Keen,
But oh, how crisp. and pure.

AS sweeping from the northlands

Ger woodland deep. and piney

They bring to US the precious

OF their invigorating health,
And stimulate the spirit worn
With all the freshness of the

Reflections of Dorothy Dis
Women Twitter aud Gossip To Men Because Er- perience Has Fought Them That Is What Men Like-Great Problems and Philosophies Are Discussed Onlu Amonq Themselves

woman whose talk bristles with wit and wisdom, and that forces her auditors to do that highly disagreeable act of thinking. The name of the strong minded woman has always been anathe- ma and about the only dates" that a lady highbrow ever knows anything about are the dates of the fa- nous events in history. ...- .... Therefore, we all chatter. First, be- cause it is easier to talk without think ing than it is to think of something worth talking about, and, lastly, be- cause our friends and acquaintances would not stand 1t if we tried to pre- sent them with real solid eighteen karat ideas.
 Especially is thistrue of women. Women are expected to twitter like canary birds. and the minute they stop this and begin to discourse with owl like wisdom they are done for. They speak to the empty air, for there is not a listener in earshot.
 Once upon time I went with one of the most highly. intelligent and cul- tivatcd men I have ever known to pay a call upon famous woman who was a graduate of many colleges, and had half of the alphabet trailing after her name; who spoke many languages, and who had held many high positions in many lands. She was brilliant and eloquent speaker and just to listen to her talk was liberal education in it. self. Nevertheless as we got home my companion said to me:
 Heavens. Think of the horror of being married to woman like that !. A woman who would talk to you about

the Einstein theory at breakfast and ask you while you were shaving what you thought of the situation in the Balkans and the self-determinat tion of some people you never heard of Why, a man who is interested in that sort of thing reads about it. He doesn't want to talk about it at home. Il like woman who babbles on like brook and that I can listen to with one ear and half a lobe of my brain. I don't want Niagara eternally laundering over my head.'
 Perhaps the reason that women talk so much and say 80 little is because thousands of years of expexience has taught them that that is the kind of conversation that men like to hear. When the tired business man comes home at night he wants to be amused and entertained and diverted by the chitchat of cheerful woman who can make a good story of her day, and who has gathered up all the little flag ends of gossip of their circle.
 So the clever wife babbles on about the JOneses having a new baby and the Smith girl being engaged and the Browns having lost their cook and the cute thing the baby did and the funny experience she had with the butchers boy. And husband grunts from time to time to show he is listening, prick ing up his ears when she relates juicy bit of scandal of the "They-say' order. Then he probably says something scath- ing about how much. women talk and what an awful thing it is to repeat islander, and wife smiles because he never stops her until she is through and he has gotten the last word.
 It is only among themselves that women discuss the great problems, such as husbands and children and points of ethics, life, death and the great hereafter. And when they do, they have shrewd and profound thoughts that would astonish their husbands to whom they merely chatter at home.
 Of course, mems gibe at women for talking too much is as old as the hills.

But no man is sincere in making it, for no man likes a silent woman.
 You never hear of the dumb-bells ringing wedding bells. Nobody's idea of a happy home is one presided over by a glum, speeches. woman, or . woman whose conversation sounds like an oration from a lyceum platform. On the contrary, the ideal wife and mother and home-maker is a gay and chatty woman who is a good gossip. and who has a thousand interests of which she can talk without malice or backbiting.
 Lucky the man who has such treas ure! For it takes art and diplomacy to talk lot and say little.

My Neighbor Says:

Mustard stains on the table linen may be eradicated if the article is boiled in water in which has been dissilved one teaspoonful of washing soda to each quart of water. The boiling should last as long as any trace of the spots re- mains and should be followed by thorough rinsing.
 Papered walls are most conven- iently cleaned with home made brush made of strips of cheesecloth. each one an inch and a half wide and eight inches long, attached to . long light handle. It should be used about twice a month.
 The bed will never look neat with sheets that are too short. When buying sheets. allow 10 inches on each side. top and bottom of the bed. and you will have satis- factory results.
 Instead of lining the drawers in cupboard with newspapers, give them a coat of white paint. This is much nicer than paper and when cleaning is necessary, all that is required is to wipe thefn with a damp cloth.

BACK IN 1895

A generous-hearted gentleman,
 looking for no favors, dropped into the Herald editorial rooms the other
 day and left copy of the New York
 Morning Journal" of date, April II, 1895. Interesting? It contains so many inspirations for thought, some bringing a smile, others suggesting satisfaction with today and hope for the future that the newspaper nearly 30 years old will be kept for constant reminder and rcfreshment.
 The four leading headlines on the front page read: "Luigis Wild Woo ing; It Won for Him the Love of Beautiful Tilda Frost:" "Hoodooed by song;" "A Pitiful Ending;" Rosie in Cupid's Bonds" There, if you please, are separate headings over distinct stories--not, as cursory reading might indicate serial story, thus-"Luigi's Wild wooing Won for Him the Love of Beautiful Tilda Frost who had been Hoodoocd by Song Before Rosie's Pitiful Ending in Cupid's Bonds"
 The newspaper reminds. it's readers that Easter is coming as well as the Journals Real Estate number, and gives the further information that oscar Wilde is acceptable whatever he may be as man and that his books will not be taken from the New York libraries mo matter what Newark may do."
 On the front page is a wootcut of man in side whiskers apparently dangling with a platform in front Of an almost prehistoric engine, while a lady in long, fisring skirts looks on registering horror. ''The T. owns An- other Victim" is the caption.
 Looking at the editorial page We find the announcement that the Morning Journal has the largest local circula- tion of any paper published in New York city, and the unbiushing admis- sion that fl has Largest German in America" Here we find. too, that Mckinley said nothing about protection to wooden nutmegs while in Connecticut; that inc Japan csc have seized' an English steamer. England may begin to think about Japan yet"
 Passing over the thought suggested by the picture on the front page with it's caption about the elevated road having claimed another victim. name ly that since ways have been found to prevent deaths from the elevated and Inc subway. during these twenty-five years. so a way may be found 10 re- Juce the number of automobile scc1- dents. we come to an editorial which. sith a few changes might have been sritten yesterday.
