When Men Are Little Too Forward

Did he? Well, don't be so indignant
about it. A man, as rule, is not
aware that he is presuming, he thinks
he is merely taking advantage of an
opportunity given him, and, remem.
Der, how angry girls are when man

purposely giving men opportunities to
be impairment or disrespectful, but If
he is that, it is more probable that he
thought you gave such an opportunity
than that he did it with reckless disre-
gard of your disapproval. When man

feels as bad about it as you, if he real.

dcrs what you are making such a fuss
about That's the truth of the matter,
and now about the opportunities girls
give.
The only wonder is that men behave
as well as they do. Girls seem to de-
pend entirely upon mems good taste
and self control and very little upon
their own behavior to insure them re.
spectful treatment. That's more truth
of the matter. If young woman
crosses her feet and tucks one prettily
shod toe high in the round of the chair
front of her, she must be clever
enough to do it with faultless air OF

1t is the same way when girls are
alone, travelling, perhaps, or through
their own carelessness or bravado DE-
without escort in public place. They
imagine that men must known by in

be if the girls are really behaving very

ROYAL GIFTS.
Sold by Recipients without Deiicacy Of
Restraint.


Restraint.
1t must be rather distressing TO roy
atty to see the small vslue set upon tho
gifts which 1t is in the habit of distri'
buting among its friends and follcwera
These gifts are constantly being con.
verified into cash in most public and
open manner without the slightest
delicacy or restraint
Thus, at great public auction held
at London, there was valuable gold
mounted and jewe1ed cane, which be-
longed to the late Maharajah Dhuleep
Singh, and had beer presented to him
by the prince OF Wales as a token OF
friendship and regard. T.
1t was but the other day that num-
Der of very charming etchiugs made
Sy the queen and the late prince con-
sort forty-fve years ago were put up
at auction at Dublin. They had been
presented by her majesty and her bus
band to one of her former ladies In
waiting, ON whose death they had been
offered for sale by the heirs,
The shop windows of one Of tho
great pawnbrokers at Berlin were
| filled some months ago with an entire
collection of valuable watches, snuff
boxes adorned with gems, articles of
jewelry, etc, all presented by various
sovereigns and royal personages, to the
late Count Visone, minister of the
household to the king of Italy, and
pledged without being redeemed by his
scapegrace son, who, until the other
day, was secretary of the Italian en-
bassy at Berlin. /,
Thus it happens that one finds pins,
rings, snuff boxes and even autograph
portraits in the possession of people
for whom they were certainly never
intended, and who make improper use
of them for the purpose of obtaining
social prestige.
Perhaps the grossest case of all,
however, was that of Baron Won RADIO.
WITT, now German ambassador at
Madrid, who, on the conclusion of his
mission at Constantinople, where he
had represented Germany diplomatic-
ally for a number Of years and enjoyed
the particular favor of the sultan, who
was never tired of loading him with
valuable gifts, deliberately put up at
public auction in Constantinople itself,
under the very eyes of the sultan, all
the presents which he had received
from his Ottoman majesty. Chicago

I,rooding.

Brooding over trials and difficulties
and disappointment is one of the most
prominent and sure characteristics of
fretfulness. The mind seems to fasten
itself on life's troubles. 1t thinks OF
little else from morning till night, and
then in the night time sleep departs,
and the time that should be spent in
sleep is spent in fret and worry until
il testers and becomes moe and more
absorbing. So much SO that the mind
becomes wholly occupied with the
thought Of trouble. In many cases
this state of things continues till its
victim finds home in the insane asy-
lum.-Detroit Free Press
