There Is a certain type OF woman who
must always investigate the why's and
wherefores OF everything. She is not
content with things as they seem, but
a1ways digs beneath the surface to get
at the root Of the matter.
Such a woman is rarely happy. Her
mind is too active for happiness. II is
built too much after the Paul Pry pat
tern. Her great falling lies in being too
suspicious. And the suspicious woman
never is happy. She keeps looking for
siights, and fancying sights everywhere,
for abe is oversenstive.
''where Ignorance is bliss 'twere folly
to DO wise" There is lots of truth in
the old saying. Too many modern Ewes
are today losing their Edens through the
besettIng sin OF curiosity.
I have in mind one woman OF my ac-
quaintance who is of particularly sus-
picious disposition. She never will ac-
cept any one's word, but runs around all
the time, acting as a sort of domestic
Sherlock Holmes. This behavior is
scarcely conducive to conjugal felicity.

Milady Talked

Milady talked of everything
AS over hill and dale we walked;
I had prepared of love to sing,
But all my tender thoughts took wing.
Milady talked.
Milady spoke of this and that.
And when 1 would her ear invoke
She made me feel extremely fiat;
The cost of living was her chat;
Milady spoke.
Milady chartered of her dad;
1 knew then 1t had never mattered;
She told of losing all he had;
My love grew cold, felt less sad;
Milady chartered.
Mllady cost me quite a sum,
Into the discard 1t Is tossed;
To buy her jewels l was dumb,
Ere finding out-but she was mum;
Milady cost
Milady lost me on that walk;
Alas! that love should meet frost;
1 had no wealth. I had to balk;
And she. although 1 tried. would talk;
Milady lost
Milady left, and strange to say,
I did not feel at all bereft;
But blithely went upon my way
And wondered how the debts to pay
Milady left.

and strolled out into the garden.

ITALY HAS NOT

Austria Makes Further Con
cessions, Blu Italians Are
Not Satisfied.

Rome, April 24.-The council OF
ministers, which was to have bee1
held this afternoon, to discuss the
international situation, was post
poned, Baron Sonnino, minister OF
foreign affairs, not being ready To
communicate anything done regard
ing negotiations with Germany and
Austria.
1t is reported Austria has made
further concessions in the endeavor
to preserve Italian neutrality, but it
is stated these are not satisfactory to
Italy. 1t is asserted Baron Sonnino
is opdurate in the demands repre-
senting a minimum of what Italy ex~
poets.
Great excitement reigns here and
in Vienna over the negotiations.
Premier Salandra and Baron Sonnino
frequently see King Victor Emanuel
and discuss the situation, after con-
ferences,. with Prince Won. BeuloW,s the
German ambassador in Rome.
