MEN ARE USEFUL, BUT

MEN ARE USEFUL, BUT
"I confess that men are useful; they
can Eft heavy things. they are good at
checking trunks, and in a way, they
have their ow-. place in the world, but
.-when it comes 10 be q question Of devo-
ton, the average woman is far ahead Of
/ the average man. That is, when wO-
, man really loves a man. OF course.
/ these very strong, intense lovers are not
I everyday affairs, but when a woman
loves q man and finds happiness With
/ him. no other man can ever take his
/ place But il isn't 50 with a man. 1t
/ seems as if anything Jh2J was feminine
l ard more or less gentle, and which
made q home for aim, satisfied him.
/ Men are crude, and they don't know the
fine gradad0nS of love as women know
. them.
The girl VINO was throwing her shut
| tie backwards and forwards, and max
ing i- form The finest Of Jattirg, seemed
TO have an opinion on this subject. She
said. Il think all of us forget in time,
and il is a blessing that we do. What
would the world be If II were populated
\ with men and women weeping for their
I first loves. and fathers and mothers cry
I ing for their children? !, is good to for
| get, good not only to forget decenJly
| those who have gone from us but all
I the trouble and worry and sorrow that
comes to US from day TO day. Fancy
/ The horror if those Who have gone could
. see Us; if they could realize how soon
+ they are counted out of life; If they could
| understand how soon after dea n they
/ become not the man, or woman that we
/ loved, but the awful something which we
I dread, and which We speak of as it
I / believe in merciful therefore.
/ [ cannot believe in q Cod who would
| let those who have gone before see those
| who have been left in this world Fancy
/ ~ husband seeing his wife consoled by
\ IN love and caresSeS Of another man!
/ Fancy the wife looking on while her
/ husband yielded with rapture 10 the at
/ traction of a woman younger. more
/ beautiful and more interesting than she
/ was herself. Fancy the father knowing
/ that The children have forgotten him
/ that he is as one who has never been
/ there can be no hell to equal that. and
/ I don't believe q just God would put any
sucn punishment on anything human
FROM HEAVEN TO VEIIS.
There was a silence after this. and
IL seemed as if for a little while, the
I women were all remembering. One
/ probably thought of grave which was
/ OvergrOwn with weeds, while another
/ remembered advice that had been for
| gotten. Then somebody laughed. 1t
| wasn't an easy laugh, but it was the
I evident endeayOr 20 make everything
/ lighter and pleasanter. I'm the girl
who was making iron holders inquired
/ if anybody had seen the new wells.
] And somebody else said that wells were
at once q great pleasure and a great
I bother. And the girl who was in town
I last week told us this: The really
new wells have a very fine background
/ of black net, with huge beetles or huge
rosebudS, hand woven, upon them. The
| effect is all right, If these wells are ar
ranged as the French women wear
/ them, that is, draped around very soft
! ~, and not drawn close 10 the face;
but when they are dragged tight over
/ the face. after the American fashion,
/ one becomes an abomiaation of desc
/ latiou. The average American woman
| places her veil across her face without
/ q wrinkle. and so she cannot wink; and
| if q beetle happens 20 place ITSELF in its
/ lacey way, on the end of h-r nose, the
! result is grotesQue Now, veil is sup
/ posed TO be charitable in effect.
THE woman who is no longer in her
twenties should drape her veil so that
full folds are under her chin, and the
lines and cords on her neck that an
! nOuuca her age are hidden by its tilmy
/ fulluess. In buying a veil a deal Of
skill is required. You want TO choose
the most becoming material, get plenty
of it. and then practice draping it, not
only 20 suit your chapeau, but your
face. Women ought TO take the same
! care in arranging their fancy wells that
hey do in fixing their locks in q becOm-
ing manner. l once heard OF a woman
who had her hair fixed every Friday,
aud never took it down all during the
week.
Everybody shifted at this. and then
| the lady who was making

HDATHEN.
