THRIFT DENOMINATION.

The subject switched as usual to
the servant problem.
Il really think the crisis Is past"
said The Woman's hostess. even IL

NAL. l was talking with a friend
the other day who had just dis
charged her cook because Of the
latter's inefficiency.
The cook was a Dane who had
been in this country only ten
months, and during that time she
boasted of having sent $500 home.
When my friend gave her the
reason of her dismissal, the cook
turned on her and sarcastically re-
marked: Well, what can you ex-
pect for only $3.50 a week."
THE OTHER FELLOW.
Haven't you heard your neighbor
attribute his failure to the fellow
higher up and didn't you at the time
make a mental note in which you
attributed his failure to the fact
that he Just hadn't made good7
Invariably when you hear the
plaint, II know II it hadn't been for
Smith that would have gone

mind, register agreement with
Smiths judgment remembering de-
fects you yourself have noticed In
work or personality? Why then.
not think of this when your own
work gets turned down? Is II
asking too much OF human nature?
why not be sufficiently analytical
to see where we ourselves fail when
we so easily detect failure in the
work of others? Why blame "the
poor boob" higher UP when we our
selves are involved?
There are instances of injustice to
be sure, but they are few and far
between when compared with the
Instances OF inefficiency. When the
product Of our brain is involved we
gaze on II through the rose-colored
spectacles of creation. Next time

may result from marriage is be-

FRENCH ARE RUDEsT.
Our so-called society people, and

worst public manners OF all. l have
always claimed that some of the
big Eastern football crowds. which
are made up of the wealth and cul-
ture and social position Of the land,
can produce more downright rude
ness and less consideration for the
rights Of other people than any
other assemblages on the face of
the globe.

would be eclipsed in rudeness by
assemblages equal in numbers by
French or English people. The
French are the rudest people on

be the most polite. and the Eng
lish are next, and a mighty close
second at that.

/ attribute the absence Of man
ners in certain football crowds to

der ordinary circumstances.
Still, i have often thought that

who have not been taught by cir

"wA SITES HER TIME"
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


was interested in a letter
signed Peggy" How can a girl
tell a man she loves him. even
IL she does. If she Is not sure Of
his love for her.
/ am over twenty-one and I
think at least a dozen men have
told me they loved me and asked
me II I loved them. or course, IL
I had wanted to jolly them along.
i could have said YES" but ! am
waiting for the real love, and
even then it seems to me a girl
would hesitate about telling the
man she loved him. Sometimes a
girl would like to believe a man
loved her. but how can she when
they all say the same things to a
different girl every night.
and wastes her time on him and
no one else he will know that she
loves him. I do not approve of 4
girl telling man she loves him,
and In most cases when a man
tires Of a girl he will boast Of the
fact, We'll, she told me she
loved me while 1 was only kidding
her"
have also found out that
great many girls must tell every
man she meets that she loves him
because often the man doubts the
girls sincerity when she gives him
little compliments.
