A woman wants you to call her endear-
ing names even in a sQuabble.
The useful thing about flattering a wo-
man is then she'll believe you about some
thing else, too.
Half the questions a woman asks you
are only to make you feel proud to be
able to answer them.
You generally can't tell whether a wo-
man Is nice to you because she doesn' t
like you or mean to you because she does.
What a woman likes about her daugh-
ter going to boarding school is all the
things she learns that will never be of
any use to her.

THE WALL STREET UPSET.


A few years ago financial panic
such as that which now prevails in New
York would have thrown the whole
country into a fit of the doldrums. By
way of contrast we now read reports
from Philadelphia, Chicago, ST. Louis,
Cleveland and a dozen other large and
small financial centers which indicate
strength and soberness and ability to
weather any sort of storm. For years
the strong, conservative financial pa
pers in New York, like the Evening
Post, the Wall Street Journal and oth-
ers, have inveighed against the ex-
pIoitation of the banks and trust COM
panies of New York by the Wall street
crowd and the prostitution of these in
stitutions to schemes to rig" the mar
ket. The handwriting on the wall has
been so plain, it's warning so little heed
ed. that there ought not to be much
surprise that catastrophe has come at
last But it is reassuring to note the
very general conviction that Wall street
and honest-going financial concern VIII
be all the better off eventually Tor the
housekeeping which is now under way.
