WHICH IS THE TALKING SEX.
Two Women Discuss Some Mighty
 Weiehty Problems.

| ''I wonder why do men call us the talking sex?" demanded one woman of
 another the other afternoon in a car
 bound for Woodland T am sure we talk far less than they. You seldom
 see one of us stand up at public banquet and voice our opinions on
 matters of comparatively slight im-
 portance on a number of defenseless
 listeners who heed very little of what
 is said. and probably keep thinking how much better they could do them- | selves"
 Yes. indeed" sighed the other wo-
 man sympathetically. When I was young longed to marry one of those l strong. silent men of whom the lady l novelists tell us. Maybe got one. am not sure yet. Certainly he comes
 home and takes up his paper without a word to the children or myself. and if the little ones make noise he inn mediately grumbles about having no comfort in his own house. At the same time know that he will go down to his club and talk about everything. Politics, finance, the army and navy. ports. art and literature; he hasn't decided views about these things just for the sake of keeping quiet about them
 Well, you know" said the first speaker. since the stone age men have been talking in pulpits, on rostrums in the market places and in quiet corn ers and whenever they have been at a loss for something to say they have remembered their women folk at home fto< sc Ia- cause women are such creatures to talk"
 Tt makes me mad, too," said her friends. to see the difference that is made everywhere between men and women and always in favor of the former. It does seem strange. but this extends from the boarding house to the home. In the former the help may hope for more generous tips. as mems salaries are. always larger in propor- ton than are women's, but it does seem hard that with one's immediate relatives it should be the same. Have you ever noticed that the wages of a girl living at home seem to be the property of the family? A boy pays something for his room and board and keeps the rest of his earnings for himself. It'never occurs to his moth- CT to cali on him when she needs a new carpet or when the wedding of friend necessitates the purchase of an expensive gift. But all these are expected of working girl and she gives them. ungrudgingly. People oft en say that the home economies to which womenkind is driven are bal anced by the fact that on all farings- forth in search of festivity the paying Is done b. the men. but it is becoming moro general every day for girls to pay their own way to gaiety. Broth ars ma hand out the cab fares and lip the waiter. but in hoy man., cases is there not a settling of accounts aftererwards?
 And many mothers will protest, too. that their daughters are literally treated in the way of spending money. taking great credit to themselves for giving Mary a certain amount of her salary, back. Some say that it so much more convenient than banking it. for if they require it again they can have it on moments notice. But as for borrowing from the boys( they would. mt dream of such a thing and besides they never have anything to lend.
 "Oh. here we are at Glen Avon; good ble. so glad to have seen you," and the two chatterers parted company. The rest of the passengers who had been within hearing distance sighed audi oly to know that at last few of those things were settled.-Duluth News Tribune
