THE WOMAN WHO wEEPs-

eff there were more tears there would be more
marriages" said the matchmaker. Whatever
men may gay, they like woman who has not
lost the ability to weep IN true feminine fashion
In spite of their alleged strength. men always
want some one in whom they can conhde. What
sympathy can they expect from woman who
knows not how 10 weep. and regards tears
undignifed. No man really likes to see
woman cry, but all men prefer q woman who
can and does cry--a tender hearted creature
who, although brave enough, does not try TO
encase herself in kind Of additional outer
skin, or suit Of mail that renders her proof
against sentiment Il is very questionable II
this stoioism is good for women in any way.
1t is q relief 10 shed tears. and many a man
would be glad II II not regarded as cow
