OF "A WIFE

Holm {
WOr1an's FataI Gift

THE great tragedy Of woman Is
j that she always suffers before
she is hurt, as well as afterward.
Her gift OF uncanny prescience.
by which she always knows when
a man is going to do something he
shouldn't do or fail to do some
thing he should do. is q curse not
a blessing.
She knows, Just by the way the
telephone tini1les. when he Is at
the other end OF the wire and is
going to break q date or q
promise or one Of the Command
ments.
She Is actually aware that he
is going to forget to mail the let
ter or to return the umbrella.
even while she trustingly hands
1t to him.
The very sight Of the new
blonde at the club dance gives
her q chill because che knows
he Il going to make - fool Of
himself over the woman.
She feels IN her bones" that hs
Is lying, when he assures her
that he will break away from the
poker game at midnight or that
he hasn't had a drink or that he
won't forget to put out the hall
nght-but what good dpss that
do her?
She knows. while he Is still in
a fever OF ecstacy over his new
deal that the thing ID going to
fall through or the stock Ii going
down.
She knows, months before he
does, that he is in love with her
and has the wedding decorations
all planned before he has dis
covered the color Of her eyes.
She knows, weeks before he
does. that he is beginning to tire
of the filtration and to look
tentatively for the next diver.
sion-on the next girl.
She knows when 1t IL going to
rain, when unlimited guests are
coming. when the cake IL going
to fall" when the car IL going
to break down, when she isn't
going to enjoy the party, when
she is going to have headache,
and when she is going to DIE.
Man may have to have baron.
eters, charts, weather bureaus
and all sorts of things to tell
him what is going to happen.
But a woman is her own fortune
teller; and she doesn't need any
seers or signs to foretell a thiGg

Feminine intuition Is a curse
that was sent upon all tire

TAKING A
LADY'S ARM
Mrs. Cornelius BeeckmanI

NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Would you kindly advise the
writer whether 1t is proper to
take the lady's arm to help her
across the street? If it is not
proper when is it proper to assist
a lady by taking her arm?
My contention is that at no
time shall a gentleman take a
lady's arm, but that he should
offer his arm to the lady should
she need assistance.
CHESTER.
VOU are absolutely right. A
l. gentleman, as you say, should
never take a lady's arm. He
offers his arm IL she needs as
sistance.
