and the rule often is, "the more mirrors
the more business" A lady barber"
in a recent interview in a New York
newspaper told of the particularly
with which men concern themselves
with the kink in the ends of the mus
tache, the curl of the hair, the location
of the hair, the location of the part"
the effect of the front, side and back
view, the variety of pomantum, the
brand of brilliantine, the scent of per-
fumery and the downy softness of the
powder puff. The LADY barber" gave it
as her professional opinion that for
vanity the brother leads the sister and
the husband is ahead of the wife.

Mrs. T. p. O'Connor, wife of the noted
Irish member of Parliament, who is
better known as "Tay Pay" editor of
M A. p, "T. P.'s Weekly" the Era"
and several other London publications,
came to Ne WORK on the White Star
liner Teutonic a few days ago I'M
heralded and unsung. Mrs. O'Connor
came here, first, because she was home
sick for ner native land. She is an
American girl by birth ond is, she says,
a more intelligent American now then
she was when she went to England
twenty years ago. In the second place
she came here because she has play
or two to sell and she looks upon New
York as a better market for her wares
than London.
Mrs. O'Connor is a great admirer of
Hall Caine and an intimate friend of
George Bernard Shaw. Mr.. Game, she
said, had shown himself to be a splen-
did dramatist, who wrote down" to
the English people. London likes his
plays, for his writings suit them bet
ter probably than they do the Ameri
cans.

A lecturer at Bryn Mawr, a we'll
known finishing school for young la
dies, situated on the outskirts of Phil
adelphia, in a recent talk told her
hearers that they must not be frumps,
but must tidy up and make themselves
attractive, as the time has gone by for
a woman to be excused for any short
comings in this regard simply because
she has a superior education. An opin-
ion has been expressed in some quar-
tiers that the time never existed when
women could be negligent in dress OIL
put on airs on account of educational
attainments, and those who hold to il
are just mean enough to insist that
statistics support their contention. OF
course, to do so they are obliged to as
sumo that the failure of so many col.
lege women to get married is due rath
er to lack of opportunity than to disin-
clination, an assumption which will nc
doubt be scornfully rejected, but which
has some color lent to it by the com.
mon belief that an attractive girl dress.
ed in good taste has a better show il
the matrimonial market than a bril-.

A woman came on the witness stand
and, when the judge asked her age,
replied:
Thirty years"
Thirty years old" said the Judge
Were you not in this courtroom five
years ago."
Il think 1 was, your honor"
And didn't you tell me then that
you were 30 years old?"
81 think it is quite likely your honor"
said the woman, wholly unabashed. 81
am not one of those women who say
one thing one day and another thing
the next"

In several English and American pa
pers lately an attempt has been made
to find a concise accurate definition OF
the word "home." In the great array
of answers brought out, nearly all ems
phasize the idea of its being the place
where father, mother and a whole nest
full of happy children gather in mutual
confidence and love. But there are
still homes, happy homes without num-
Der, from whence the children have
flown or to which perchance they never
came. Homes from which the dear
father and mother have long since beer
taken, and homes in which the soil
tary have been set by Providence.
While on this account the idea OF
home varies in detail according to in
dividual circumstances, might not q
broad general Characterization be the
place where each heart cries out to bt
when misfortune overtakes, or grea1
happiness comes? The place where
our loved ones still abide or the place
where our most cherished belongings
are gathered in brief, our earthly fort
ress, refuge, shrine, treasure house
heart'es ease. What woman could wisf
for a wider sphere of influence and use
fulness than to be the center of home
for though many make the house
hold. It's the woman makes the home.
