Wisdom,s Whispers

A woman likes to feel she has had a
hand in making a man do something SEN
sible.
When you get into a snarl don't worry
how you did it, but get out as quickly as
possible.
The man who is all sense might profit
by an occasional bit of nonsense.
Keep a secret as long as there is reason
to believe you are doing the right thing.
Women can pass from tears to smiles
without a very great revulsion Of feel
ing.
Mans disposition is 70 take all he can
get and grumble because there is not
more Of il.
Never show your wish for thing when
the exhibition can do no good.
Most women have stored away a vast
amount of affection for emergency cases.
Men are inclined to bow TO the great no
matter how strong may be their democ-
racy.
A woman can easily find an excuse for
having given way TO tongue and temper.

liner must take a back seat for the next
few weeks and make room for the jew

But such hold have clothes and their
accessories on milady that her average
gift to one of her sex will invariably
be something pertaining to personal
adoTnment we'll knowing it will be the
most acceptable gift she can give. For
what woman would not prefer a dainty
piece Of French lingerie to a silver bon
bon dish, or an embroidered handker-
chief or a calendar? And so a hurry
ing feminine crowd have put aside the
actual hat and gown question for a few
days and substituted the Christmas
gift. But this does not prevent the

worn, and many stunning suits and
hats have been seen in the last few
