WOMAN'S
WORLD.

none an interview with her maker for
an appointment with her dressmaker.
The woman who is constantly blush
ing must be terribly we'll informed.
In matrimony, to retain happiness
and make it last to the end, it is not
a question for a woman to remain
beautiful-it is a question for her to
remain interesting.
Nine. Grand's idea is that all the
faults Of woman are to be laid at the
door of man. This, protest, is quite
unfair.
The American man is practically the
slave of woman.
Any girl who tries to attain too great
an education runs the risk of becom-
ing what 1 may call 'Bostonized."
Education is to women very often
what wealth is to men. 1t does not
take a woman long to become a par
venu in the matter of education.
Why is it that ugly women hate the
pretty ones?
Why are women less indulgent than
men to the faults of women?
There. comes a time when a woman
has to make up her mind to choose
between being called dear old SOUL y
or "a crabby old thing"
Women should have two great aims
in Hfe-trying to be beautiful and sue
ceeding in being pleasant
This is what Sarah Grand says:
When you meet a man who describes
himself as a mere man. you would
always do we'll to ask what he wants,
for since man first swung himself from
the bough in the forest primeval and
stood upon his two legs he has never
assumed that position for nothing.
The kindness Of men are oItener the
outcome of their own satisfaction than
their desire to please.
Men are useful, and they make excel
lent comrades.
One of the most delightful persons
/ ever met was an old gentleman who,
early In life, had sworn off finding fault
with the weather.
The truth is that few men are
match for a designing woman.
Women are further advanced NOR
ally than men, more ready to respond
to ennobling influences, and when
those influences are absent from their
minds they suffer.
Men are educated to be public-spirit-
ed, but not in the matter of marriage,
and this is a mistake.
But at crisis in life one turns in
vain to woman. She has nothing to
offer but hairpins.
When a woman is blessed with
good father, she is rich; when with
good husband as well as good faith
err, she is apt to grow selfish, for she
must feel that everything that is best
in life was created for her sole benefit.
We are not trained up yet, says the
Argonaut. to the marriage Of the real
ly old woman to the young man. Prob
ably fifty years from now it will be
quite the fashion, and grandmas of 20
will have the air of being rs. But
there is such a piteous side of it. The
woman appears so humiliatingly old
and looks as if she knew it. Her paint
and powder and blond curls are pierre
ingly pathetic, indicating such a gal
liant fight against an enemy who has
already won. One day in the Due di
Rivoli, in Paris, / encountered one O.
these bedlzened old DANES walking
with young and handsome man, tall
very slim and we'll dressed She was
little woman and walked stiffly, as
though her boots were too tight She
was radiantly dressed in white, a white
parasol was spread over her head, on
which was perched an elaborate
light hat Her face was rich
ly painted, with a pair of
crimson lips as the deepest note of
color, and fringe of auburn curls was
on her forehead. She looked haggard
and aged. There was something curl
ously familiar about her face, and, as
she spoke, 1 suddenly saw who it was
-Adelina Patti and her young hus-
band! 1t was a shock. This was what
1.-THE last of the great prima donnaS"
had come to.
It was about s o'clock. The woman
got ready and went down to the par
Tor to wait for Jack. When the min
ute hand of the tall clock in the hall
pointed to five minutes of 4, says the
New York Sun, she gave little cry
of Impotence.
These men, these men!" she ejacu-
lated.
The landlady had-been watching her
all the time from the back room.
why don't you go without him?"
she asked.
I'm going to buy hat" exclaimed
the woman. HE must help me select
1t. He has excellent taste, Jack has.
Besides, unless he likes my winter hat,
life will hardly be worth living, he'll
complain so.'
"All I've got to say remarked the
landlady, sis that you're training him
wrong, to begin with. If you let him
know how much you think of his opin-
ion now, what will it be after you are
married."
1t was five minutes after now. The
doorbell rang and Jack stood outside.
She ran to admit him.
why are you so later" she asked,
and before he could think up plausi-
BILE story, she added Hurry up; 1
want to see the hats by daylight. Once
| bought blue hat by electric light
and when I got home and saw it by
daylight it was green"
She had put on her prettiest clothes.
Jack, therefore. looking down at her,
thinking how charming it was of her
not to buy her winter hat without con-
sulting him, felt prouder and CHESTER
than for many a day He said to him
self that he would justify her conf
dence in his taste, by selecting her a
hat which would make her look even
prettier than she did, if that were pos
sible.
Eventually they arrived at a milli-
ner's shop. Here he heard one of the
girls say to the woman:
Did you want to trim your hat your
self?"
The woman answered Indignantly:
Not that anybody knows of. Money
couldn't pay me to go out on the street
In hat that l had trimmed myself"
Then he saw the girl throw up her
chin and say scornfully: You'll find
the trimmed hats on the second floor.
