The word topaz Is supposed to be de-

stories are told TO show that the word
came from quite another source. Pliny
writes of some sailors being stranded on
an island in the Arabic Gulf, and I'm dig

a stone which they called topaze, as the
island was known as Topazas. The topaz
described by Plny was green and Opaque,
and 1t is thought to have been in reality
a variety OF agate or jasper.

THE WOMAN or TACT.

She had been talking pleasantly TO two
or three women. She had made her good
byes all cheerful and bright. and. after
she had disappeared. one woman turned
TO another and said in a tone that was
scoffing: "She Is a thorough woman of
tact" Now in this case the woman who
had said none but pleasant words, who.
by bright story. had prevented the dis
cussion of a petty scandal, was a woman
who was as brave hearted as any that
ever lived. and who bore not only her own
but the burdens OF good many other
people, yet she saw no reason why she
should infict her troubles on her friends
or why she should not be In its best sense
a woman Of tact.
A woman OF tact is one who feels that
the story told to hurt your feelings Is es-
sentially bad form, and inconsiderate OF
the feelings of others.
A woman of tact is one who is court
eous TO old people, who laughs with the
young, and who makes herself agreeable
TO all women in all conditions OF life.
"A woman of tact is one who makes her
good morning a pleasant greeting, her
visit bright spot in the day, and her
goodby hope that she may come again.
A woman of tact is one who does not
gauge people by their clothes or their
riches. but who condemns bad manners.
A veritable woman OF tact is the best
type of Christian, for her very consid-
Grafton makes other women long TO imi-
tate her Remember that to do your cork
as woman OF tact means more than
speaking from platform or assumed ele-
walton.
