Reflections OF a Girl.
To a woman, love is the bread Of life;
to a man. just the jam on the bread.
Somehow, the moment a man has sur
rendered the key Of his heart to a woman
he begins to think about changing the lock.
Flattery is the counterfeit coin in which
most men expect to pay for real kisses.
Don't try to kill a mans love by starving
1t out; overfeed It and It will soon die Of
indigestion.
why does a woman spend two hours
curling her hair and decorating herself
with baby ribbons, Just TO see a man in
order to tell him that they never can be
anything but ''platonic friends?'
The man who pretends to laugh at love
and to scorn women is like the small boy
who whistles in the dark-because he is
afraid.
1t is difficult to tell which most embar-
raises a man, his first tete-a-tete with a
woman no is just beginning to love or his
last tete-a-tete with the woman whom he
has just ceased loving.
II a man could stick to his wife as he
does to his favorite brand of tobacco,
divorce would soon become obsolete.
When two people begin to analyze their
emotions they ~vivisect their love.
A man begins by looking around for a
woman who can stand on a pedestal-and
ends by marrying the woman who skaters
the pedestal and stands alone.
Why is it that when a man has done
anything particularly inhuman he always
remarks, 'Oh, well, I'm only human!"
A mans heart is hardened by the water
Of a woman's tears, but softened by the
sun Of her smile.
The most delightful part Of q kiss is the
moment just before taking.-Helen Row
land.
Leaves from Fashions Notebook.
Crinoline and the c~oarsest weaves Of
straw are alike fashionable.
Oatmeal cloth, a fabric that was in ust
thirty of forty years ago, has been revived
1t makes a seryiceable tub frock.
For wear with a lingerie frock is a charm
ing model of black tulle, set off by a large
handsome bow of white lace, and q band
around the crown to correspond.
A pretty fair-haired girl wore, the othel
day, a linen gown of a shade between
khaki and olive, with a tie of soft purple
and blue striped silk and a belt Of blue
suede with purple buttons.
Big square spots connected with spider
web-like threads are the feature of the
new wells, the effect being that of a spider
web punctured by square spots Of varying
size and Importance.
White shantung makes a charming res
taurant or visiting toilet. One seen lately
showed the long coat-and to some extern
the skirt-inlet with coarse filet net braided
in fine cotton braid and embroidered II
silk, all in white.
Smart travelling coats are made of tus
sore silk, with a well-cut collar and cuff!
Of black MORE or silk poplin piped with
green or mulberry-colored silk. Brown
sicilian and silk canvas relieved with bands
of black linen or In navy, with the sam,
adornment, are also favored.
Affected cRrelessness has gone out o
fashion. Even the summe girl, the CIR
devoted to tennis, golf, and sports in gen
eral, is as neat as a perfect-fitting costum
and a hair-net will make her. No woman
however elaborate or -extravagant he
gown, is fashionable unless she presents 81
immaculate appearance, and, providing sh,
has acquired that characteristic, the rest 4
OF minor Importance.
