millions of their own and who wed mil
lions; then she elects to wear frock
as near like that of Miss Bullion as she
can; so, instead of putting her money
in a neat little walking suit that will
be Of use to her afterwards, she buys a
cheap, cotton back satin, lines it with
canton flannel, gets gorgeous tiara oil
orange blossoms, a superb veil, white
kid gloves, white silk stockings and
white satin slippers, and the conse-
quence is, in months time Miss Shah
by Genteel has nothing to wear. She
is not invited to houses where white
satin is the rule, and in time she real
ICES exactly how foolish she has been,
while she has the doubtful pleasure OF
wearing her old frocks and weeping
over her folly. OF course, a wedding
frock can always be cut to advantage
to make baby's cloak, but-well, some
people are sentimental.
HEALTH AS A VULGAR BLESSING.
During the days of good Queen Anne
it was the thing for lady never to be
quite well. Although the ladies of
those days drank and eat until they hid
their fiery cheeks, not to mention noses,
under powder and rouge galore, still
health was counted vulgar blessing,
and those Of the court never confessed
to possessing it. l only wonder one
thing, and that is, how did the men be-
have in those days, or have they chang
ed, or were they particularly angelic
during the reign Of good Queen Anne?
l think they must have been, or else
the ladies of the era would not have
had so much pleasure in being not quite
well. Nowadays, if a woman is i'll, I'M
less she is staring death in the face, the
average man regards it as a personal
insult. He flies from illness as he might
from an invading army, and he is a
great deal more afraid of bad head
ache, or a fever than he is of one OF
those new guns which shoot a million
people at once. When he asks how
you are it is in an aggrieved tone i'm
possible to describe, and if you happen
to have enough strength left to argue a
little and mention to him that you think
it strange he did not send you a few
flowers, or some dainties, he remarks:
oh, well; If you were really dying, !
would probably care a great deal about
it all because, of course, am really very
fond of you, but when you are only a
little bit sick, we'll, it seems so unnec-
essary, and I would rather not be
around. Then, too why didn't you ask
for what you wanted?"
WHEN WOMAN WANTS SYMPATHY
From the standpoint of the Coroner
we die once in our lives. But woman
dies hundred deaths from the head
ache, and heartache, and rheumatism
and diseases that verge on pneumonia
but don't quite reach it, and everything
else that is unpleasant and not danger
Gus. And these occasional deaths are
the ones when she would like to have
little thought given to her. When
she is absolutely dying, she don't care.
She is not troubling herself about men,
then.
1t is while she is living that she would
like to be remem bered; when she is I'M
der the weather, as were those ladies
in the days of good Queen Anne, when,
as they are now, but manners were a
great deal5better. History tells us that
during those days the Duchess of Marl-
borough frequently had straw laid in
front of her house so that she might not
hear the carriages go by when she had
the headache; and that once, when she
was near a garrison, she asked that the
| morning and evening shooting be STOP
ped, as it hurt her head. And it was
stopped. l would like to know just a
few things. Do you think the Stock
Exchange would stop its hullaballoo be-
cause some woman had the headache?
Do you think that the abominable eX-
press wagons would stop running al
night, because some other woman had
the heartache? Or do you think man
would stop game of billiards, because
some woman had wretched cough and
was nervous? There is nothing quite
as exasperating to anybody who is kept
awake by illness as the sound of game
of billiards. Next to it, in order, comes
the noise made a man who is practising
a horn that is to be attached to a four
finland in the early June days-both
horn and man, / mean. / don't think
anything, generalizing, would stop be-
cause a woman was ill., And yet, il
ought to. Most of us women try pretty
hard to keep well, and we start handi-
capped, being women.
THE BABY AND THE DOG.
We do not get very much sympathy
from anybody except a baby, or an af-
fectionate dog. You see, a baby has a
way of cuddling up to you when il
knows you are in trouble, that is con-
soling in its way, and a dog-well, he
will lie on the foot of the bed and look
up at you. and at intervals he will come
up and lick your handse to tell you how
sorry he is for you; and he will never
be frisky at all until he begins tc
notice bit of meat on your tray. and
then he realizes that you are gettine
better, and suggests in his own way
that you might share some of the good
things OF life with him. He is very
knowing, is a dog. He always feels
sorry for woman. / sometimes think
he can read her better than a man can
Occasionally when aman don't see tears
in woman's eyes a dog will. and he
will stand beside her and brush against
her skirt. and do his very best to make
her see him, so that she will compre.
bend she has friend, and a very sym
pathetic friend just at her side.
And friend, too, who will not tel
her secrets. A dog can be confided in
You can sit him in front Of you and tel
him exactly how happy or unhappy vol
are, and you can shake paws with him
and pat him on the head, and somehow
feel better for it; then, when you meet
him in the company of some two-leggeC
