\ clever woman the other day was at
a luncheon. one of those where questions
are asked. and the first one was. What
two women. in the history OF the world,
have had the greatest influence upon its
people?' Every name was mentioned
from Marie Stuart down 10 Queen Vic
T-1foT ha tx
Catherine of Russia The best answer. 1t
vas conceded, came from woman who
thinks more than she talks. She said
Eve and the Virgin Mary" This was
greeted with applause. and it was conceded
that she had won the prize.
This bit of gossip was told. When the
Second Mrs. Tanqueray" was being
plaved at San Francisco a bright club
man said that it ought to have an addi-
tional title Some one asked him what II
was, and he answered, THE Second Mrs.
Tanqueray; or. Life in San Francisco"
Then they asked. What constitutes a
gentlewoman?" one woman said. Being

she is speaking. Who has plenty of small

would like to know. but l neve expect
TO find out. This is my first query.
Why do women prefer to write the nasty
novels they do now. instead of honoring
themselves by putting Their names to
those that would teach all women to be
! better and nobler?
Why do men insist upon their wives
dressing and behaving as quietly as pos

voice to their admiration of some loudly
dressed loudly hammered creature who
is a disgrace to her sex?
Why do women teach their daughters
to be vlrtuous and only find it necessary
| to teach their sons to be honest?
Why do the men who are passionate
lovers usually become such tiresome hus-
bands?
Why do women worry wrinkles on their
faces over petty troubles and bear great
| ones magnificently?
Why do men forget that courtesy be-
comes a husband as well as it does a
| lover?
Why do women think that it doesn
make any. difference whether they exert
themselveA to entertain their husbands
Why are reformers almost invariably
| ugly to look upon?
Why are postage stamps so lacking in
glue?
Why are bank notes so dtsgracefully
dirty?
Why are kilograms invariably written
without any regard to the sense of the
