IF man is a selfish animal he has his
uses. He shows women by his own illus
trious Example how to take care OF her
health and her looks. * man and a Wom-
an of the same temperament, strength
and health, of the same age living the
same life, would in a few months show
some new women who deride poor man
that he is useful in showing us how to
live, and is superior to women IN at ieaSt
one thing-the preservation OIL ms nSailh,
consequently his spirits and his gooo
looks.

4 woman when she is angry .pouts,
closes her lips very tight, crimples up
her forehead into wrinkles and subsidies.
A man when he gets angry or is annoy
ed by a careless trcuser ~creaser or a
persistent creditor sWears. He lets off the
superfucus steam that is heating his
blood and making apoplexy a dangerous
possibility by giving vent to his anger
over, till the next outburst. Not SO with
woman. She broods in anger and in sor-
row and In secret. She gets a sharp
note in her voice and amazing words In
her vocabulary If she scolds, and she
gets little oldish lines around her mouth
when she keeps her anger and sorroNv
and mind. And thus she loses some
beauty.
x man does not wear corsets. though
in this woman does as well not to emu

dress-makers. But he has his financial
difficulties; he has business cares. n
he usually has love affairs to harass
his dreams by night and enliven his walk

When he Is. bothered he sits down and
smokes, drinks a big drink, and prob

she usually succeeds.
When he is in debt he. has interesting
experiences with creditors, which are af-

When the woman is in debt she weeps,
self Of everything and grows old. When
she is in love she keeps it to herself
and grows melancholy or bitter-one is
swear, drink, smoke, takegtbings with a
debonnair smile and a gay heart, and
so she grows old-does the average wom-
