/ This IS the same sort of girl who when
she is child likes to see how far she can
lean over the roof of the house without

Most married men firts begin their ad-
Vances by appealing to the sympathies Of
some attractive girl CThey seldom seek
sympathy from a plain woman) They talk
OF an unsympatnetic home life and a wife

a lot. They assure their listener that they

The maternal instinct latent in every wo-

The wife who criticises her husband for
Inc cdincation of other men is just as I'M

Any self-respecting girl ought to silence

When Charlotte and Emily Bronte, saws
the New York Sun, were little women
they lived hard, desolate life on the
bleak Yorkshire moors, and found the
I cA4'NA biteA9tiAt VI tntlI young lives IN DldE-
ing with set of very ugly wooden dolls.
Ihey thought rather slightingly of doll
| babes, dressed the wooden figures in coats
and trousers, and gave them most heroic
names. Charlotte Broute's favorite play
fellow was called the Duke of Wellington.
and the gallant Duke had armies of tin
soldiers against Emilys Napoleon. or stood
up TO listen while Charlotte read to him
long poems she had composed in his hon
or. Besides the battles, these children
built a tiny stage in their nursery, and
wrote little plays for the dolls to act, and
composed romances, in which one doll res
cued another from the pirates or Turks,
or went tiger shooting in a Jungle of
shaWls in one end of the playroom
The Bronte dolls had very exciting lives
| indeed, but their end was not so sad as
that Of Jane Welsh Carlyle's doll This
| clever woman was precoclous as a child,
and she loved only one doll. When at
last in her studies the girl began to trans
! late the first book of Virgil, she decided
1t was time to give up doll games. Ac-
| cordngly, she piled on It's bed all the
dolls clothes, added several lead pencils
| a few sticks of cinnamon, grated over
| this some nutmeg, and emptied over the
| funeral pyre vial of perfume. Finally,
| with many tears, she pretended that the
! doll had stabbed herself, and laying the
| unhappy sawdust corpse on the bed, set
/ fire to it, When the fire began to burn
| the doll Jane Welsh's feelings gave way.
! She cnatched it from the flames, but all
too, late, and the toy was soon reduced to
ashes
When a young Laplander is In love with
