what has become of the crying wo-
r,au?" asked a cynical old bachelor the
other evening In my time women cried
for everything, joy, sorrow and to obtain
their own sweet way. I cannot remem-
her TO have seen tears in woman's eyes
for many years, except at plays. where
even men were moved to eye moisture
There are just as many things to cry over
as there ever were, and just as many wo-
men, but I miss the tears, not because
liked them-heaveus, moi but because I
had become used to them"
All. that old fellow touched the very
point of improvement which the feminine
nature has reached. Crying women do
not belong to this practical age. There is
none too much time in which to accom-
plish all we desire, and we certainly can
not afford a minute for such a senseless
thing as crying. More than that, ii washes
out the brightness of the eye inhames the
lids and injuries the eyelash growth and
makes us altogether unsightly. Sorrow
will bring tears-that, is naturaI-but even
sorrow cannot last forever. While the
tear duets may not be drained, the de
mands of health and beauty make US turn
to better things
A single tear will often work marvels,
while a shower would defeat its object.
We have been so ridiculed in stories and
plays as weeping women, that through
pride we do whatever crying we must do
in private. And so many of US have no
privacy worth mentioning and no time to
throw away, that it is little wonder that
the crying woman has become extinct, like
the languid sickly damsel A young wo-
man told me this morning, says a writer
in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, that she
used to indulge in a crying spell-a good
hard one-every week. She felt the need
of it, But since she has taken up ath-
leucs she has ceased to ind any luxury in
tears, has passed away from the desire
to shed them. That is one more point in
favor of outdoor sports. And therein is "a
hint. When you feel so low-spirited that
you simply cannot get away from the feel
ing that you are going to cry, put on
your hat and coat and take a long brisk
walk remembering TO throw back your
shoulders and hold up your head, that
your lungs may have a chance TO work.
And when you return you will feel like
a new being and will have forgotten that
When there is need of tears shed them
freely, and then take away the puffed
