Of Interest to Women.

Silence is always more impressive than
noise. and, carried to some lengths, il
is far more injurious than the most tur-
bulent of sound combinations; but little
island Of silence in the midst of many
not too insistent noises is one of the most
soothing and most necessary things in
modern life The philosophers have ever
recognized the value of silence. So has
that myste rious tyrant, tradition. 81
lence Is golden says the latter, with its
eye on the negation of speech.
But silence as an external fact is also
golden. Things happen in silence they
have time to breathe and grow. Silence
gives elbow room to ideas. to dreams: 1t
is the happy hunting ground OF those VINO
cha So the sienincance of things and them
selves.
Women will do well to cultivate silence,
for it is those who have no silence, just
as it is those places which have no 81
lences, that are least alive. Everything
is on the surface, all the goods in the
shop window: they lack substance. they
are devoid of stock. they are empty,fn
them Nature tplerates the vacuum she
abhors. We have all met the men VINO
have no silence and the women who have
no silence, and how they have MADE us
suffer, They seem to close the gates OF
life They generally rattle about notn-
ing, but to rattle about anything Is equal
" unbearable and unforgivable.
Many women fancy they lose caste by
being silent. One, in particular, rises to
memory; she deliberately chases through
life on torrent of chatter. in mortal rear

will stop, too. And the amazing thing
about it is that no one ever remembers
