WHY WOMEN TELL SECRETS.
GiVers of Condolences Expect Them tc
be Passed On.


be Passed On.
Washington, March 26.-The rea-
son that women do not keep secrets
rs because no one wants them kept"
said society woman here today.
women have realized this from the
beginning and have never made the
slightest pretense of secrecy, or at
least only the pretense that was nee
essary to give to a piece of news it's
piquancy as secret. When one tells
a secret one does like to feel that
the person contided in will keep silent
long enough, say two days, to give
one an opportunity to enjoy to the
utmost the pleasure of telling ones
own secrets to ones own friends.
For it is naturally veXatious to tell
with great impressiveness and much
secrecy an intimate thing concerning
yourself only to discover that some
one not half an hour ago had got
In before you and stolen the fun of
the first telling.
'Bnt, after this, it is hardly compli-
mentary to feel that everyone is re-
mAining silent because you asked
them to. 1t is not quite friendly. 1t
raises the awful doubt in your mind
that perhaps they were not interest
ed in what you said and do not be-
ieve it would divert their friends.
That is just why women have de-
cided to blow to bits that absurd fall
lazy that reserve is a virtue. They
know when an interesting thing hap
pens to them, and they know that
svery one would be so glad to hear it
THAI they almost have the right to
be told it.
THE only trouble connected in any
way with the matter is that there are
some people that really do not like to
have their secrets told-queer crea-
lures, like men, for instance, and wo-
men have from time immemorial got
into what were most regrettable tan
giles because they could never bring
themselves to the belief that these
masculine souls were the quaint ex'
.,epion they really were and meant
what they said about absolute secre'
cy."

An Old Landmark.

Neigh Leader: The building
moved this week from the corner
south of the Atlas bank is among the
earlier landmarks of the city. 1t
was erected in 1881 by Charles Leake.
and used as an office for the publiCa.
ton of the Eagle. In 1882 the plant
was sold to Judson Graves, who con
tinued to occupy the building and re-
christened the paper the Advocate.
When he put up building of his own
on Coe street, no one seems to know
who became the tenant, but in 1886 it
was occupied by Robert Wilson as a
real estate office, and then by the II.
E. Kruger Abstract company. They
gave it up, moving to other quarters
and were succeeded by G.. A. Hewitt
When the latter moved to his present
location, the II. +. Kruger Abstract
company again took possession, and
it has since been used by that corpo
ration, which passed consecutively un.
der the control of A. f. Ballah and
George Godkin. For some time Joe
McCaig has had his office with the
latter.

tones.
