s DIR. I. N. Love, a st. Louis physician,
says the st. Louis Post-Dlspatch, ex-
presses his sentiments regarding wo-
men as nail drivers as follows:
Mature never Intended that women
should drive nails, but that they should
have husbands to attend to such work
] for them. Women ore to be house
keepers, not house-builders. They are
too emotional. That Is why, as q rule,
they are deficient In all things mechan-
ical. When a woman Is OF n mathemat-
ical turn OF mind 1t Is IN argument that
her brain Is more masculine than FEM
inine. E7 $3.50
Woman Is anything but practical.
From childhood her training Is all IN
another direction. For this reason 1t Is
rarely we see woman who can drive n
nail without great effort or probable in
jury to herself. The attempt almost in
rarlably ends in q bruised finger. Tho
very fact thnt she cannot drive a nail
Is prima facie evidence that she Is a
womanly woman.
Man can acquire the ability TO adapt
himself to any condition by which he
may be confronted. Most women, be-
lieve, are deficient In this respect. but
there is no telling what energies, men,
tai and physical, she might not bring to
bear In case OF emergency. II she were
thrown wholly upon her own resources.
but one thing Is certain. Whatever
may come, woman will never be able to
adapt herself to conditions US gracefully
as man. She must be able TO control her
emotional centres, and the power OF
control does not rest entirely with her
intellectual self. 1t is something higher
something which can hardly be ex-
pressed, tF.,+ FL, eg6 IS,

DO YOU AGREE TO IT,

A truce to the middle-aged heroine,
writes clever paragrapher. We have
had enough OF her. Whether by accI-
dent or design or merely q desire on
the part Of authors to treat of some
thing eccentric and novel. books and
magazines have been entirely too re-
plete with the spices of late. She may
make more interesting conversation
than her book muslin predecessor, and
she certainly demands more descriptive
finesse on the part of the writer In or
der to convince us that she still possess
SEES charm OF any kind, but as a rule We
readers prefer the slip OF n girl whose
years alone were sufficient testimony
to her sorcery, and who needed neither
argument nor an appeal to the feelings
TO arouse our interest. We first took her
for granted, and knew that no situation
could go very far wrong with her as its
focus. She may or may not have been
beautiful, 1t really didn't matter SO long
as she was young. hut In any event she
was glorFfled with the nlmbus OF posi-
bllItles the halo of youth and the vet
to-bc such as the elder woman has long
ago foresworn. Middle-aged romance
may be an interesting psychological
study, but It Is very prohlematic,2 both
In and out OF books, and the reader
who is taxed in its behalf feels the
strain quite Us much upon his crcdulty
Us upon his sympathy. But with. the
ingenue In the center offs the stage all

A SMELLING CONTEST.

4 At the closing party of the Colonial
Whist Club, the other evening. the resi-
dence Of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred r. 10y
don. on May street, says The Hartford
Times, one of the features introduced in
the way Of entertainment after the
playing made a good deal OF amuse-
ment.
y Twelve miniature Walls were filled
with liquids OF uniform red color, but
all OF different odors. The test was for
each guest to name the several odors
and write their names on a card. Tho
doors chosen were familiar. such as
witch-hazel. cologne, wintersreen, PEN
nyroyal, rose, lemon, etc, and Il would
be supposed that there would beslittle
or no difficulty In Identifying them, but
It was not so easy after all. for the rea-
son lthat the stronger doors seemed to
dull the sense OF smell as to the more
delicate ones.
Some of the mistakes were vert.
amusing. The highest score. eleven out
OF the twelve, was made by one OF the
gentlemen. and, as n rule, the scores of
the gentlemen were rather better than
those ot-the ladies. A curious fact was
that vial containing liquid without
any odor. whatever was wrongly guess
ed by all the ladies' and was identified
as water by only two OF the .party. both
gentlemen ..s .t. 1901 49,.
