Gays a writer in the New Orleans Times
Democrat. Most of them defy this axi-
omatie, common-sense admonition. One
loves ones friends. one appreciates theh
visits; and when that friend must hiC
hence, let 1t be done with grace and GER
tainty and without seeming retraction OF
his intention. There was a very popular
woman in Washington, one winter, whom
all the women especially adored. When
ever she called informally on anyone, on
any day but the day at home" she
seemed like a breeze, a breath of summer
weather, a gift of fair flowers. She
packed her stay full of good sayings,
newsy bits which the newspapers had
not got hold of. dainty expressions on the
current happenings in the capital She
would remain but twenty minutes. would
rise, press her hostess hand warmly, and
move rapidly toward the door. That was
good-by. There were no introductions
of new subjects on the door-mat; no APP
pealings mot to repeat a word of it,
from the bottom step, and no reminder
suggested as she tripped down the al
phabetical streets. Her visit was ended
from the time that little squeeze of the
fingers had prefaced departure, and there
was absolutely no evidence of gaucherie
or left-handedness in her exit. And that

mans popularity everywhere.

of their hair. The hair is very obedient

Another curious thing Is that a strong
growth OF hair is generally indicative of
longevity. Most ceutenarians have extra
ordinary heads of hair. A French doctor,
who has been studying the subject for
many years, says that, out of a hundred

with much cleverness, and while the loss

among men, yet If the proportion of the
fair sex whose heads have a bald spot

30 and 70 the percentage Of bald heads
rises to forty-seven. The critical period,
however, is between 40 and 80 years Out
