The Woman Who suIks.

Anything" said a worldly matron
to a group of friends, under the sun
but woman who sulks. A good, hon
est fit of anger, with a burst of heart
sunshine to clear away the storm
clouds, Ia generally effective. A man,
as a rule, likes the fair one all the bet
ter for outspoken sentiments that are
free from haunting meanness, but what
he cannot tolerate is the consciousness
that the little passage at arms is going
to be followed by a finishing off proc
ess which ends in sulky resentment.
This sort of thing is SO rasping."
