Ella Wheeler WiIcox's
Opinion of Her.


On another occasion I called to see a
woman artist and asked her to show me
some of her recent work. l had previ-
ously remarked that my call must of
necessity be a brief one, but for one aw-
full hour did that artist compel me to
sit and view pictures in various lights,
and then / was almost forced to walk
over her opposing body before 1 could
gain the exit, which she was determined
l should not do until / had seen just
enc more-her best
Precisely as woman has learned that it
is rot necessary or wise to be down-at-
the-heel blue stocking or masculine
crank because she has brains, so she
ought to learn that she need not be a
bore because she has intellectual free
dom.
She had learned that talent, beauty
and fashion may all dwell together in
che feminine form, but she seems fire.
Quently to ignore the eternal obligation
of being charming.
No woman can be charming who per-
mits herself to be bore.
To every woman pursuing a public ca
reer I would offer this friendly advice:
If you are called upon to make a speech
or to read a paper, epitomize your ideas
and leave your audience wishing you had
said more.
If you are asked to show your paint
ings or your works of art in any line,
show only few-and make it easy for
your callers to leave you gracefully.
Never let your love for your own crea-
tons render you forgetful of other peo-
pies time, pleasure or convenience
If You are requested to recite some OF
| your own compositions or to sing your
own songs, or to play your own music
give only homeopathic portions, and then
proceed to talk of other things, so your
listeners will not feel an awkward neces-
sity of urging you to still further enter
! tain them.
Better leave them really hungry for
| more than to bore them for one single
| instant.
| This is busy age There is so much
to see, hear and do that few of us have
time to read long books or listen to long
sermons or addresses, however brilliant
| or able they may be.
Be concise.

Some Things Worth
Thinking About.


work? asks writer in one of our maya
zines, speaking Of the wives of clerks,
mechanics, tradesmen, people generally
who must live on small incomes Why
shouldn't she do her own work, and do it
well, too? That's her end of the load,
why not pull fair? Why should she feel
abused because she has her daily tasks
Why resent them and shirk them and
complain about them? Her husband has
his work, work he can't shirk, and that
he does checrfally. On him reposes the
heaviest part CT the burden, the most
esponsibility-that Of earning q mainte-
nance for his family.
What a shame it is for a woman to
waste tbs mat erial her husband provides
by turning it over to an Incompetent
girl" OF by her, own ignorance depriv-
ing it OF its full value.
Women ought to think more of their
duties to their husbands and less of their
husbands obligations towards them
There would be more happiness. less dis
cord, more wealth. in many home if
they would.

SHE HAS A FREE HAND.

SHE HAS A FREE HAND.
This is woman's hour, and she is
omnipresent
She lectures, she breaches, she de-
signs, she paints, she recites, she goes
into business.
Not SO very. long ago she did none Of
these things without being obliged to
defy every social law and custom
The literary woman has always existed,
but she used to be looked upon as a
freak of nature, and the family which
produced her felt under ban. She was
expected to wear short hair and be mas
culine in appearance, and she frequently
lived up to the expectation
Women's clubs have done much toward
enlarging the worlds ideas regarding the
ability of woman to be both feminine
and intellectual. And woman's own de-
lightful variety. has come to the rescue
and enabled her to keep her femininity
while she used her intellect.
The one important thing for her to do
now is to keep her good common sense
uppermost in all phases of her public
career.
Not long ago I dropped into woman's
club for few moments at an hour
which / had been told would be devoted
to social intercourse-after all the exer-
cises of the meeting were over.
1 was little late, and expected to hear
that amiables buzz of indistinguishable
words blended into a harmony of dis
cords, If one may use so paradoXical a
phrase, which distinguishes an afternoon
tea in America.
Instead [ saw a room filed with bored
looking faces, while one ngh-keyed voice
on the platform read monotonously from
a manuscript which seemed interminable.
One by one ladies rose and tiptoed out,
and when the paper was finally completed
scarcely half an audience remained and
those who did linger for the social part
of the occasion were evidently nervous
and out of harmony with the occasion.
One tactless and inconsiderate woman
had ruined a whole afternoon for hum
dred people by her lack of good sense
Being given the opportunity to air hel
theories, she lost all idea of the fitness
of things and became bore.

THE spARRows.


Il is asked why it Is that the so-calIed
English sparrow does not migrate-seek
a warmer climate when winter comes. 1t
is the question of a food supply which
largely determines the migration of birds
and not because they are not hardy
enough to endure the cold of the winter
THUS all wild fowls have their food sup
ply entirely shut off when the lakes and
riy ers freeze up, while the death or
Information of all insect life compels the
departure of all insectivorous birds. The
sparrow is just simply scavenger, his
main food supply being obtained from
the partly digested grains in the offal
of the horse, and so it comes that wher-
ever horses are kept there will the spar
row be able to winter. Then. it is a
very hardy bird and one which mora
than any other bird has the ability to
adjust itself to almost any climatic con-
d:tlons. A hailstorm in July will kill ten
times as many sparrows as BLIZZARD in
winter During long period of severe
cold, however, it is common for spar
rows to freeze to death.
