THE WOMAN AT THE WINDOW.

The late afternoon sun cast shadows
down the Cavernous street. Troops OF

each other from curb to curb, dodging

block was an old woman. She wore
q neat white scarf around her shoul

face.
As she sat there, pessersby knew at

Better Talk Too Much.

Than to he : Stiff Unbending stir
The sociable soul, who is unhappy
when alone, and VINO If he is unac-
companied by friends will insist up
on scraping an acquaintance with
strangers, has long been the subject
Of the humorist's pen So-called hu-
morists delight in writing CONVERSE
tions between such men and the dig
nified gentleman, who is annoyed by
the impertinence of the stranger.
So, also. the woman who hangs
over the back fence talking to her
neighbors, while her dishes are un-
washed gets generous share OF
condemnation. Perhaps she does de-
serve It, but perhaps not.
Commend me to these gosslplng
creatures rather than to those stiff,
unbendlng stiffs. who haven't a word
or a smile for anyone outside the
circle of their own small world. The
latter are the people who would rath-
er be lampooned by the jukesmiths;
the conventional toplofty men and
women who are afraid TO bow 10 a
stranger, even though he lives next
door, because his name is not in the
blue book or his wife is not mem

not belong to any of the prominent
gambling associations, commonly
known as bridge clubs.
II is far plcasanter TO live day by
Gay alongside Of woman who talks
too much than along side Of one who
is so engrossed and wrapped up in
herself and her possessions that she
cannot talk at all. or one who will

of aping after the snobby woman, it
would be better 10 be contented with
the talkative woman and cultivate her
even though for a neighhOr only.
Besides there is the Chrislion side
of the question. Christianity means
nothing If it does not mean helpful
