WOMAN'S WAY OF
FINDING OUT.

''Women's ways are inscrutable, and
they do a great many things that seem
to be utterly without point to men, but
it has been my experience that time
shows they had pretty good reason
for the queer tricks they played u.s."
said E. A. Cobbs of Montreal, Canada
to the Louisville Herald.
For instance" he continued, my
wife has an angelic disposition. She
has always had that disposition, and
it was one of the many things that
attracted me to her. After we became
engaged, however, on several occasions
she did things which seemed to me to
be utterly inexcusable. I've got some
thing of a temper, and l would get
pretty hot, but every time the little
trouble passed off-she having gained
her point, however. This sort of thing
happened several times, but we We're
finally married.
after the ceremony she never gave
any symptoms of Inconsistency, but
was always as sweet and amiable as
she could be. One day 1 asked her
why she had done these things during
our engagement and if she had done
them merely to make me angry.
Certainly 1 did, my dear was her
surprising reply. 81 am a prudent
woman and merely wanted to make
sure 1 could manage you when you
were mad"

TROUBLES OF PARENTS.

Many good and brave natures, says
the New York Evening Post, find a de-
preston which they cannot throw off,
when they see that those they love
the children they have begotten and so
intensely love-are excluded from GER
tain joyous privileges and comforts
which they cannot, by their utmost
effort, provide or procure. Instead of
feeding their regretful hearts with
courage and hope, they grow feeble
through desire and sorrow.
This also is a condition where we find
it impossible to do less than give a
warm and comprehending sympathy.
Yet when we place the privileged" so
called, in the scales which measure the
highest values life can give. we are
amazed to see how great is the major
ity of the noblest and the best of men
and women who were disciplined in
childhood and youth by poverty and
toll. Let no mother or father darken
their spirits by gloomy thought and
self-accusations who give their chill
dren the example of lives of honorable
industry and the blessed atmosphere
of faithful love for each other.
IL is not possible TO escape numll1a-
tion when we recognize in ourselves
either moral or mental failure which
results from obstinacy, bad judgment,
or arrogance of opinion. But it is
much more than possible to learn our
lessons with a clear apprehension Of
what they teach, and to use them as
means to start afresh. There is a GER
tainty-not a upposition-that in the
newborn child God put something
which is Of unquenchable strength, an
undying force, which can only be made
useless to the man by his blind yield
ing to the malignant enemy who is
ever ready TO take advantage of his
frailty. II would not be without value

SOME MEN ARE so MEAN.

She was new woman, says the New
York Press, and was rather proud of
the fact that she had a place in the
world of business that enabled her to
regard herself as being on an equality
with man. But there was one thing
that annoyed her.
Il ride down town on the car early
every morning." she said, with
young man who lives a little further
out than 1 do, and 1 don't mind say
ing that he doesn't know what cour-
tesy and gentlemanliness are"
What does he do?" inquired the big
brother, who doesn't think very much
of new women, anyway, and is conse-
quently opposed to his sister being in
the world of business.
ut isn't what he does" she replied.
TITS what he doesn't do. Time and
time again he has let me stand up all
the way down town when it would
seem as if the very least he could have
done was to get up and offer me his
seat"
THAT is wrong, isn't it?" returned
the big brother.
ITS contemplate self1shness, that's
what 1t is" she answered.
THE fact that he is in possession of
a seat" went on the big brother, ''of
course does not entitle him to it if
fellow clerk of the opposite sex hap
pens to want it. And yet men in bus
mess will do those things. Why, know
a girl who has twice the grievance
you have in that line"
What happened to her?" she asked.

mo, his job. She discovered that it
would just about suit her, but the
great, big brute of man hadn't chiv-
airy and courtesy enough to get up
from his desk, bow politely and say
Madam, permit me to offer you my
job Most ungentlemanly, isn't it?
But, do you know, I think the old-fash-
toned courtesy is"
However, she did not wait to hear
about that. She merely said he was a
mean thing and didn't understand what
was due to a lady at ALL And he him

HOW TO GETA
SMALL WAIST.

The New York girl says the New
York Sun, has found a healthful,
splendidly invigorating sport that
won't make her waist large. With
hoopskirts coming in. she must have
a small waist at all hazards-and that
settles golf. There's no waist devel-
oper in the world like tennis, and
enough rowing would make the New
York girls figure one vast, dreary
waste of waist.
Swimming is the necessary discrim-
mating exercise that she seeks this
summer, as swimming is the only
athletic sport that doesn't misdirect
half its energy. that can be trusted
TO develop the chest. strengthen the
spine. round the arms and supply at
once color, tan and a fine breathing
capacity without developing a morti-
flying tendency to amplify the waist
and shamefully increase the ankle
girth.
Even Science would seem to have
fallen under the spell of the New
York girl. Who but Science has for
generations preached against the small
waist? Yet no sooner does the met
ropolitan maid discover that a small
waist is necessary to her happiness
than Science CALAMITY lays aside all
prejudice and hastens to her support
with the comforting assurance that
swimming will not increase her waist
line. and that IL Is also the most

GIRLS WHO HAVE THE
BEST CHANCE.

