THE FEMININE OBSERVER.

The person who waits for inspiration in
any line OF work ought to have pretty
strong bank account to fall back upon.
Many a very fat feminine purse thar
looks as though 1t Ia bursting with bills
really is doing so, but they are OF the
unreceipted variety.
Whenever a person gives us som, good
advice We always feel that 1t might haze

on our own.

man having his little fling instead OF
Directing 10 It,. He tires of II 50 much
sooner that way.
II Is really remarkable woman who can
look Interested IN some one elss,s talk
when she is just dying to break in ana fell
something herself
Women can always see the mistake
others are making when they marry. hui
never are able to view their own ma,ri-
monial ventures in that light until 1t Is
too late TO mend.
The woman who allows a man to smoke
when he is walking with her gives per-
sons the Impression that she has less NJ
an idea OF the fitness of things even than
he has. '''-
woman's real devotion to man Is
shown by her ability to let him alone
when she sees he doesn't want her. and I,
snow no resentment when he is nj last
ready to come around.
