A woman enjoys CRYING. The wise man
is aware of this and is never heartless,
enough to attempt stopping a source OF
pleasure. But it is one more reason why,
he is not affected by her tears. II they
arise from bodily pain are intense mental
suffering, he is all sympathy, but the hYs-
terical overflow that can be produced on
an instant's notice. that seems TO be on
tap-beeause her dress doesn't fit in one

excite his interest.
When q man cries ii is from the dia-
phragm and the sobs give him actual

and can s~ymI5hatize with him But wo-
men cry from the chest or throat without
| the slightest effort, and men know that,
too. The old German proverb, Nothing
dries sooner than a tear must have been
written BY a man who had had experience
with the wiles of weeping women. There
is a quaint old English poem that gives
a list of the various evil spirits that in
fest his world and inhict injury on more
or less undeserving mortals, and con-
ludes with the startling statement that
q weeping woman with two black eyes
is the wickedest devil of them all"
The principal point for the consldera-
| ton Of woman is tina when she must
have her good, comfortable cry she
| should take her consolation privately.
When not in the presence of unsym-
| patslizing man, she may even forget to
cry; and if she remembers, there is a
possibility that she will forget the cause
of her lachrymose desires, and smiles
may soon chase away the tears. as they
did in childish years. If the sex has re-
formed in this respect man need not
claim the credit. 1t is a busy, busting
age, in the cities, at least, and then wo-
men have learned TO be wise, earnest and
| strong, as factors in the daily life of a
world that demands the best efforts
from them. They are responding bravely
| and in~felrigently, and there is no time
left for crying.

An onion PURGE is as dainty to

of this thrown over it after it is dished,
once tried, will prove a standard roast.
1t is a favorite of English epicures, and
the lamb or mutton is spoken OF as
.smothered in onion sauce" The PURGE
is first made by blanching twelve medium
sized white onions in this way. Drop
them into a saucepan of sailed cold water

The day for very fluffy color decora-

is a narrow frifl of lace or net across the

Ladies Home Journal" The latter is a
plain band on a wooden gown, and often
the same on a silk one, with a row of
trimming at the top. Thin materials have
a collar Of the same goods in small tucks,
and ribbon is folded in small rows, not
loosely crushed as of yore. Collars are
comfortably high, and white linen ones
are worn with shirt waists of all kinds
and with tailored gowns. Stocks of silk
or satin have a srnoth band with a bias
piece from zach side Of the back tied in
a neat bow in front, or arranged in a
long knot, but these are for the p~lainest
gowns or waists. Long net, null and
