Women Are sentlmentalists,

Women are sentlmentailsts to the
very core of their personality, and no
matter how highly educated, how So
phisticated, or how storng-minded a
woman may become, she still wants
her husband to make love to her, to
flutter about, to pay her compliments
and protest that she is the finest
woman on earth to him, says writer
in the San Francisco Bulletin.
Little attentions please women the
er have her husband pat her cheek
values the minute rites of sentiment
tally, the petty signs of romantic de-
votiOn, far above wealth and station.
From lover woman receives these
attentions, but when the lover becomes
a husband he soon drops into mat
ter-Of-fact habits that cause his good
wife anguish. Instead of spending his
evenings stealing kisses from her ruby
lips. he reads the paper or a book.
Once in while he goes out for an
evening with men. These perfectly
natural sympathies the wife takes as
signs of waning love and she will
not be comforted. He did not act this
way before marriage, and she sees no
reason why he should change unless
he loves her less.
Wives must make allowance for the
masculine character. Men, like wom-
en-, only follow their nature. A healthy
sane man is incoming Romeo for only
brief period of his life. No doubt
there are men who make love romanti-
cally and emotionally, but such men
as rule make a business of it and do
nothing else.
Ladies regard with suspicion the too
ardent husband. He doth protest too
much; most likely he is acting false
part. Proficiency in wooing comes of
incessant practice; and who knows
how many women the unnatural wooer
addresses with the same compliments
and the same prayers?
A woman who wishes her husband
to sing tenor solos to her and sit hold
ing her hand every evening must not
expect him to cut figure in the world
among men. Such woman must take
care not to marry a man of brains or
force of character.
All Sorts.
When you see a bare-headed man
following COW through the front gate
and filling the air with garden imple-
ments and profanity, you may know
that his cabbage plants have been set
out.
At ragged school in ireland a
clergyman asked the question, What
is holiness?" A pupil in dirty, tat
tered rags jumped up and said:
Please, your reverence, it is to be

East Tennessee has a monument
with the following touching inscrip-
ton: "She lived life of virtue and

married woman up in Kentucky
the other day, pining for her husbands
society, went with her three little chill
dren to the billiard room and took
seat by his side. Its disgraceful,"
said he, looking daggers at her. Il
know it," continued the injured wife,
land you have borne the disgrace so
long my dear, that I am determined
henceforth to share it with you" And
she took out embroidery and settled
down for the evening. He went home
much earlier, and it was the last of
him to be seen in that billiard room. j.
The Turks have little need of news
papers. When anything happens 1t is
told to the women and circulates like
air in gale of wind. The Turks are
behind the western nations, but they
certaily have the most beautiful circu-
lating medium in the world.
