward avenue,
and, approaching the glove counter, held
ont her right hand, ON which "a black silk
glove was displayed.
What do You call that" she asked in
an aggressive tone.
The young salcswoman behind the coun-
ter fired up:
call it poor hand, she said in
Greek meet Greek tone.
so do l, yet you sold me those gloves"
Il dare say.
WELL | want you to replace them with
another pair. Look at their shape. They
make my hand appear dcformed. Who
ever heard of IA silk glove with seam run
ming down the front Fingers
Nobody"
But these have just such "a seam. -
Certainly, said the salcswoman, land
how on earth you ever got them ON | can't
imagine. If you will change your left
hand glove from your right hand and your
right hand glove from your left think
you will find them all right"
The sa,CsWuman turned YEARLY to a
new customer, and the aggressive young
woman went out, muttering in "a dazed
way:
Left hand glove on the right hand

HIS BEAUTIFUL THEORY.
He Was an Advocate OF Honesty, but He
Did Not Practice IL.

Did Not Practice 1t.
Honesty in politics." said the man
who was dining at the table next the win
dow. Huh, there isn't any such thing!
That's a fiction that was played out long,
long ago. Nowadays it is the man with
the biggest fortune who gets the offices /
tell you that this country has reached
deplorable state Of morals"
'How's that?' asked the man who sat
across from him.
Why, there is no honesty in business,
social or political life. The elections arc
crooked. The vilest sort of schemes are
resortcd to in order to get votes Men are
openly bribed Men who get into office
steal everything they can get their hands
ON. It's the same way in business too
You can never tell when to trust man.
People you have dealt with for years 10
not hesitate to do you up if they get
chance. They sell you poor goods at high
prices. They use all sorts of dishonest
means to get your trade, and when they
get it they at once proceed to get even by
cheating you. And in society-why, SO.
ciety is rotten to its core. Honesty is as
scarce as purity. There is nothing that is
too mean for these people who pretend to
be the leaders of the social sets. am tired

His friend picked up the check and pass
ed il over to him. As he did so he remark

NO, too little. -

JAPANESE WIVES.
They May Gently Rem onstrate, but
Must Never Scold Their Husbands,


Must Never Scold Their husbands,
From the Albany Argus.
The constant theme Of those foreigners
who have visited the empire of the
Mikado is the surprising charm of the
Japanese women. This is due chiefly to
the careful training of the women of the
better classes and 10 the peculiar social
conditions which obtain in Japan A
Japanese woman must be charming, ODE
dent and thoroughly delightful in order
to maintain her Eosition in the household
and her hold upon the affections and re-
gard of her husband.
The duties Of the married woman in
Japan are clearly marked out for her,
and she well understands that her only
chance of comfort and happiness is found
In her street observance of them. One of
the most trying of the wife's duties is the
constant submission ana service due from
her To the parents of her husband. The
tllial reverence and respect, always a
distinguishing feature of Oriental lie, is,
upon woman's marriage transferred
from her own parents TO those of her hus-
band in fact, wife is seldom allowed
to visit her own parents ter her mar
rlage. In Japan the mOther-in-law reigns
supreme.
contrary to the popular impression, di-
NOlNCo are VI frequent occurrences IN ia
pan, 1t being estimated that there is one
divorce TO every three marriages. These
divorces are usually obtained by the
husband, and often for what would seem
10 US trivial causes. The wife seldom
seeks dl orce, for the reason that in
case Of separation the children are al
ways given TO the husband. Under no
circumstances can they be claimed by
the wife. A Japanese wife NAV be al
n A1vr to
husband, should occasion require, but
may never SEQ d or speak harshIy to him.
ana must at all Zines have a bright smile
and respectful bow for him on his de-
parture from the house or return TO it.
She must anticipate his every wish and
have watchful eye on the servants of
the household in order that nothing may
be la king to make his home place of
comfort and 20 secure for him entire free
dom from worry and fret In view of all
this it is not surprising to learn that there
are few bachelors in Japan.
