Once upon a time l was sent to inter

women, one after another. each OF whom

heart and he replied contemptuously.

These were words Of wisdom well

woman about herself and you'll get her
going, especially If you will talk to her
as if she were an Intelligent human be-

Men rarely do this. Most men talk to
a woman about themselves. If you'll
eavesdrop any conversation between a
man and a woman, you'll find him

though as TO whether the woman is being
bored or not.

WHY IT'S CALLED BRIDGE OF
SIGHS."- tell me about the
'Bridge of Signs" in Venice. When
was it built and why is it called the
Bridge of Signs?
The Bridge of Signs" is one of the
historic sights of Venice. 1t crosses
a narrow canal at the rear of the
Doge's palace and connects the pa
lace with a prison on the opposite
island.
The bridge was completed in 1905.
Up to that time the state prison was
in the underground floors of the
Doge's palace-the palace being the
seat of government, the place where
the Doge or ruling duke lived, but
when a new prison was built on the
island across the canal a bridge was
also built so that prisoners might
cross from the palace, where trials
were held, back to their cells in the
prison. The bridge was enclosed so
as to shield the prisoners from public
view. Because it was travelled only
by those in sorrow it became known
as the Bridge of Sighs.''

is, because in these essences of their
nature, and away down inside, women
are all alike. But what beautiful thing
1t is to be able to dissemble SO well
that no one suspects and especially up
on such serious thing as hospitality.
AS matter Of fact women, in their
dealing with each other, are too artif-
cial to appreciate the spirit Of true hos
pitality. They feel that they must have
the table filled with all sorts Of edibles,
and that they must provide unceasing
amusement for their guests, when the
guest herself is being made thoroughly
uncomfortable because she feels that she
is causing a great deal of extra effort on
the part of her hosts. Hence the guest
will naturally be more hurried to get
away.
If we could watch the men a little
when they are playing hosts, we might
get number of good lessons In the no
BILE art of entertaining.

IN WOMAN'S SPHERE

A man takes It for granted that his
guest win do as he pleases, and ask for
what he wants, especially II he hap
pens to be a good friend. therefore he
sees no necessity of fussing about and
Fostering him with attention. He leaves
him alone a part of each day because
It is the nature of each human being
to enjoy himself by himself He does
not neglect his business and thus make
his friend feel that he is retarding his
hosts financial progress He merely
pursues the even tenor Of his way and
welcomes the guest with his heart more
than with his hands, and IL the two
are congenial what more pleasant state
Of affairs could the human heart wish2

is more than likely, the only fly in their

tough beefsteak, and the heaviness OF
the bread. II the man was obliged to
cook for his guest, do you suppose he
would put himself Ito such an amount
Of bother? Indeed no. He would slap
something into the frying pan, buy some
pork and beans make his guest set the
table, and wash the dishes and scrub
the kitchen floor If he SO desired. And
II the day were very hot, they would
not cook at all but go out for the meal.
And yet women consider themselves
highly impolite II they would so insult
their guest as to ask them to eat else
where than in the home, which is alb.
surdity itself. Have you not seen hun

Is more impolite. women are
unduly fond Of those little courtesies
from men which are going out of style
in these later years. II woman drops
something she is delighted with the man
who is handy and ready to spring for
the desired article at a moments no
tice, and thus save the feminine back
from STOPPING; she adores having the
door opened for her; she is more than
glad to be the recipient OF all those
minor attentions which are so easy for
some men to perform and so difficult
for others. At these moments of be-
ing waited upon in trifles she fees to
the full, the whole wonder of being
woman and has q faint but deepseated
conviction that she is on an elevated
plane from that which is occupied by
those servile male creatures And some
times in her safe retreat of woman
hood she entirely forgets to be polite
herself. 1t is a very common thing
indeed to see man open a heavy door
for a woman and to have her take the
courtesy as careless matter and never
trouble herself to thank the gentleman.
She seems to have forgotten that she
should respond to courtesy with cour-
tesy. Women are always signing for
those good old days the days of grand
mother, when men were really polite
and shielded the tender maids and ma
irons with the cloak of their chivalry,
but they fail to call to mind that when
men were chivalrous, women were gen.
tie and timid. Our grandmothers paid
dearly for all the knightliness they
called forth by not being allowed to
speak up in meeting; by being afraid of
every shadow; by staying at home and
knitting, no matter what was going on.
For Grandmother there were no ball
games, no cross country hikes in COM
pany with male admirer, no automobile
jaunts, no afternoon clubs, but she had
lots of chivalry. When grandmother
arrived men all rose up from their
chairs until she sat; they kept their
heads bare while she was in the
room; they lowered their voices and
spoke only of pleasant things lest they
might ruffie her tender nature; they
kept her In a small corner Of the world
and only turned to her when their
hearts felt a need of sympathy and gen.
tleness; and grandmother responded !
with all the politeness, the courtesy, '
the unfailing grace which has made her
famous. The women Of today are eager
to make comparisons between the men ,
Of today and the men Of yesterday, but
they forget to make the same compari-
sons Of the women. As matter OF fact
the women have lost just as much Of
heir courtesy as the men have, and
without women to set the example, the r
men will never initiate the bygone prac- '
ice. In crowd, women are far more Z
of others than are men; q
