Almost all men are embarrassed when
forced into a confession Of sentiment.
The majority Of women feel shy when
cornered on the subje<t., Characteristic
which seems 10 grow year by year.
Fortunately the suppression Of senti-
ment is but a surface condition. for down
deep in every woman's heart the well
is just as deep and pure and fresh as in
the days OF our grandmothers, when
women were not ashamed OF emotion, nor
OF its expression
Last night I was looking over an old
scrapbook that Is yeliowed by almost a
century Of time. II is a queer old ledger.
bound in leather. From cover to cover
II Is filled with sentiment, excerpts from
the orations OF famous men living In my
grandmother's day, tender verses that
poured from a tender well in the human
heart out over the world of men and
women, purifying In its course.
In this old ledger there may have crept
later poems, but in the main they are
verses that were clipped and pasted with
my grandmother's own hands-just hun
dreds OF verses that cheered and com
forted her heart and proved an inspira-
ton in her life.
Sentiment Brings Happiness.
Many Of them would not be called
poetry at all by the learned, perhaps, but
the thought IS there. the sweet, pure
wellspring of sentiment which brings the
throb OF happiness to the human heart
In spite Of the difference between our
day and that Of my grandmother, the
heart of woman has not changed. The
woman OF to-day may be more shy Of
confessing sentiment. but she entertains

Do Not Be StinEy with Hooks.
Never stint on hooks and eyes: a few

II is best to sew sleeves in a bodice

we haven't even got children 10 talk
about, and the silence that reigns IN our
house is so thick you could cut it with a
knife.
II must confess that the conversational
output in your house is also decidedly be-
low par" said the woman in pink, ''and
/ don't know whether it's my fault or
my husbands. but the bald fact is that
we've got nothing in common to discuss
except the children, the expenses and
the neighbors.
Nothing I'm Common.
we don't know anything else, for he
Ewes in one world and I in another. He's
a broker, whose business days are hard
and strenuous. and when he locks his
desk Of a night he likes TO lock all
thoughts of his work away with It.
Therefore he asked me as a special IA
vor not to mention business to him at
home. That shuts me out from his
interest. which / would gladly
share II could, and he takes no interest
in the clubs and studies for which

stranded since we've reached the place
where we can't sit up and ask each
other, 'oos duck Is oo?'"
My case" said the woman in white,
Us slightly different Conversation In
our house is limited because it's as dan
gerous as handling high explosives. You
never can tell before hand what subject

that can get up an argument over the

taught me that the least said the less

And what we've been saying about
men goes just as well for women" re-
torted the woman in blue. IF men
don't tell their good stories TO their
wives II is, perhaps, because they are
married to women who have to have
their jokes diagramed for them; IL men
don't relate their interesting personal
experiences at home, maybe it's because
they are wise that they would bring
down a curtain lecture on their heads IL
they did, and all the wielders OF ham,

Fidgeting Children.

The child who shows no disposition to
move about and Is apparently happier
sitting still will grow up to be slow
witted. heavy. On the other hand. the
baby who Is always using Its arms and
legs will be intelligent. its brain Will
work quickly. and IT will without doubt
be clever.
Children should consequently be encour-
aged when in the infant stage to throw
their arms and legs about, to play with
their fingers and toes, and when they
are older the wise parent will not insist
on their keeping still.

AT the end of fifteen minutes, profit
taking reduced some of the gains in a
few of the stocks.
Canaletas, of Spain, was received shortly
after the opening, but had practically no
effect upon American stocks, although
London cables stated that Spanish stocks
sold off there.
A heavy tone was shown in the late
forenoon and the leading issues sustained
losses ranging from fractions to ] point.
American Smelling was exceptionally
weak, declining l y to rs. Steel common
declined y to 1871 and similar losses were

Weakness which had prevailed after
midday was followed by development of
