love-making except the uncer-
tainty.
The silver lining to great
many clouds is nothing but
moonshine.
When a girl goes cunning for
h usband, she should be care

Almost any man can start a
newspaper.or family, but it
t axes a hustler to keep either
Of them going.
The girl in love who has a
rival should keep an eye on her
and if the rival is a widow,
keep both eyes on her.
When you hear one girl speak
of another as being good and
sensible, it is unnecessary for
b er her to add that she is
b omely.
Six things are essential to the

How to Be a Jap And a Gentleman.

4 curious clash between the
old ideas and the new in Japan,
and a distant change in the pub
lie attitude towards the women,
has come with so called civiliz.
ing of things. The men do not
know how to act, and the di-
lemma is amusing.
With his European manners
and his European training the
husband, as a gentleman, must
let his wife enter room before
him whenever she wears, Euro
pean dress. AS a japanese,
when she wears japanese dress
he could not think of such a
thing. Even now every Japa-
nese seems inclined to speak of
woman as his inferior.
The dilemma-how to be a
gentleman and a Japanese-is
frequent, and the position
somewhat Gilbertian.
Every fort both within and
without Japan has been made
to keep the ladies clothed in
those national, graceful gar.
ments in which they are so ex.
quisite; but progress rules, and
the corset, the worst of all the
borrowed features Of civiliza-
tion, has a tight and lasting
hold upon the dainty little la.
dies of the east.
