 Press agents roared his worth; Forsooth, you would have thought he was

MEMS IDEAS ABOUT WOMEN

Some women are very nice" This means usually that they have about as much Individuality as a salmon croquette or cold boiled potato. They are mice" because they present a fairly good ap- pearance, and agree with everything that everybody says. There is, however, a kind of nice" woman who is little bet ter than this She has a combination of desirable qualitiesj none of which is ca pable of a sharp definition, and so we bundle them altogether and just call them nice"
 Some women we call intellectual" There are two kinds of "intellect9al'' women. The first kind we mention with a smile immediately preceding the term, and the second with slight frown and an air of intense seriousness, as much as to say, Doubt me if you dare" Se- cretly we are afraid of the "intellectual'' woman. We make plans to sit as far from her as possible at dinner, prefer ring, if possible, to get close to some
 nsipid young thing with a pretty face. But outwardly, of course, we are likely to assert that the intellectual woman just suits us; that i've enjoy her com pany" superlatively.
 There are other adjectives which lap over or recede slightly from those given. We may call woman bright or de lghtful' or Interesting" or keen" but after all, there is no word, or set of words, that is capable of defining wo- man with any great certainty The wo- man whom we have declared to be in tellectuar' may at any moment run off with a chauffeur; the sweet" woman may go into mysteries; and so on.
 But perhaps, after all, the best thing that man can say of a woman is when he keeps silent about her. ss.s.sssss.s.ss.s....sss. during those 50 years furnish a com plete and unbroken record of the growth and development of political thought in the United States. There is no matter of public concern falling within the domain of journalism dur ing that period which he did not deal with and express an opinion upon in such manner as to command the re- spectful consideration of those even who did not accept his conclusions.
 Bryant was no temporizer or trim mer, waiting to take his cue from his own clientele and reflect their opinion simply. He had the moral courage to utter his own convictions whether in- dorsed by his own patrons or not. and he considered 1t his duty to help cre- ate a sound, healthy public opinion by speaking out his sentiments in ad- vance. He took high ground in his discussion of all the important ques- tions of the day, and defended his position ably and vigorously. giving forceful utterances to his convictions.

United States are due to preventable dis ease and accident. The saving of these lives would reduce the death rate from 15 to g per 1000 population and thereby increase the surplus births by just the number saved. The offspring of the lives thus saved would increase it still more.
 Does such a reduction in the death rate seem Impossible? It should not, for it is already as low as 10 in at least two states in the union, and is less than 10 in Australia and New Zealand.

 doubtless true. But they do not consider that the reason for this is not because woman is so hard to understand, but because men are so limited in their definitions of woman.
 We may say of a certain woman that she is sweet" This undoubtedly con- veys some sort of an idea. It indicates that she may be desirable to know on general principles, but even this charac- terization depends somewhat upon our own experience. If this experience has been wide, me may entertain a certain suspicion of a woman who Is sweet" Sweet" women may not wear we'll If we were cast away on a desert island with a sweet woman, all might go well for week or so, but could she cook and have enough practical knowledge to be worth while under these trying circum- stances?
 This is true also-but in somewhat wider sense--of a woman whom we call "clever." When we think of a clever woman, immediately we begin to brace up. We try to fortify ourselves against her mentally, and avoid, if possible, let ting her get the best of us. We know, of course, that she will get the best of us. In time we may even come to avoid the "clever's woman altogether.
 Then there Is the woman who is charming" It is rather singular that a charming woman is seldom 'very charming" She may be lawfully sweet" or tremendously clever,' but when she is charming" she is just that and noth- ing more.
