OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW.

The philosophy OF life bids one put
check upon expectation and avert dis
appointment. That may be COM
Portable existence, but there are per-
sons OF both sexes who would not part
with anticipation 10 gain any amount Of
comfort. To some anticipation is the
best part OF life, since reality rarely
comes up to It. and nothing beyond an
ticipation is often the fate Of mortals.
Possibly philosophy is a check upon
achievement. I thought that when a
man who had imbibed a strange religion
in a foreign country refused advance
ment in his profession and retired from
active service before his age warranted
the act But his fate is infinitely better
than the harassed existence OF thousands
who seem to have grasped life by the
rough handle and were unable 10 let go.

Bismarck and women.

From the London Mail
Bismarck Is revealed as an advocate OF

man had with the iron chancellor on the
eve Of his retirement from public life
The text Of the conversation will be read
at a political meeting this week. and will
appear in pamphlet form. Bimarck is
quoted as saying:

morality. preserves our ideals. and seat
