A woman Wrote This.

New York Evening World.
1t Is an accepted thing among women
that men dislike all shades of heliotrope
purple and mauve. The origin of this
belief is difficult to trace. The only APP
-sroach to a solution was from a woman
who had heard a man say that these
things were penitential tInts, and i'm

der p~ensiveness about mauve and hello
trope. hut purple, which should be re-
gal, has a distinctly commonplace tint.
A man is never expected to now when
a woman is well dressed except when
she wears. black or white. Men in their
hearts like cheerful colors; red, for ex-
ample, delights their eye. When the
fireman was asked what color he want

ANY color, SO it's red" He spoke

SieIy III NteAppcHCeu AFTER len 1eAES.
A faint suggestion of the story of Rip
Van Wrinkle attaches to that told of Jim
Hayes, a one-time resident of Il village
in western Maine, located near the
boundary line between that state and
New Hampshire.
While digging out his well enc morn.

The latter arriving upon the scene
after due deliberation and II discussion
of ways and means expressed theiI
unanimous opinion in the following un.
sentimental but practical syllogism:
That Jim was at once dead and bur.

That a dead man ought to be buried.
Conclusion-that the best thing to be
done was to do dothing-to~wit, leave
the well and Jim in such condition as
found.
The general consensus of opinion was
that the late Jim had been Il lazy, good
for nothing. shiftless dog, who had con.
ferred u greater benefit upon the village
by thus quietly dropping out of society
without putting his neighbors to the
trouble of burying him, than he had
ever done while living.
Remarks to this effect, and other.
even less complimentary, being borne
vaguely to the ears of the entombed
Jim, apprising hilS of the worth i'm.
puted to him by his fellow townsmen,
he then and there resolved to reform
aud mend his ways.
Realizing that a return to his old as.
sociate and associations would be a Sc.
rious bar to these good resolutions, the
now-reformed Jim set induStriously te

making his way straight upward he
pursued, for a rod or two, a latera