There are few girls. says the New
York American. who seem to realize
what a man really requires in a wife.
1t is necessary that a girl who wishes
to be happily married to a good and
true man should remember that in
choosing a life partner a man invaria-
bly, decides on a woman who. were
she man. would be his best friend
and closest companion.
Some men, of course. marry their OPP
posites. But the majority incline to-
ward the woman whose tastes, char
acteristics and sympathies are identi-
cal with their own. There are many
girls who cannot take an interest in
mans pursuits and ambitions in life.
They live in a purely feminine world,
so to speak. composed mainly of dress,
fashion and amusement. Occasionally
they may dabble in domestic work;
but they regard the latter in the light
of novelty, instead of something to
be seriously undertaken and thorough
ly learned, in order to fit them for the
position of wife which they may one
dav attain.
To them a mans work and ambitions
are as difficult to understand as the
Greek and Hebrew languages. They
hope the man in whom they may be
interested will succeed in what he
wishes to do, but beyond that they
are not capable of thinking or acting
with him.
A man wants more than this from
the girl he is to marry. She must
sympathize with him and his ideals.
and not only sympathize, but gain
some intimate knowledge of his work
and ambitions, so that he may be able
to talk to her and be understood. BY
tactfully inviting a man to talk over
his worries and difficulties, a girl can
learn all she needs about his interests
in life. And 1t is surprising how a man
| will be drawn TO her in consequence

his triumphs and failures knowing

croscopic analysis Of the blood of
athletes before and after different
kinds of exercise has developed the
important fact that the percentage of
red blood corpuscles showed the great
est increase after a short swim, in
dicating that swimming if not over
fndulged in, is the most generally
beneficial sport, more quickly acting
on the circulation, digestion and COM
plexion than tennis, golf or rowing.
This is all very well and important

lessly, knowing that she will see
there the image of a face full of charm,
good cheer and sympathy, and she is
never disappointed.
She uses many outward means of
preserving her looks, and attends to
her hair and complexion persistently,
but she has learned the secret that it
is her spirit and not the lotion that
keeps her looking and feeling young.
She does not think of herself as old,
nor speak of the approaching years
with dread. Her mind is filled with
interest for all things, her heart with
sympathy for all people, and she has
found the secret of youth.

The list Is not witty, and has not
even the merit of being original, as the

That afternoon, when the entire par
ty had gone off on some excursion, the
old lady, as was but natural, visited
Miss AS room and looked curiously
about her. An unaccustomed arrange
ment of one of the pillows attracted
her attention, and, lifting it, she was
shocked but not surprised to find I'M
derneath it a little silver ornament
from the drawing room. This she took
out and carried down to it's place. The
next morning some other small article
had been distracted and again she
round 1t in Miss AS room, and care
fully, without speaking of it, tut it
back in it's accustomed place. Again
and again this happened, and then, to
the old lady's great relief, the visit
came to an end. and the party broke
up with no exposure. 1t was only after
the ringleader of the mischief makers
was safe at home and beyond fear of
consequences that she wrote to Miss A.
the story of the trick they had PLAYED
upon her. leaving to her the unpleasant
but imperative task of clearing UP her
reputation with her old mistress, who
she always felt afterwards was only
half convinced.

HARD BED AND
SMALL PILLOW.

mo matter how comfortable soft
bed and large, soft pillows may be-"
said DR.. A. S. Barnes, Jr., in the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat, they are not
healthy, and woman especially would
do well to avoid them, for they assist
materially in injuring her physical APP
pearance. When the body sinks down
in a soft bed a considerable portion of
the skin Is robbed of its proper ventila-
ton and the circulation is interfered
with. 1t also helps to make the mus
cles habby. A hard bed will make the
flesh firmer and the form must, there
fore, appear somewhat better as a re-
suit. The large pillows are not good to
sleep on because the head is too high
when it rests on them, and this pre-
vents that deep, regular breathing
which gives good lungs and in conse-
quence better appearance to the bust
and shoulders.
"One ought always to sleep on the
left side, and preferably with the arms
at the back. This may be little
awkward at first, but as soon as one
becomes accustomed to it he will find
ii not only the most restful and easy
but the position in which sleep is more
easily conduced. The pillow ought to,
of course, be small and the bed hard,
or at least firm. The body is then in
the correct position for sleeping and
for helping the physical appearance of
the person while at rest. The arms at
the back throw the chest forward,
make the shoulders broader and the
back straighter, so that material as
sistance toward a good carriage is
thus obtained. When one lies on his
back, even though the pillow is small
it has a tendency to crook the Shout
ders, and many cases of stopped
shoulders have probably originated in
this way"
