may say d .naI tben the T6e Ersnob ma. tbe anu most
of facts; the English persuade themselves that
facts are not there.
The French write books and plays about facts,
and read and go to the theatre to see facts; the
English write books and plays about sentimental
unreality, and go to the theatre in order to be d
verted from facts.
The French live quietly and resignedy at home
among facts; the English exhaust themselves in
games and travel and frivolity and social inquisi
tveness in order to forget that they have facts
in their midst.
People without tact seem actually merciless at
times. They never know what is best to say
do. They tread upon peoples toes, and open the
closets where family secrets kept so often
that they earn the reputation of being spteful.
They ask over and over again questions which
are obviously unpleasant to answer, and make re-

UTILIZE ODD MOMENTS

One of the greatest difficulties of life is the utili-
cation of odd moments of time. In woman's
varied occupations, especially household matters,
are quite number of tasks upon which it is quite
useless TO embark except with an uninterrupted
period of two or three hours before sue; others
without difficulty are perhaps too large and untidy
to bring out for few minutes and the little dainty
bits of work that might conveniently be done at
such times are not sufficiently prepared, says Wom-
ans Life. 1t requires great deal of forethought
and faculty OF organization to have something pro-
vided for all occasions.

distance Of lis miles. passing through
the eastern portion of Otero county

to the center OF Prowers county. The
