The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1899-06-08

There are few women who deem them
selves too old for sailor hat.
1t is woman bound by habit who
looks under the folding bed for a man.
1t is never wise to trust fully a per-
son who has once broken faith with
you.
A woman thinks all men are gay de
ceivers but the one who is making love
to her.
Whenever a woman declares that she
will get even with a man he thinks her
odd.
A girl is always shocked when she
hears herself for the first time serious
ly referred to as woman.
Was any man ever photographed who
hadn't some unfavorable comment to
make on the finished pictures.
Some men are driven to drink, but it
doesn't take long for them to realize
that walking is much cheaper.
Time heals all wounds, but some of
us are not permitted to remain on earth
long enough to see the complete cure
Listners may never hear any good of
themselves, but they get lot of points
of which they would otherwise be ig-
norant.
The cosy corner, with its numerous
supposedly luxurious appointments, is
about the most uncomfortable place in
the whole house.
There is not much left to guess about
a man s antecedents when his first sur
plus money goes for white satin-made
bow and an imitation diamond stud.
To the woman who is getting gray
faster than she would like it seems as
though the prevailing coiffqre were dia-
bolically designed to display each new
white hair.

Caleb and Joshua got their posses

THE FEMININE OBSERVER.

Happiness generally comes to call
when we are out.
Some persons consider dignity aud
rudeness Synonymous.
The company and promises that
woman keeps are her credentials.
A woman is either foolish or philo-
sophical who reminds people that she
is enjoying another birthday,
There may be some women who find
a greater JOY in saving money than in
spending it, but we have not met them.
OF course it is a masculine observa-

communicates if they were sure of the
fit of the back Of their gowns
1t is no longer thing to be Dragged
Of that the little girls dolly will close
its eyes. To be fashionable it must be
like mamma and have insomnia.
How often we remark in blissful ego
tism: at can't be true, for | never
heard of it. !"
In love affairs, when inclination and
duty go hand in hand, one is apt to
grow suspicious.
1t is always painful to behold the wo-
man of large dimensions paying out
her good cash for a shirt waist.
The man who boasts that he can
shave without looking in q mirror nev-
er has much use for one at any time.
There is no habit that so detracts
from the loveliness 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 rejoioes
that her waist is not in touch with her
mental capacity.
1t always seems as though the wo-
man who is in the greatest hurry for
divorce is the one in the greatest hurry
to marry again.
The wife of the man who says he
would rather be famous than rich gen.
orally wears her gowns the third sea-
son.
The little man who adores the tall
woman is very foolish to tell her that
her eyes shine like stars. There is en-
tirely too great suggestion of superb
or height in the stmile
1t is well that there is sort of sworn
secrecy regarding what the particular
man said when he proposed. 1t saves
so many women from the embarrass-
ment of confessing that they never had
any proposals.

The greatest offense you can give the
