Powder Makes the Feminine World Kin One She was going to get off the car a few blocks further on and had a great longing to powder her nose before she alighted so that when she kept her tryst with him she should not present a shiny tip The woman sitting next to her was of the critical sisters who had looked her up and down from boots to bonnet when she entered the car The woman with the shiny nose felt certain if she surreptitiously tried to extract her powder rag from her purse and dabble her tip with it the woman at her side would glare hor ribly But as her street drew near she determined to ripk it anyhow and trust to Providence that a quick dab would accomplish the desired result She dabbed blindly and hurriedly But the woman saw her She could feel the glare turned in her direction Then to her infinite amazement the woman whipped open her reticule and extracted a small mirror This she handed to her neighbor with an un derstanding smile Better take it my dear theres a gob of powder on the left side near your eye The other woman in her gratitude for gave the glare previously administer ed and remembered the good old ad age one touch of powder makes the feminine world kin PUT END TO FROG FARMING Audubons Scheme Might Have Been Good but for One Small Unfore seen Incident There is an amusing story told in connection with the first venture in frog farming ever made in the United States Early in the last century Audubon the great ornithologist went down the Ohio river from Pennsylvania in a little steamer of his own stopping at various points to obtain specimens of little known birds While at Hendersonville Kentucky which he made his home for some time he built a mill and proposed to raise frogs on a large scale preparing for that purpose a pond near the river The frogs multiplied wonderfully and on warm summer evenings it was the practice of Audubon to sit under a tree near the pond listening to the concert given by his stock ard cal culating the amount of money ho should derive from the sale of the grown frogs But one night whn the frogs were nearly grown they heard the booming of bullfrogs in the Ohio Their curios ity was aroused and hopping out of the pond they made their way to the river into which they plunged and disappeared Systematic Writing All busy women know the value of system and every busy woman should systematize her daily tasks In the matter of letter writing many women are great procrastinatcrs They persistently leave important let ters unanswered until the last pos sible moment and then have to write a hurried note often forgetting to take up important subjects for dis cussion The best way to do is to have one day or evening set apart for weekly letter writing One woman reserves Tuesday morning for this purpose and she allows none but the most pressing duties to interfere with her writing While reading a letter she will jot down any particular thing she wants to mention in the reply on the back of the envelope place it in the letter rack on her desk and when Tuesday comes has all the weeks correspond ence ready for answering before her If during the interim of the receipt and answering of a letter she thinks of any point she wished discussed that too is noted on the envelope With this system letter writing is a real pleasure one that is looked for ward to every week with keen inter est The Mystery An old lady was going over the zoo and after some time she went up to a keeper and tapped him on the shoul der with her umbrella Well mum said the keeper I want to ask you explained the old lady which of the animals in the zoo you consider the most remarkable The keeper scratched his head for a while Then Well mum he replied after j careful consideration as you might J say Ive come to the conclusion as the biscuit goes to the laughing hy ena Indeed said the old lady in surprise and why do you consider the laughing hyena so remarkable Well mum answered the zoological expert he only has a sleep once a week He only has a meal once a year So what hes got to laugh about is a bloomin mystery to me Then There Was Trouble There was an old Scotchman in Glasgow who was moving from one house to another on the same street Being of an economical turn of mind he had moved his bits of furniture on the wheelbarrow himself The last thing left for him to carry was one of those old grand fathers clocks It was rather heavy and awkward to handle As he tod dled up the street to his new home with grandfathers clock over his shoulder he met a friendly Scot who had been imbibing Tak ma advice said the Intemperate buy yersel a i watch REQUIRES CHANGE AND REST Average Woman Unable to Be Happy Among Surroundings That Have Become Monotonous A certain woman was restless She was worn out but it was not with physical work Her husband was wiser perhaps than most husbands He did not send her to the top of a mountain where she was the only in habitant He sent her to resort where there were many new people with new personalities and new topics of interest She needed contact with the world more than she needed a cool climate Frequently men who brush elbows with a dozen persons each day do not appreciate the solitude of their wives Sometimes when a man needs as a rert to get away from miscel laneous lanity contact is just what is needeu by his wife Frequently even if she has enough feminine so ciety sheMacks the society of men Perhaps her husband cover really converses or is abre to converse with her A man hidden behind his news paper at the breakfast table is not a creation of the comic paper he is a too frequent fact Too often hia wife does not interest him because the sphere which is imposed upon lsir is too limited Yet vhs may have been co confined to her own tho3hs all day that she feels she will go crazy if she does not have some one to tail sincerely with 01s some other humrn excitement Birds often divide the care of the young and when the fe male leaves the nest ii is sometimes merely for change and rest There are some who believe the French woman is more content than the av erage woman in other countries be- Of Course There Are Other Reasons but These Are the Ideas cf the Suffragette Lady Why does a ma like a dog re sponded the suffragette lady fierce ly and repeated Why does a man like a dog Well there are numerous reasons though a deg is not a reason ing being A dog will lick the hand that beats it a dog will eat a crust and a bane and blecs the giver a deg 1 thinks whatever a man does is right j and proper a acg lias no rignts mat a man is bound to respect a dog asks no embarrassing questions a dog is always grateful no matter for what r tier fo not ask the man to stay at Lome Jii a deg is satisfied to love the man whether the man loves the dot or noL a dog submits to any and all impositions witrout protest a dog does not consider itself a mans equal a dog lets a man have his ovn way a dog doesnt want to vote a dog is just as glad to see a man when he gets in at three oclock in the morn ing almost helpless as if he hadnt gone out at all a dog has no mother in sight and a dog cant talk back cant talk back mind you nor wont talk back That is why a man likes a dog Children on the Streets It has been proven beyond all possi bility of contradiction that the great est percentage of boys and girls who are brought before the courts for de liquency owe their waywardness to the education they have received on the streets at night The school of the streets is a bad one in which to receive an education It is one of the factors that must be carefully guard ed The remedy must be keeping the children off the streets at night or to make the streets fit places for chil dren It is almost impossible to do the latter It is possible to do the former The city streets are public property Any one is entitled to walk he streets provided they do not vio late any statutory ordinance in doing 50 The city authorities have no pow r to intervene The moral character jf the pedestal counts for nothing The parent of the child has authority to keep the youngster at home and he wise parent will exercise this au thority Memphis Commercial-Appeal Charming Old Boy Probably nothing in the world is as wholesome as seeing an old man think ing himself young Truly a man is only as old as he thinks Sometimes though this tendency amounts to- al most a
