low value on women. Here are some sam
pies:
The beauty of man is in his spirit; the
spirit of woman is in Aer beauty.
Always consult your wife, but do as you
please.
When you want to get square with a man..
give him handsome wife: when you want
revenge on woman, give her handsome
husband
The Hndus are not much more respectful
than the Arabs. They say:
! The coquette is like your shadow; chase
+! her and she fses from you, flee from her
and she chaseS you.
Do you want to test the hneness of gold?
Use acid. The strength of an OK? Beat II.
The nature of a man? Let him talk. The
| thoughts of a woman? There's no way.
Next comes the cynical Chinaman with "a
cutting maxim:
she never lets 1t grow rusty. The spirit OF a
woman Is quicksilver and her heart is of
wax.
The Persian says:
When you go to war. say prayer: when
you go to sea. say two prayers; when you
get married, pray all the time.
To a question, What is a woman" the
Turk answers. "A prisoner" the Albanian.
"A slave" the Servian, "A servant" the
Bulgarian "A companion" the Greek, "A
queen"
The gallant French are among the most
brutal in their folk sayings about women.
Where there are dogs" they say, there
are 1teas: where there is bread, there are
| mice; where there's a woman, there's the
devil, Another current saying is, Women
and fools never forgive" Also
A woman laughs when she can and weeps
when she wills.
What the devil can't do, woman accom-
plishes.
The man who beats his wife is like a man
who beats bag OF -four. All that's good
flies away; what's left is not worth having

English Girls and American Husbands

Young American millionaires. 1t would

in the direction Of the pretty and well-born
English girl, and one or two recent mar
riages and engagements have proved TO an
anna zed world that If the vivacious Ameri-

specimens of our more needy aristocracy
the handsome and healthy young English
woman has only TO smile to find the trans

that American English marriages more
likely Ia DE successful on the whole than
Anglo American alliances. English girls of
the higher classes. even when they are
beauties are not spoiled in the way that
American women are. They will take the
adulation of their American husbands with
delight and gratitude instead of a right.
Moreover, II IS a notorious fact that the

lowered spouse, whereas the American is
a sentimental person, and will therefore
appreciate his more tender-hearted wife.
Our girls have occasionally been scoffed at
because they did not attract American ad-
7nirers, but the truth Is that formerly
American youth and English beauty never
met each other, says Womans Life. With
the Increased facilities of travel the Eng
lish fishing for millions may become AS
common the American angling for coro-
nets Prudent English mothers will have
n 'ist of transatlantic fortunes" lust as

deNcacy of her sex from the heavier oc-

lIagmann are helping to upset this mis-

Minnie Hagmann is the daughter of a
man who began life as a 1ourneyman black

the shop-a little one just outside Of st.
