Tho Reason why Women Talk.


Many attempts have been made by
scientists to explain why it Is that
women the world yer are more talka-
tive than men. One recent theory, we
recall, vas that talk, through mouth
and throat, does not tire women as it
does men. A man wearies after dis
coursing for awhile, but a woman can
chatter all day long and be as fresh as
when she started.
However that may be, the rsasou
why women wizh to talk more thai
men wish to do so is stated BY Father
Bernard Vaughn OF London to be that
ONE must have many safety valves
and outlets for her temperament. She
is SO high-strung and emotional that IL
she did not talk she might be expected
to burst. Nature has provided the re-
lief she needs, has made her like to
talk, has made it easy for her. There
fore, she talks, and it we're vain to. ex-
pect to stop her, as 1t would obviously
be unwise and contrary to the great
scheme Of things.
For the most extraordinary phenom-
ena In the world there Is underneath
valid cause, If we car but ind it

LOSES PRESENCE OF MIND

Guest, Though Forewarned, Puts
Hostess I'm . PTedicanaen mt
An amusing anecdote was told by a
young matron the other day apropos Of
absent-minded persons. She had been
married only a short time and was Civ
ing a. luncheon to some Of her mothers
friends She was particularly anxious
to have everything go OF well, that her
reputation as a housekeeper might be
established. The little menu was made
out after much consultation with the
new French cook. She had trimmed
the table with her own hands and all
was in charming readiness, when at the
eleventh hour an old school friend ar
rived from out OF town and asked II
she could stay for luncheon. It was
most inconvenient, but the warm
hearted bride welcomed her.
"Stay, by all means, dear Amy" she
said. "But there is one condition.
Please do not take any chaudfroids.
There was moi enough chicken and the
cook has only Just told me These
French people are SO economical. But,
after all, If you and l both say no TO
them, they are sure to go around.
Don't forget. dear"
Amy promised faithfully and went
upstairs to prepare for the party. The
guests arrived promptly and the lunch
con began with an excellent melon for
each. The hostess, having beer warn
ed against too much food, especially as
there was to be bridge afterwards, had
cut out all the extras and limited her
dishes tue melons. q cheese soifs.e
and the chaudfro,ds. The last she re-
fused when they came her way and
trembled at the small amount on the
dish. There was not even any extra
aspic jelly. but she reflected with re-
lief that there would be just enough
when An,y refused. Then. to her hor-
ror, she saw her aoseut-m,tndea frieia,
not only take one. but two, upon her
plate. The waitress had not sufficient
presence OF mind to halve the remand
er, 30 two women went without any.
And am sure" added the nsfrator.
In conclusion, That they all went home
hungry. Why. | blush even now when
/ think Of that luncheon."-New York

Avoid Wrinkles.

Frequently wrinkles are the result
Of bad habits, such as repeated con-
tracing of the eyebrows, which forms
small lines-sometimes n deep one
between the brows; the lifting Of the
eyebrows, which results in transverse
lines on the forehead.
A stereotyped smile frequently i'm
Prints a heavy furrOw from nose to
corner Of mouth, on either side.
Little lines about the mouth are
usually the result Of much laughter !;
these, to my mind, are not objection
able; good humor and gayety being
more conducive to beauty than lines
are to ugliness.

a patriotic duty to release themselves
from their bondage.

u lclAN -
from their bondage.
This change in public sentiment can
be measured by likening 1t to a sud
den determination on the part OF Amer
lean women to abandon the corset and
hereafter to allow the body to be free,
For many years before the corset was
thought of, women of China had their
feet bound and crippled, and their res
olution now to submit no longer to that
custom marks the rise Of a spirit of
1emiurne Independence that Is remark
able.
Probably the origin Of the foot-bind-
fng fashion Is to be sought in the self
ishness and vanity of men, who wanted
to make sure that their women could
not escape from the captivity in which
they existed. If that Is so, Chinese
men also are becoming more liberal and
enlightened. Mr.. WI seems TO be right
in saying that China has awakened at
last.
