| Would you trust woman who said she
didn't care for mems society? Even II
/ she has tho figure Of Roman goddess
and q voice OF calliope, she yearns, il
sho is real woman, to be considered
| the incest in all the world by some-
body. And If she is worth a penny,
she prefers that somebody to be a man.
Generalizing, 1t may be said that there
is something wrong with the woman
who don't like men. She is abnormal.
And pretty certain to come to wrong
end. Even beating will not take form
q right-mipded woman her Unborn
liking for men in general and man in
| special. There has never been one OF
these women who cared only for the
society Of women who wasn't fretful.
| tiresome and unhealthy in mind and
body. Women should like women, OF
course, but they should like men bet
ter. 1t is bad form to be slangy, but
really and truly only slang will express
| 1T, and the proper sort of woman likes
man because she is "built that way. ~
FINDING ENrERTAINMENT FOR MAN.
Some one said that the secret Of
| popularity among men was to make
them have good time, without letting
part to do it I beg leave to differ
with this wise person in one respect.
Give man a good time, but inform
him fully as to the way ii is done. 1t
makes him grateful. Some women be-
have as Il men enjoyed being pranced
| about and held on to, as il they were
portable property, like spoons or button
! hooke. Now, that is all wrong. If
| you want to make a man have a good
time introduce him to the prettiest
and brightest women. See that he is
well fed, and don't try to attach your
self to him, and later on there will not
be a courteous act of yours that he
| Ill not remember, and among all the
women to whom you have presented
/ him, there will not be one whom he
will count as more agreeable than your
self, because you are not afraid to let
go OF him for little while. That is
where young women make great mis-
take. Very few Of them are willing to
be secondary, which social success alb
solutely demands. And then, too, they
are inclined to ask man too many
questions, which is something man
particularly dislikes
There is type which is very COM
mon, and which would delight that
Italian doctor who is guaging womans'
morality by their moles and their teeth.
This girl is usually almost colorless,
and she impresses you at once, with
something about her teeth. You don't
quite know what it is, whether it is
their size, Wilderness, or their likeness
to VOLTS. She is usually attractive
to men, and nine times out of ten is
| either engaged or married. And then
she holds on to the unfortunate man
with the tenacity of devifish, gradu-
ally freezing out Of him all the warmth
OF his nature. Unconsciously,
HE MAY STRUGGLE AND souIRM,
but the entire lack of heart in her
results in there being no quarter given
to him, and all that he can do is TO sub
NIT to his fate and ask for the prayers
of the congregation. 1t is always
warm hearted, warm-souled fellow that
this sort of girl gets hold of, and she
catches him while he is under 30, for
she knows that when he is older than
that he will have recognized her kind
and beware of her. In lieu of affection
no is expected to accept intellect, a
jealous pride of possession which she
calls love, and continued impressing
upon the unfortunate man of her
general perfection aud many virtues,
the last valueless because they have
never been attacked. These women
occasionally make respectable wives
and mothers, but they never have any
sense so far as man is concerned, un-
less. indeed, one of them marries
sturdy creature capable of giving her a
weekly thrashing, which may humanize
her. But there are enough of nice
n in tho txynrl1 fs, fnllr oh
out dilating on these creatures
There are a great many new babies
in town, and the mother Of one was
kind enough to write to me and say
she would like to name ii after me,
which honor | declined. But | did
stand godmother for a colored baby,
who reioices in the name of LILLIAN
Blanche. The name and the infants
complexion seem rather at odds, but if
Lillian Blanche launders as we'll as her
mother, the linen of the next genera
tion will smell as sweet as only plenty
OF soap, hard rubbing and sunshine
can make them.
NAMING THE BABY.
There is a fad fer giving girls family
names instead OF Christian names Just
now, and when you get letter signed
JIliAhluEg lut CHANCES
are ten to one that Montmorency is a
woman. There are enough good honest
names for women without calling them
by such ridiculous titles, but, thank
goodness! sensible women have stopped
the nickname business, and ELIZA
both,'' is Elizabeth and not
"Bessie" or "Lillie," and Mary is
given her beautiful name in its com
pleteness, and not called May or
"Mazie," while Charlotte suggests
the dignified lady whom the German
poet loved, and doesn't degenerate into
"Lottie. " Floral names are generally
such misfits. There is Rose who is
the color of a lemon. A Lille who
only suggests from the spots on her
face the Japanese variety, while
"Pansy" is consummate donkey, and
never had thought in her life. Nine
times out of ten Blanche is a brunette,
while once met IA girl named Bonnie
who was as tiresome and STUPID as a
girl could be, and never came near
being bonny either in appearance or
manner. Give your girls, and your
boys, too, name that is short and
dignified, and which will fit as well
