of women, II you ever find one, for they
are few and far between now, and you
will know what the "caste Of We're de
We're" means. The We're de We're woman
never Tolls about in her chair, and neither
Mr.. nor Mrs. Defsapte would be welcome
guest in her house, for she does not like
heresies of that Find. Her little home
having been trained to grow prim and
straight like lily stalk, grace comes
was made to sit ILL., and the floor to put
of paralyzing the nerves of her knees cross
ing her legs, because she does not imagine
for moment that a lady can do such
thing.
She does not tumble abstractedly with
her fan, adjust her bracelets, or remodel
her headdress. She was careful to arrange
every portion OF her toilet before she left
the privacy of her chamber, and she knows
that she Is in perfect trim; hence dismisses
herself from her own mind, leaving it free
to think Of agreeable things to say to
others. Her voice is like low music. and
her laugh like the ripple of water. Her
ideas will be little Anticipated. and she
will know neither Trilby nor Dodo, but
she can tell you the story of Mary and
Martha In way that will make you feel
as though 1t was yesterday that they
lived, and she knows more of natural sci
eEce practical economics and the true
ethics Of living than you with your nerv-
GUS organization would learn at your clubs
and symposiums If you lived to be as old
as Methuselah
You will think the We're de We're woman
is cold; but she has just as much blood in
ner heart as you have, only it is under bet
ter control. She refuses to set it rushing
through her veins by mad endeavor to
keep up with lot of unnecessary, self
imposed duties. exhausting her vital forces
and fmpairing her health. but chooses,
rather, to reserve her strength for the

forts. Unrest and the We're de We're woman
have not even a speaking acquaintance.
They never can have, for one must in the
nature of things kill the other.
Does 1t Pay:
I think If women only understood what
foe to good looks. perfect health and con-
tentment they harbor when they entertain
the demon of unrest they would have a
care how they invite so unwelcome a guest
20 visit them. I say Invite" because l
know that women cultivate the intense
manner that brings in it's train such a
string of Ills. They seem to think that to
be intense Is to be impressive, hence more
attractive In reality 1t renders them shall
low and insincere They thirst for distinc-
ton, reputation for philanthropy, fame as
racontours and entertainers. celebrity as
social lights and imagine that intensity
breeds interest and interest Importance
Like poor, silly moths that SINCE their
wings in the candle, they do not learn how
futile their ambitions are till broken in
mind and body they lie at the mercy Of
Tiberius. the hole they left in the world fill

In the season of rest that is approaching
you will have time to reflect on the mad
round you have travelled daily during the
past season: Has it been worth the energy
expended? Have you profited by the outlay
of strength and life forces in insignificant
pursuits? SONORA SARA.
