20 when at the zenith of their power
At a literary salon in Paris Balzac was
once asked by a pretty little miss of II

call passees why, monsieur even when
they are as Old as 40 you seem to enjoy
their societyr' Balzac looked at her earn

remarked in serious voice, as though
weighing every word he said: perhaps the
secret lies in the simple fact that the wo-
man or 70 must be pleased, while the wo-
man of 40 tries to please, and the older

in compromising and with happy tact
calling out and making the most of the

! There Is no doubt that a man always ad-
mires clever woman, yet he enjoys him
self better with a woman who makes him
feel that he is clever. OF course. all the
men like TO be entertained for a while by
a Well-informed woman, but man is essen

happy tact which makes him believe that

man.
The woman man likes best Is not al

a sweet voice, will do away with all The

| SO they are" returned the man. "but
they are more acceptable to sick person
at one time than another. Flowers should
be sent to the sick early in the morning
| when the invalid feels brightest after the
nights rest for an invalid feels better
early in the morning, even after poor
night, than later in the day. The flowers

hour of 1t. Send flowers TO sick people
at this time in the afternoon and nine cut

they appreciate the thought. they'll get
no enjoyment out of the bouquet"
