STUPID PRETENCE.

an who is socially prominent, says the
New York Tribune, that Mrs. ely
mer. who is evidently running for
place in the social race, does not rea-
lie that it is through her own mis-
takes alone that she is likely to he
left at the finish. She is a nice little
thing in many respects, and If some
one of those who seem inclined TO
take her up would only give her a
few hints it would be greatly to her
advantage One of her many small
offences against good form land 1t is
a very common fault among new peo-
ple) is the way she brings the names
of her smart acquaintance into the
conversations in order to impress the
person with whom she is talking. If
she confined her mentionings to those
with whom she is really on familiar
terms it would be bad enough when
the intention is so obvious, but she
is not perfectly honest about such
things-the merest mountaineering
will be magnified by her into an in
timacy, and l often suspect her of not
even knowing the persons whom she
allI1des TO in a familiar fashion"
Pretense of any kind is so easily
detected, and fails so entirely in its
object, that it is strange that Sc many
people fancy that they gain position
by assuming to be other than they
really are, thereby defeating the very
object which they deem all important.

Honesty is the best policy in attain

A TOAST TO WOMEN.

80 here's to woman! May she ever
remain as she is! If she must change.
let her change more in the direction
of what she is than in the direction
of what she wants to be-" is the way
in which a Kansas City paper con-
cludes a toast to woman. After almost
a column devoted to the inferioritY of
women to men in the professions, the
arts and business, the Western writer
owns up handsomely. THE truth is
that no basis of fair comparison can
be established between the sexes-that
in her distinctive characteristics wom-
an is almost another being. Morally
considered, man is a fiend when COM
pared to woman. In the domestic
virtues she is star-eved goddess,
moving above the masculine sex in
planes and orbits to which it can
never attain. When we ask for the
woman who can make a good swal-
lowtailed coat. we ought to be answer
ed in Yankee fashion by the counter
demand to produce the man who makes
a good mother And here we come to
what is really the sublimation OF life
and living. All the philosophy, all the
learning, all the skill. all the muscle.
all the steadfastness boasted by the
masculine. sex might be thrown to the
dogs without seriously impairing the
happiness of life, so long as women re-
main possessed of those distinctive vir-
tues upon which families are builded
and society finds it's foundation rock"
This kind of talk can be counted on
to make the professional woman suf-
fragists very tired But it is in line
with what DR.. G. Stanley Hail. Presi-
dent Eliot, Prof. Earl Barnes E.nd 9TH
err thinkers and educators are saying.
The trend of opinion is toward making
women more So" and people are COM
ing to distrust systems of education,
occupations and ideals that divert
women from their own true course in
to mannish channels.

THE WOMAN OF THIRTY.
At That Age She No Longer Hasquer-
AIDES and Has Reached Her
Highest Capacity.


Keith Clark remarks in the Reader
that when one knows the age Of a.goraan
one knows the woman. Tho vAy fac,
that she permits you to know her age
exhibits her character. She no longer
masquerades. She has lost . certain un.
certainty, an evanescent delicacy, that
was irresistible charm. Women, like
philosophy. are divided into two classes
the movable and the unknowable. Also
like philosophy, 1t IL tho unhnowable
woman who is the speculable. Therefore
to get her at her highest capacity, she
must be unmarried and about 50.
The married woman presents certain
inescapable telltale data. ghe has chill,
dren, and those children have apparen,
ages, two facts which 60 far In deter.
mining her annals. II she is unmarried
and not about 3d." she is under 80
again an indefinite fact. Being "about
30' is indefinite. Che may be more O,
less. No one hazards a guess. There
is delightful vagueness In, being "abou1
30."' 1t has nothing to do with dates;
and many Of US who from our youth III
have felt no attachment for dates car
forgive the unattached their confessed
indifference. -

1853. under the caption Of 'The Smelt

1T Is well known that the Portsmouth

count to pay running expenses. and

That one OF them last year was accus-
toned to bring Ash from Portsmouth

cord.
"One day he brought along smelts,
