Just passed aroused memories of
earlier days within me. 1t was merely
the name of man who does this kind
of painting, with the brief announce

"Some years ago such simple state
ment was not enough to enable one In
that business to live The artist whose
calling this sign declared is the same
man who some years back used to have

in front of that old office he used to
have an expansive and gorgeous sign

The Question of Forbearance.

The new woman asks why her sex
should do all the forbearance. Simply
because nature has made the province
of homemaking the feminine end of
life's business. Goodness knows the
modern man works hard enough for his
living In the rough scrimmage of COM
mercial competition! Married women
are relieved Of the brunt and strife of
business life and the responsibility Of
paying the rent. Maybe a mans tenn
per Is little "short" when he comes
home from work. No doubt he has
faced 20 men with short tempers and
small patience In the course of busi-
ness day. His wife can eternally face
one. and 1t Is the privilege OF her part
nership to soothe and manage a tried
man after a hard day spent in the tur-
moil of a city.
1t Is easy to manage man II you let
him have his own way on half dozen
small points. If you interfere In these,
you will have TO take back seat In the
matrimonial coach Manage" him In
regard to some idiotc little trifes light
as air, and you may make him your
willing and admiring slave for all time.
Man Is an easy going mechanism, on
the whole, so long as he Is handled
with care and consideration in the
small things of life.
That woman who prides herself on
always "blurting out everything" In
the course OF domestic councils must
take her place at the bottom Of the
matrimonial class, for she has never
learned the A b G of her wifely profes-
sion. 1t Is well to remember that,
though 1t may be good for a woman's
nature to be open, like that Of clock
face. 1t Is not desirable to carry the
comparison further by telling ''all she
knows"
On which precept perhaps hang all
the law and the prophets with regard
to the noble art of the management OF
men.-Lucy Grey in Kansas City Inde-
pendent.

Her Knowledge of Chinese.

A young woman at watering place
one summer made a reputation as a
profound linguist In n rather odd man
ner. She callsd one day at "A Chinese
laundry. where she had left a shirt
waist, but 1t could not be found, as
there was no entry In the book Of
h!eroglyphs corresponding TO her pink
slip. After half hours search the
Chinaman found the entry. A mistake
had been made. 80 the entry was cross-
Ell out and new set Of hleroglyphs in
tiny characters placed below She was
told that the waist would be Numbered
Immediately and she could get It the
next day.
The next day the young woman call
ed for 1t, accompanied by three other
young women. At the seashore the ex-
element Of visit TO the Chinese laun-
dry is not to be desplsed. The China
man to whom the pink slip was pre-
sented was not the laundryman of the
day before, and he experienced the
same difficulty In finding the Identify
ing character, finally saying, Not In
book"
The girl answered calmly, Il can find
IT," and the ChInaman allowed her To
take tire book. Turning the leaves IN
I'll she came to one that had an entry
crossed out with another In tiny char
acters under IT, she handed 1t to the
Chinaman. There II is." and, to his
surprise, he found II.
"You only lady | know spik Chinese. "
he said, and the other girls looked
upon her with admiration. - Kansas

A Japnnese Gir,,. Education.

Miss Tsuda. who last autumn opened
girls boarding school at Tokyo, Is
now one of the most marked women In
Japan. America furnished her with
the education she is passing on TO her
countrywomen. She was the young
est of I've little girls who In the seven
ties were sent to this country to be ed
ucatcd. She was only years OF age
when she landed In San Francisco.
Everything in America was strange
to these children. One evening they
were served with supper In their own
rooms at n hotel and were much puZ-
zled by half hard, shiny yellow stuff,
of the nature of which they were igno-
rant. They took at last a spoonful all
round. knowing of no other way to eat
this western dainty. From that day
to this one of the party has never put
between her lips n morsel OF butter
She had too much of II In that first ex-
pertinent.
When they reached Washington, the
strangers found that their troubles had
only begun. There was no place for
them at the Japanese legation. Indeed
there seemed no place for them any
where, and for some time after their
arrival they lived quite by themselves,
with only hired attendants to help
them. They were very lonely and
homesick.
Miss Tsuda's recollections of those
unhappy days are chiefly of tagging
on behind the older girls" and feeling
that she was not wanted anywhere.

College Girl Is IA New Type.

The impression made upon a for
eigner by the American college girl is
set forth at some length in Professor
Munsterberg's article in the current
International Monthly He says:
There are beautiful and brilliant
and clever and energetic women the
world over but the college girl Is new
type to us, and next to the "a story
building nothing excltes our curiosity
more than the women who have stud
led
Even he who Is most violently pref
udiced is first reconciled and then be-
comes enthusiastic He wanders In
vain through the colleges to find the
repulsiye creature he expected. and the
funny picture of the German comic pa
pers changes slowly into an enchant-
ing type by Gibson. and when he has
made good use of his letters of intro
duction and has met these new crea-
tlons at closer range. has chatted with
them before coy open fires has danced
and bicycled and golfed with them. has
seen their clubs and meetings and char
tiles. he finds himself discouragingly
word poor when he endeayors to de-
scribe with his imperfect English the
impression that has been made upon
him. He feels that his vocabulary Is
not sufficiently provided with compli-
mentary epithets."
AS to marriage for the college girl.
the German visitor agrees with those
ho In ~
women means q menace to their sue
cess as wives and mothers. This ex-
preston of his views Is interesting:
THE woman has not become less at
tractive as regards marriage. but has
not marriage become less attractive to
the woman? And long before the fresh
man year did not the outer influences
begin to impel In that direction? Does
1t not begin In every country school
where the girls sit on the same bench
with the boys and discover a long. long
time too early how stupid those boys
are? Coeducatlon has many desirable
features. II strengthens the girls: 1t
refines the boys; 1t creates comrade-
ship between the two sexes. But these
factors make at the same time for an
indifference toward the other sex, to-
ward disliusionsm. which must show
In the end. The average German girl
thinks, | am sorry to say. that she Will
marry any one who will not make Ter
unhappy; the Ideal German girl thinks
that she Will marry only the man who
will certainly make her happy. The
Ideal American girl thinks that she can
marry only the man without whom she
will be unhappy. and the average Amer
lean girl approaches this standpoint
with an alarming rapidlty."

The Odd shi1Iings.

There Is very little difference be-
tween a pound and a guinea; only a
shilling, and yet the keen business man
insists that the shilling shall be consid-
cred. After Thackeray's series of lee
lures on the four Georges had been
delivered In London. Willert Beale
says that he called upon the novelist
in Onslow square with check for

the hands, at least for time. quite dry.
Instead of the oatmeal. fuller's earth

When the gloves are removed, little

Gloves should never be folded up or
