GENTLE WOMAN AND HER GENTLE WAYS

ana many memory.
GENTLE WOMAN AND HER GENTLE WAYS
Once there was woman who never
discussed her husbands faults with
other women. This is not a fairy
tale-the woman was deaf and dumb.
/ need not necessarily be inferred
that the woman who dons openwork
lace hose and a low-cut waist in order
to take a sun bath of three hours
duration on the beach, never enter
ing the water, is itnmodest. 1t may
be that she feels she is too modest,
and is but disciplining herself in order
to overcome the fault.
Petticoats prove little concerning
the femininity of the wearer. She
may be "emancipated."
1t is the unattainable ideal that
causes grief. For instance, the men
who wear their hair long and the wo-
men who wear theirs short, the men
who don corsets and the women who
array themselves in frock coats and
cravats, forever must keenly feel that
something is lacking.
tits generally admitted that woman
is gentle; still, did you ever notice
her at especial sale?"
The married man who lays awake
of nights to think and think was the
man who called his sweetheart an
angel before he married her.
However, if women were angels
they would be entitled to our respect
full sympathy-they marry us.
There once was a beautiful woman
who never suspected it. She was
blind.
Man-crude man, who does not
know whether his own sister wore
red dress or gray at the dinner
party-fondly irnagines that woman
clothes herself charmingly in order to
win his admiration. Being wise, she
does nothing of the kind. She flashes
forth in brilliant array merely that she
may catch the undertones of what the
other women say about it.
Somebody has said that woman is
but an adjunct of man. So are its
them. However, It Should be admit
ted that man would be "bird" with
out his partner.
Suppose the women all were trans
ported to Mars, while the men re-
mained here, how long do you sup
pose it would be before the much
discussed message from Mars would
be received? And it is FIVE to one
that it would read: fDid you order
those groceries, John?"
The sewing circle has gone out of
vogue. The women discovered that
they could without it find opportuni-
ties to talk; the men realized it even
sooner.
In the numeral system of the fami-
ly many a woman is the cipher that
multiplies mans worth by ten.
There is no essential relation be-
tween the size of the waist and that
of the brain, but it is not particularly
strange that, after carefully studying
women as they appear on the street,
some men have concluded that
there is.
Many men feel sorrowful because
their wives do not like to keep house.
Will such men as would like the job
please to stand? Don't all rise at
once; probably all who are very de-
sirous can be gratifed.
Man never attains height of be-
nevolence equal to that on which gen
tie woman feels that she stands when
she pays another woman's fare on a
street railway.
The greatest man that ever lived
probably lacked several degrees OF
being as great as mother imagined
him to be.
The most bitter opponent of dec
olette costume that / ever knew was
woman who was S feet 9 inches tall
and weighed 1903 pounds. I used to
feel vast amount of respect for her
moral convictions.
A house without a closet is con-
ceivable, but a house without mir
ror never
1t is difficult to imagine what some
men would do with the large sums OF
money they make were it not for
some gentle, loving, faithful little
women who earnestly helps them tc
spend the coin.
A bird il milliner's show-windoW
is worth about two thousand in the
bush.
There is justiftable inference thai
the man who villifes womankind
must have been unfortunate in the
selection of a mother.
The chnrch without women is sit
uated on the bank of the lake with
out water.
Nothing is more beautiful than {
maiden's husband everyone ad
mits, too, that it is cheap at rs cents
box.
Tell blind man how high madam
| lifts her skirts on the street and be
can form fairly safe estimate wheth
er she has on her prettiest hose or on,
of the other pairs.
To be sure, Eve did give Adam ;
bite of the apple, but who dares t.
doubt that he was hanging arount
and looking wistfully at it?
The boy who was beaten in schoo
by the girls is easily discoverabl,
after he has attained manhood. H
always insists that woman is man
mental inferior.-AJ1ed !. Wate,
