woman's Humor Now Recognized.

woman's Humor Now Recognized.
At last the world at large is begin
ming to realize that woman is not de-
void of a sense of humor. Verify. the
world moves! A century ago the man
who suggested that lovely woman
know humor from science would have
been mobbed. Fifty years ago he
would have been considered humor-
list himself Today everybody save the
man who has told mother-in-law
story at the luncheon Of woman's
club agrees that woman has sense of
humor. 1t may be that a woman's
ideas of humor are not those Of man,
but the idea of humor among different
classes of men also varies. Who shall
arrogate to himself the only perfect
sense of humor?
OF course. there are still masculine
sceptics. One unpleasant male person
recently said that while woman assur-
eddy had sense Of humor, she could
laugh only at the joke which had direct
bearing on some one else, while man
could appreciate the one which was dis
tinctly personal, says the Philadelphia
North American. The listener calmly
informed him that she had not only
known intensely homely women who
not only enjoyed. but repeated jokes
which had bearing on their own per-
sonal appearance; but she had even
enjoyed the confidence of a woman
who appreciated the joke when sup
posed admirer turned out to be the
lover of another woman. Could he
produce man who was possessed of a
keener sense of humor under adverse
circumstances? He admitted that he
could not.

Invitations by Phone,

Perhaps it is due to having the con-
venient telephone at hand that the
fashion OF impromptu invitations to
suddenly arranged entertainments
have come into prominence in the So
cial world. At any rate. the long-dis-
lance telephone and the short-range in
vitation go hand-in-hand this season.
For one thing. one has the comfort of
knowing what weather one is likely
to have, says the Baltimore Herald. II
suddenly, one feels in the humor of
taking a sail or a drive, with a supper
party at the other end, one can call
up sociable companions on the ever
ready wire messenger.
There is a great deal of pleasure to
be had in these impromptu invitations
and those who do not care to accept
have the natural excuse handy Of a
previous engagement. In truth, 1t is
not always easy to decline party
made up some days or some weeks
ahead. No excuse is at hand, especial
ly in summer time. But the i'm
promptu party and the telephoned in
vitation at the last moment seem to
satisfy every one in summer.
We have not yet reached the atti-
tude of the London society woman who
sends out her invitations this summer
by telegraph. But we are travelling in
the same direction with our telephon-
ed invitations.

For hair that is dry an oily wash
should be used about once a week or
oftener. 1t should be rubbed into the
scalp with a piece of flannel. a super
fluffy of oil being avoided. and only
sufficient used to moisten. not drown,
the roots of the hair. The application
of the oil must be accompanied by fric-
ton with the flannel. 1t is mistake
to suppose that dry hair will be really
benefited by oil being poured on to it
and brushed through it merely, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer. To do perma-
nent good, it is necessary that the fat
ty preparation should be rubbed into
the skin of the head; very small
quantity will suffice to be Of benefit.
Violet or jasmine oil is nice. Dry hair
should be washed with an egg julep

marred by bitterness and rancor in the
settlement Of labor differences. The
laboring men of Indiana have risen to

A Mornings Work.

a mornings WORK.
This is an average mornings work,
AS farmers wives complete 1t:
An hour to cook the breakfast in.
And half an hour to eat it;
An hour to tend the little tots,
And wash and dress the baby;
An hour to clear the dishes in
And feed the chickens, maybe;
An hour to make the beds and sweep,
A half hour with the butter:
An hour to get the dinner on
And clean up all the clutter;
And tween times there is Mamma
this
And Mamma" that and t'other;
And getting wood and water in;
And cats and dogs to bother;
A toy to mend, wound to bind.
A kiss to place for plaster;
And "shoo" the chickens from the
patch
And guard it 'gainst disaster;
And change the babys clothing twice
And do little scrubbing;
And then, while resting up bit,
To give the clothes a rubbing.
About that time, your face all smiles,
You're likely to discover
That something in the pot is burnt,
The dough pan running over;
And there's the calf, just broken out;
A hawk is 'mong the chickens;
And Dick and Joe and Mary Ann
Are fighting like the dickens.
The clock strikes IL; there is no bread,
Have mercy on sinner.
For there's dear John a-coming home
A-hungry for his dinner.

So far as dining Is concerned in Par
is, the prices have not been put up as
much as people expected; indeed, at
the best restaurants it is doubtful If
they have risen at all and Paris today
is an infinitely cheaper place to dine
we'll in than London is. But a great
sameness has come over the menu at
all the restaurants, which is owing,
probably, to the multitude Of strang-
ers who are in Paris and who expect
certain dishes at French restaurant,
and order those only.
