Woman's Ways.

A domestic wife Is a blessing, but
not If she Is too domestic.
When woman says no she wants
you to insist on her to say yes.
A vile is willing to be obedient,
but she hates to be considered slave.
A man will respect a woman il
he sees that she reshects herself.
With woman, her soul should al
ways be at least as iwell clad as her
body.
If a married woman commences
as slave she will never regain her
freedom.
Even when a woman is in love she
never forgets to see that her hat is on
straight.
A great many women transfer to
their baby the love they once had for
their husbands.
A woman should not be afraid to
die. Why, just think! It relieves her
OF the marriage tie.
A woman who is a good cook can
always retain the respect of her hus.
band il not his love.
A woman should not be chsry
with her kisses and caresses. even to
her husband. We get tired OF canvas
back duck 1--we get it every day.-Ex.

FILTRATION is CRUEL
And Invariably Disastrous to
Those who Engage in It.

ITO the credit Of the sex be It said
that there Is only small proportion
oil male flirts, when we except the
word fit in its general accepted
meaning" writes Frances Evans, In
her about Men" article, in the
April Ladies' Home Journal. The
pleaant nothlngs OF social life cannot,
correctly speaking, be placed in the
same category as Irritation. No more
can the salutation OF Mike to Katie
when he says. The top o. the mornin'
to yez, me angelt darliu'; ye're cream
o. the milkiu', the top note O. the
lark simply because these express
sions contradict themselves by their
openness. Plainly, there Is nothing
be hind them. Filtration is carried
on more by manner than by speech,
manner being non committal-some~
thing one cannot place ones finger
on. There Is nothing so flattering as
an unspoken preference for ones soci>
ETY. shown in various ways. This art
Of lattery is the natural weapon Of
the flint, who rarely expresses him
self openly; therefore his methods are
most insidious and almost impossible
to resist, because intangible. Flirta.
ton is cruel, whether the flirt be man
or woman. The flirt is uukiud, self.
ish and frequently dishonorable'
The consequences OF Irritation are al.
most without exception disastrous;
therefore, In considering the moral
phases Of the firtstions inclination II
would seem best to nip it:in the bud
according to the suggestions of the
Golden Rule"
