The Unpopular Woman.

Who is she? Why Is she unpopularf
Is she to blame, or is she the object
Of & diabolical conspiracy to shut her
out from the enjoyment of circle OF
friends?
Did you ever notice how quickly,
easily and amusingly she tears new
acquaintance to tatters, or with what
gusto she rolls under her tongue
choice morsel of unpleasant gossip
about an acquaintance of longer stand
ing? Did you mark her intuitive ap-
probation OF small faults and little
vanities, and her unmistakable delight
In magnifying them or holding them
up to ridicule?
Then you know she has not one
friend, because those who might be
friends are afraid. They see she Is
sharp and cruel. They have heard her
keen satire, her sarcastic jlbes.
This type of woman always gives
Won the uncomfortable feeling that the
moment you leave her she Is going TO
make merry at your expense For
that reason you never quite gave her
your confidence. The longer she per
sists In her bad habit the less likely
she is to ever reform, and unless she
reforms she cannot expect to wiz

A woman who has lost twelve
pounds in three weeks, and lost it very
satisfactorily from her hips, declares
that the feat was accomplished by
simply dropping and picking up a
handkerchief twenty times, night and
morning. Standing in her stocking
feet and without any tight clothing
she drops the handkerchief directly in
front of her toes and stoops to pick it
up ten times with one hand and ten
times with the other, the trick, of
course, being to recover the wisp Of
cambria without bending the knees.
The exercise is repeated twenty times

had one as charm against the collie.
But he was never quite sure whether
he ought to be grateful to it. At the
end of 1864, noting his abnormally
good health for some months past, he
remarked: But am at a great loss
to know whether it be my hare's foot
or taking every morning Of a pill of
turpentine, or my having left off the
wearing of a gown. Three weeks
later friend showed him that his
hare's foot was defective, not having
"the joint to it." "And it is a strange
thing how fancy works." wrote Pepys,
for / no sooner handled his foot, but

Pepys got another hare's foot, and

still wondering whether this was due
to the charm or to the turpentine

without compilation, will loom big and

the irritations and resentments attend
ing their processes will have been for.

amusing incidents of contemplate
manifestations of his time.
Previous experience and accom-.
plishments had marked Mr.. Roosevelt
as . man of lofty purpose and large
capacity and had prepared him for the
post of tho presidency. But not even
his most sanguine friends could have
foreseen the scope and the productive
ness Of his influence on the nation.
The greatest things of the Roosevelt
administration are not the completed
undertakings, but the aspirations
aroused, the movements inaugurated,
the projects begun. In some of these
he was a creative genius; in others he
crystallized and quickened latent pub
lie sentiment; in others he became the
champion of definite but languishing
issues; in all he was . resourcef1l,
tireless, potent leader. Some Of his
policies have become national, and will
endure as long Is the nation lives.
No other president has shown such
foresight or has impressed upon the
people 50 powerfully their obligations
to future generations.

welt administration much creditshould
be given to three of his cabinet off.
