From the LOndt
coral strand, so you can hardly blame
them for what they are. Whenever she
gets chance she refers to them IN her
prayers as awful examples, and makes
donkey OF herself in every possible way.
Blessed be St. Paul for advising the
women to keep quiet in the churches! I!
And blessed be st. Paul the second time
for that other good talking 10 that he gave
US, and which, boiled down, meant, take
care of your own husbands and babies and
there will be no heathen for any one to
trouble about.
WHERE HAPPINESS MAY BE FOUND.
Somebody wondered the other day who
was the happiest woman. 1t was con-
cluded that the happiest woman was not
a great beauty, because a great beauty can
never be perfectly happy, since she lives
in,fear OF losing her good looks. She must
not be disagreeable looking, but she must
have that wonderful charm of manner
which makes both men and women like
her. Would you trust a woman who said
she didn't care for mems society?
Even if she has the figure of a Roman
goddess and a voice of a calliope, she
yearns, if she is a real woman, to be con-
sidered the incest in all the world by some
body. And if she is worth penny, she
prefers that somebody to be n man. Gen
eraliZing, it may be said that there is some
thing wrong with the woman who don't
like men. She is abnormal. And pretty
certain to come to a wrong end. Even
beating will not take from right-minded
woman her inboIn liking for men in gen
eral and man in special There has never
been one of these women who cared only
Tor the society of women who wasn't fret
full, t1resome and unhealthy in mind and
body. Women should like women, of
course, but they should like men better.
1t is bad form to be slangy, bat really and
truly only slang will express it, and the
proper sort of woman likes man because
she is "built that way"
FINDING ENTERTAINMENT FOR MAN.
Some one said that the secret of popu-
larity among men was to make them have
good time without letting them be con-
sclous of any effort on your part TO do it.
/ beg leave to differ with this wise person
in one respect. Give a man a good time.
but inform him fully as to the way it is
done. 1t makes him grateful. Some
women behave as if men enjoyed being
pranced about and held on to-as if thew
were portable property, like spoons or but
ton-hooks. Now, that is all wrong If
you want to make man have good time
introduce him to the prettiest and the
brightest women. See that he is well fed
and don't try to attach yourself to him,

act of yours that he will 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 yourself because you are not afraid
to let go of him for little while.
That is where young women make
great mistake. Very few of them are will
ing to be secondary, which social success
absolutely demands. And then, too, they
are inclined to ask man too many aues-
tons, which is something man particu-
larly dislikes.
There is type which is very common,
and which would delight that Italian doc
tor who is gauging women's 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, whiteness or their
likeness to a VOLTS. She is usually at
tractive 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 a devilfish, gradually freez-
ing out of him all the warmth of his
nature. Unconsciously,
he MAY STRUGGLE AND sQUIRM,
But the entire lack of heart in her results
in there being no quarter given to him, and
ali that he can do is to submit to his fate
and ask for the prayers of the congrega-
ton. 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 lien of
affection he is expected to accept intellect
jealous pride of possession which she
calls love. and continued impressing upon
the unfortunate man of her general perfec-
tion and many virtues, the last valueless
because they have never been attacked,
These women occasionally make respecta-
bic wives and mothers, but they never
have any sense so far as man is concerned,
unless, indeed, one of them marries a
sturdy creature capable of giving her
weekly thrashing, which may humaniZe
her. But there are enough of nice women
in the world to talk about without 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 it after me, which honor /
declined. But did stand godmother for
colored baby, who rejoices in the name
of Lillian Blanche" The name and the
infants complexion seem rather at odds.
but if Lillian Blanche launders as well as
her mother, the linen of the next genera
ton will smell as sweet as only plenty of
soap, hard rubbing and sunshine can make
them.
NAMING THE BABY.
There is fad for giving girls family
names instead of Christian names lust
now, and when You get letter signed
"Montmorency Sniffkins," the 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 good
nessl sensible women have stopped the
nickname business, and Elizabeth" is
Elizabeth" and not Bessie or 'sIilIie. y
and Mary is given her beautiful name in
