without Tack the Humorous woman

l
xxy,,hout TacIs the Humorous w oman
MnI,es More Enemies Than Friends
The funny woman per Sc is pesu-
lance in the land. Carelessly and
ropuishly she seeks only to make the
world laugh, sends her merry shot ana
shells here and there, and takes no note
| ~ the wounded in the field. 1t is she
who holds up our weaknesses to ridi-
Guile. reveals our secret ambitions, ana
makes puns upon our most solemn OBJ
servations.
Now ms blessed as humor is and as
healthy as laughter is, there are some
things in the universe which are not
funny. But it seems that there is noth-
ing good enough or sacred enough TO
escape the confirmed joker. OFTEN IL
is mere fippancy wearing the genial
euise of true humor, and for the accom-
plishment of pitiful pun the highest
and purest themes are dragged down
and turned to laughter and contempt.
The funny woman, in spite OF her
brilliant conversational qualities, is
rarely social success. Unbridled wit
and tact are nimical. The wag who is
Eb1rsting with a mot will hardly ever
repress it just to preserve harmony.
Now. when one wants dinner party to
90 off pleasantly and smoothly one does
not feel safe in inviting guest who
NAV, in moment of eNuberant run,
create one of those lawful pauses so
dreaded in society, or innocently en-
rage some eminent parsonage by tell
ing "home shot" Genius for humor is
like any other sort of genius-you must
take it rs you find it, and il is very diff
cult thing to confne in n straight jacket
of conventionality.
The funny woman is not usually 4
winner in the game of hearts, though
she may succeed in affording her men
friends excellent entertainment. The
ideal girl-that paragon of mans fancy
lis not usually she who is prone to
puns and who is likely to find funny
spot in the most sentimental situation.
Men may admire quickness of wit in the
abstract, but they are not so apt to fall
in love with n girl who is always maxi
ing smart speeches." They are as
disagreeably startled by sharp wit on
the lips of pretty girl as though they
had found pepper in their ice cream,
Dear, funny woman, we would not
laugh always, nor live perpetually in
shower of mental fireworks. Ever and
again we pine to commune with the
earnest, grave and jokeless friend with
whom we may discuss some profound
and solemn theme without being met
by fusllade of feeble puns and With
cisms We know you are very funny,
but ones face aches with continual
smiling. and an exclusively funny diet
is about as sustaining rs ration OF
mere pepper and salt. Truly there is
time to laugh, but it is not all the time.

In RInck and white.

Black and white combinations are
immensely fashionable, and all black
toilets have distinction that makes the
fact that they are smart more than ever
acceptable. One that remember as be-
ing worn one afternoon on the golf
links was of black crepe de chine, the
whole gown covered with broad bands
of rich black guipure lace, set in both
directions, leaving, in this way, but
small squares of the original crepe
foundation. The black lace was en-
HANGED by wonderfully interviewer
threads of silver, the underskirt being
OF black crepe on soft silk foundation,
so that the frock was mysteriously
cringing and noiseless. The skirt
trailed a bit over the grass, and the
pouchy bodice was frightened by a
slender vest of heavy silver and Jet en-
broidery on white satin, black lisse
bow flaring out under the chin, and
guipure epaulets broadening the shout
ders, which, with hearms, were loosely
defined by the smooth sleeves of unlined
black lace, silver embroidered. A bit of
black satin encircled the waist, and n
hat of black satin straw was heavy with
dropping black plumes.-St. Louis Re-

AT LoNEsoMEHuRsT
An Agent Flags n Train Just 10 Have
Some Company.

Not long ago a new station agent was
appointed at one of the small suburban
towns. The said town has tolerably fair
street car accommodations. Hence the
local trains on the railroad do not stop
except upon signal. The agent, who is
not very bright, was fully instructed
in his duties and given to understand
that whenever he had passenger ne
was to flag the train.
He attended to the duties OF his once
in proper way, but he seemed TO nave
an impression that everything was not
right, inasmuch as he was doing no pas
senger business for the road He had
been in office three days and not pas
senger showed up to gladden. his weary
heart.
On the evening of the third day he
came TO the conclusion that something
must be done to make his job secure
In his opinion, it would not do to have
trains whistling by and he standing all
the day idle. He would break the
monotony of the situation at all costs.
As a local drew near, about the hour
of dusk, he took his position on the plat
form with red lantern in his hand.
He waved it vigorously, and the train
came to n standstil.. The conductor
alighted and looked up and down the
platform, but no passenger was in sight.
There was no one but the agent. and
he looked supremely happy, as the pas
senger train had stopped
"Where's your passengers?" asked
the conductor.
There amt none" said the agent.
what did you signal for?"
II just thought maybe you had some
one to get off. Anyhow, it's so dern
lonesome here that if this corporation
don't stop all trains at this station reg
ularly I'm goin' to throw up the job.

AND SHE NEVER KNEW.
A Horrid Man Wanted the Girls to
Tell Her.

There had been several good speakers
before Miss Susan Bloomfield pulled
down her vest, ran finger around the
edge of her collar and advanced to the
edge of the platform. She was large
woman, with moles upon her chin aud
checks and complexion like piece Of
breakfast bacon; but she had a convinc-
ing way of shaking the index finger
of her right hand, and she was frequent
ly applauded by her enthusiastic Sis
tiers.
After she had dwelt at length upon
the injustice Of depriving women of the
privilege of suffrage and had held man
UP as an inferior animal, whose speedy
determination was all that could pos
sbly save the world from going to de-
struction, she exclaimed:
And now they want to tell us what
we must wear! (Laughter.) They seek
to measure our skirts for us and TO die
tate the style of our sleeves. (Groans.)
Shall we submit tamely to this oppres-
sion? (Cries of NO, no!'O Shall we
permit these bipeds, who, according 10
one of their own number, have de-
scended from monkeys hilarious
shouts) to fost their ideas of beauty
upon us? And this brings me to the
main point of my argument. What
makes woman beautiful? That is the
question-what makes her lovely?
What"
But at this point meek-looking man
who had been listening quietly to the
roasting of his brothers arose and said:
Girls, if any of you know. don't keep
it back. Tell her. Don't let her go away
fIom here without knowing. if you can
help it,"
He then grabbed his hat and ran, and
the meeting broke up in wild cSnfusion.

ADVANTAGES OF BARE FEET.
Are the Children of the Time I'D ressed
to Deathf"

to Deathf"
Visitors to Scotland used TO be hor-
rified on seeing so many children run
ming about barefooted. Bare feet are
less common now than they were a
generation ago, and perhaps the
change, while showing growing pros
perity in the nation, is not altogether
to be recommended. Childrens feet
grow so fast that to keep them always
properly shod is n matter that requires
considerable care and some eXpendi
ture. 1t matters very little to a child's
future well-being that AT some period
Of it's childhood the sleeves of jacket
have been too short or the skirt of a
frock too scant; but the compression
of feet in boots too tight, or, even
worse, too short, may be cause of tor
ment in future years. Infinitely bet
ter are bare feet than clumsy, heavy. ill
shapen boots. In the winter the feet
may indeed want some protection from
cold and wet. but during great part
Of the year children may safely and
BEAUTIFULLY go barefooted
Some mothers, by no means of the
poorest class, are convinced that the
comfort and symmetry of the feet in
maturer years are largely to be gained
by giving them freedom during the
time of growth. At a very fashionable
marriage some. time ago child brides
maid was seen silk-robed, but shoe
less.
And il shoes are undesirable, how
much more so are gloves? Except the
thick wooden ones for winter warmth,
gloves should be banished from a
child's wardrobe.-Pall Mall Gazette.
