Types of Women

There are four types of women
Charlie. There are the unfortunates
who have been granted no attractions
physical or otherwise They have
heaps Of friends Of their own sex and
kind, they live In women's clubs or in
stitutions, and find an outlet for their
emotions in religion and the love af,
fairs Of other people. Then there is
the latest model, the aggressive va
riety, elbowing men out of the way
there is something rather attractive
about them, but they know it too well.
Then your feline women, the mischief
makers, often most attractive. Then
the bovine variety, which males for
peace in the home and a comfortable
sluggishness In the heart OF man

Cigarette Almost Did

How NJ Pouishnoff, the famous
pianist, made his first appearance on
the concert platform makes an anus
ing story.
Although he was then barely five
years old he played beautifully and
he was billed TO give a joint recital
with an adult violinlst.
The latter went on the platform
first and played a solo. Meanwhile
Pouishn0ff. left alone in the artists
room, discovered that his colleague
had left a half-smoked cigarette on
the msntelpiece. The temptation was
too great, and he smoked 1t.
He managed, in a sort Of stupor,

sonata, but at the very last chord he
fell fast asleep, and had to be car.

Every Boy Needs a Dog

Every boy should grow up with d
dog, for the association thereby will
make Of the boy a falrer, kinder, tru-
er man, some day, when he becomes
a man. He will learn to love fair
ness, justice and mercy, just as he
will come to hate meanness, cruelty
and cOwardice through daily contact
with his big-eyed, shaggy-coated, IN
derstanding friend. If the boy I'M
happily is vicious, Incorporate, or de-
structive, he will find in his voiceless
associate a wordless rebuke for the
sins of his commission. 1t is the
inevitable way of a dog with a boy,
and the dog knows, moreover, because
through him the infinite forces of the
universe are functioning as freely as
the wind through winter trees.-Da-
vid Arnold Balch in the New Age Illus.

Grateful to Friend
for Deserved Rebuke

james Slillman. vino for several
years was one Of the Titans Of Wall
street, sat In his Office one day talk
ing with a business man who had
called. when II developed that some
error had been made in StillmaD's
bank. An official was summoned and
Stillman, without moving or raising
his quiet voice, berated the offender
In terms so harsh, with an irony so
coldly insulting. and concluded in such
a savage intensity Of speech, that the
unfortunate man trembled and beads
Of perspiration stood out upon bis
forehead When the culprit had been
dismissed. the Mortified visitor spoke:
"StlIlmaD, | never in all my life
heard anything so outrageous! That
man holds an important position In
the bank and you have insulted him
before a stranger. Why-I shouldn't
be surprised IL he put a katie into
you A man has no right to treat
another so, nor to let himself go like
that The most charitable thing
can think Is that you are on the verge
Of nervous breakdown and that you
have no business to be in your office y
StiIlman heard this outburst In a
white silence, his powerful face a
very mask OF rage. The visitor wait
ed few moments, then picked up his
hat and went out.
Sometime later the visitor received
a card inviting him to a function at
the Stillman home. He and his wife
attended and received a gracious wei
come. To the wife Stillman said:
"Tell your husband from me
won't you?-that owing to something
he said to me, am just back from

Didn't KnouU Him

Margie, aged five, was surprised
when, after her mother read her a
story from a humor column, she told
the little girl the story was about her
self. The story told briefly Of Margie's
interest in birthdays and how on Feb
ruary 90, when her older brother told
her that it was George Washington's
birthday, Margie had asked excitedly:
what did he get?7 And her mother
had insisted that she was the little
girl that made the remark, Margle
