SOUND PHILOSOPHY.

No profit grows where there Is no
pleasure taken; in brief, sir, study
what you most affect. -Shakespeare.
A mans own good breeding is the
best security against other peoples
manners. Lord Chesterfield
The heart of a loving woman is a
golden sanctuary where often there
reigns an idol of clay.-Limayrac
A woman would be in despair If ma
ture had formed her as fashion makes
her appear Mile. de Lespinasse.
Though we travel the world over to
find the beautiful, we must carry 1t
with us or we find it not.--Proverb
Women complain of the lack of vir-
tue in men and do not esteem those
who are too strictly virtuous.-Blon-
del.
The art of conversation consists less
in showing ones wit than in giving OPP
portunity for the display of wit of
others.-La Bruyere,
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1899-11-30
WOMEN'S LUNCHEONS.

The luncheon, as a social function of
certain order, has come to be the
feminine counterpart of the mans
dinner. If man of note comes to New
York he is promptly, often exhaust
lively, dined by other men, who take
this way-happily SO full of enjoyment
TO show their respect and
admiration. If women want to honor
another woman they give luncheon
for her. Not long ago a woman editor
from another city visited New York,
and among the affairs given in her
honor was luncheon at a well-known
hotel 1t was a small company, scarce
IL more than a dozen covers being
laid; but the repartee, the good stories,
the humorous discussion which went
around the table would have been quite
worthy of a masculine dinner of i'm
posing proportions. 1t is an I'M
fortunately widespread habit with
women to take t. cir pleasures sadly,
but the vigorous preaching which has
been done apropos of this very thing
seems not to have been in vain. An
honorary" luncheon, at least, is a
pleasure which New York women take
with the proper degree of gayety.-
