THE FEMININE OBSERVER.

The most annoying things in this life
are the worries that never occur.
How often we remark in blissful egot-
ism: 1T can't be true, for | never heard
OF IT,"
When man hasn't anything else to
do he generally gets his mustache re-
moved.
In love affairs, when inclination and
duty 60 hand in hand, one is apt to grow
suspicious.
The man who boasts that he can shave
without looking in a mirror never has
much use for one at any time.
There is no habit that so detracts from
the lovelness of a woman as that of nail
biting. yet how many indulge in it.
A woman no matter how broad minded
she may be, always rejolces that her waist
is not in touch with her mental capacity
1t always seems as though the woman
who is in the greatest hurry for a div )rcs
Is the one in the greatest hurry to marry
again.
The little man who adores the tall wo-
man is very foolish to tell her that her
eyes shine like stars. There is entirely too
great suggestion of superior height in
the smile.
