In the absence of any better topic Of
discussion. at a recent meeting of the
Rainy Day Club In New York Miss
Dora GOldthwait made the assertion
that women do not always tell the I'M
qualified truth. Strange as 1t may
seem, since lying, like most other
faults. Is supposed to have no sex, the
assertion aroused tremendous excite
ment To obtain satisfactory answer
to the question, "DO women lie?" 1t
should first be settled what lie Is. II
by lie Is meant the Intentional pur.
pose to deceive with malicious or dis
honest ends In view, the woman Is rare
who uttcrs q lie. She Is seldom guilty
of the lie direct" which Is the mascu-
line lie, but as to the ''lle with circum-
stances" that Is another story. Byron
defines a lie as 1.-THE truth In masque-
radc," which, perhaps, comes nearest
to the gentle art Of lying as practiced
by womcn-an art not only gentle but
difficult, for TennysOn says that "a lie
that Is half the truth Is the hardest lie
of ALL" The half truth Is simply an
o'ncT form OF tact, uuu WOIhcu uTc cOu-
coded to be masters of tact. Nearly all
the communication upon this subject
are from women. Few men, indeed,
would venture to express their opinion,
though Julian Hawthorne has the cour-
age to observe that when women in
tend to be truthful "they come nearer
success than we cam" but on the other
hand "they are able to fabricate lie
which shall bear a misleading resem-
blance 10 the truth more sklllfully than
their male brethren" The most ex-
haustlve discussion Of the question IL
that made by May Bushnell-MOOdy,
who asserts that there are instances
where plain, straightforward, honest
lie is an absolute necessity and thor
oughly pardOnable, and that ito tell a
clever nntruth ut the critical moment
Is an admirable accomplishment" AS
rule, however, she believes that a
really tactful woman cannot get along
without her reserve fund OF tiny,
harmless subterfuges." and that III one

What Is the AmazOn's favOrite
weapon? A Chicago newspaper COM
piles a table showing the character of
weapons used by women In several hun.
drcd cases Of assault and battery before
the police courts during the past year.
AS was to be expected, the broom han
die Is most used, being chosen by 1856
belligcrcnt females. But this may
mean only 1t was the handlest, not the
favOrite. weapon. Hairbrushes and hat
pins figure cOnspicuOusly, and the roll
ing.pin Is deadly In many cases. The
most interesting Is the case Of woman
who went into battle with nursing
bottle and smashed 1t over her antagOn-
lists head. All this seems ridiculous,
but there Is some satisfaction In the
thought that women do not employ the
knife or the pistol In settling their
differences. In this respect. at least,
they can claim more common sense and
humanity than men.

Official approval encourages women
to don the short skirt. The State
Board of Health of Connecticut,
through its secretary, DR.. G. A. Lind
ley, describes long skirts OH the streets
as pckers Of filth. The short skirt Is
especially commended to teachers as n
guarantee TO that extent that microbes
will not be swept by It from the thor
oughfares into the schOolroom. Not for
teachers only but for all women Is the
short skirt to be commended for out
doors. Its advantages are many. It
enables a woman to walk more freely,
throwing her shoulders back, keeping
her hands and arms for defense In case
of attack or accident and mt the same
time protecting her from ENHANCEMENT

A Great century,s Ending.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 AS only a few weeks of the nine- teenth century remain, -C is of interest to note that the twentieth is to be well comed in Paris and elsew-ere with ap- propriate ceremonies. Paris has decid- ed that the present year belongs to the nineteenth century anu will not dis miss it without masked ball, Decem- Der 31, in which each participant will by his costume personify, so to speak, one of the great inventions or events of a marvellous century. There is to be series of festivities, but the dance of the symbolic characters will doubt less be the most entertaining. A ger man, in which the railway, automobile, monograph typewriter, sewing ma chine, street car and telephone waltz through giddy mazes with the steam boats, telegraph, cotton gin, Boer war, Mergenthaler's linotype, relief Picking, antitoxin, aseptic surgery, battle of Bull Run, Waterloo, liquid air, Sedan, the Autograph, daguerreotype and Hoe printing press would be entertaining, if not instructive.
 The century now ending has been full of sad events, but it has also produced more than all preceding centuries to make human life easier and happier Discovery, invention, education and cul- ture have at the same time multiplied the food supply and the comforts of life for the masses of the people and have developed philanthropic sentiment to such an extent that the hard conditions of former times are largely obsolete. Ignorance, poverty, suffering and i'm prisonment are now mltigated greatly by the increased material prosperity of most civilized races and by the in creased disposition of individuals and States to share with the unfortunate the proceeds of the increased produc- tiyeness of labor helped y machinery
 The luxuries of the rich in 1900 are the necessities of life for the poor in 1900. There has been in this regard large amount of progress in the century now ending. So far as the happiness of life depends upon material conditions it has been greatly promoted. Looking back over the changes of 100 years, one cannot but see reason lo expect further desirable changes in the condition of mankind in the century to come.
