Wotrlap's World

How little the very best man in the
world understands a womans nature. 1t
IS. perhaps. as well that he never is able
10 solve the enigma. for with that knowl-
edge would come the certainty Of his
power that would perhaps make life q
wee bit more unpleasant than it already
is for the woman to whom he has the
right to dictate. says woman in the
Philadelphia Press.
Kindness will rule the most superbly ar
rogant feminine nature, but dictation only
makes her stubborn. Again what could
never be accomplished by demand would
be willingly granted owing TO the fragrant
pleading Of a little bunch of blossoms
laid in her lap. or through the agency of
tender hand laid on an aching brow CT
a gentle word spoken in response to some
quick outburst of temper.
Women. despite their boasted indepen-
dence. are after all very fragile plants.
A,harsh word brings tears to the eyes of
the woman whom the world regards as
above such evidence of feeling. Criticism
from the man she loves is far more gall
ing to the gifted authoress then all the
concentrated venom of public arraignment.
The whole world may tell the leader of
fashion that she looks. charming, yet she
feels unhappy, Notwithstanding. if her
husband says: My dear, that hat is not
as becoming as some others you wear. -
And when it comes to the matter of slav-
ing for these precious mortals the haugh-
test woman would go on her hands and
he showed her the most trining consid-
Grafton.
Perhaps some one will say that this
writing is an incentive to hypocrisy on
the part of the men, that they ought to
assume a tenderness and consideration,
whether they felt it or not, knowing that
their reward would be the greater for
their assembling. Inreply to that we say,
'let them Ensemble then" 1t is better
for them to assume virtue than not to
have 1t at all. Women do not ask for so
much that the task need be regarded as
an appalling one. A few kind words a
little praise and a man may be as stingy
as a miser and they will forget all about
the lack of money and extol only his
BoOuNeSS. but II ne not only StlntS them
in money but in gentleness as well they
will little by little grow rebellious. and
there is not one right-mnded person in
the world who could blame them for being
so.
Even when a man means to convey a
genuine compliment, says Clara Belle in
the Cincinnati Enquirer he is apt to go
astray unless he has had experience This
is shown by the case of a wise college pro-
lessor who was invited to dine with a
Former college chum, whose wife was
somewhat new to housekeeping and con-
sequently nervous. The dinner had pro-
crossed beautifully as far as the salad, for
which the little bride had ventured to
make the sauce. 1t was a sauce an ad-
mirer of hers had once taught her to make,
and the admirer had been Frenchman,
in whose family had once been employed a
famous chef, so the sauce was good one.
The professor began his salad, and then he
stopped and rolled up his eyes. The wife
was scared to death. Had she made a mis-
take-was it wrongi
Professor, she quaVered, "do-do Won
like your saucer"
The man of wisdom seemed to be speech
less for moment, and when at last he
found his tongue he said in an awestruck
voice; Like it? Madame permit me to
say to you that with such a sauce"-he
paused at loss for words, and then went
on-"with such sauce a man might eat
his father!
