THE graceful game of archery is said once in a while if you run a mild eye over the fashion books to be revived! "Um well," sniggers Dan Cupid, and pulls his Napoleonic lock. "I never knew it had died for even a aingle day! Since the atone age, when there were stony-hearted girls, whose descendants are running fancy-free to this day, scarred of heart but never once pierced full and fair, it's been played at from both nubbins of the earth, to his sash, and round about, without stay." Dan plucked his string and loosed, and the arrow sang and struck. A jolly little flirty face peered over a much-peppered target whereon the red heart bloomed, unmarred, and crowed aloud "Never Touched Mel" NELL BRINKLEY.

Three trustees wiK be elected. By DOROTHY DIX. Why do women take offense so much more easily than men? There is no nse, my sisters, in raising an in dignant howl of protest and saying that they don't We all know that they do and that every woman bristles with feelings as a porcupine does with quills. You cannot deal with a woman as you can with a man; you cannot talk to a woman as you can to a man, and on your life you dare not tell - a woman the truth as you would a man. she always has to be bandied with kid gloves, because, as the homely old phrase goes, she takes offense where none was intended. The most curious and abnormal il lustration of this is to be found in the fact that if you tell a woman that something is wrong with her costume, ninety-nine times out of a hundred she sees a deadly insult in your kindly meant attention and gives you a bale ful glare that teaches you to let all future women go around with their plackets gaping or their shirt waists unbuttoned if they happen that way. Only recently a woman friend of mine whose philanthropy no amount of experience can ever entirely squelch, was walking up the street be hind a ladv who had neglected m making her toilette to hook her skirt belt and was, consequence tnereot, in imminent danger of losing an impor tant part of her attire. Said my friend, with a winning smile: "Pardon me, madam, but your skirt is uniasiencu m ine dsck ana is sooui to dron. baid the other woman, with a took that brought the temperature down to zero in mat rmmeauwe vicinny: I don t see that mars any business of votsrs." . Which proposition closed the in cident This is by no means, an isolated case. Nearly every woman has had something similar happen to her when she ventured to tell a sister woman that something was awry with her attire. As for calling a woman's at tention to having gotten her false hair on crooked, or her figure on hind part before, or that she had hit tne rouge box too liberally, or had located her eyebrows in the wrong place, nobody who wasn't a candidate for martyr dom and heavily insured.for the bene fit of her family would dream of com mitting such a foolhardy act In contradistinction to this, im agine the fervor of gratitude that would be a man s i hank you, old chap," if some good-hearted brother would call Ins attention to the tact that he had gotten on his clothes in a way that made him a figure of fun, or that some unperceived accident had happened to his attire. If in a jam in a store or on the cars or at the theater you unintentionally jostle a woman she adopts the attitude of accusing you of having done it on purpose and with malice aforethought As for attempting to apologize, it is a waste of bteatb. The offended one turns upon you with a look that says as ptairiry as print, "I knew that you did ft on purpose and that you have jast been waking for this opportunity to step on my skirt or bump my hat. If you hadn't why didn't you tear that other woman'j dress -or smash her hat oatofshaocf Ob, I know your mean. low-down motives ia crowding me.j Yon can't fool me." ' -- i Women also show a diabolical in genuity m discovering personal insults m general statements. It, tor in stance, in a mixed company of women you should incautiously make the statement that red hah- indicated temper every auburn-locked lady in the room would tump on you with the announcement that she guessed she was just about as amiable and as easy to get along with as some people she could mention, if she would, that had black hair or brown. The great foe to all women's or ganizations has been this talent that women have for taking offense where none was intended, and when anything was said that tney cottM possibly con strue into any sort of a ermctsm on themselves, their families or their housekeeping, getting up and taking their doll rags and going home. HappDy, this is not as bad as it used to be, and the great mission of the wo men s clubs has been to teach women to look at things from a broader standpoint that the purely personal. When woman got so that she could have her resolution voted down with' out regarding every other woman who opposed her as a mortal enemy it marked a milestone in the progress of the sex. Women's ptoneness to take undue offense is one of the chief stumbling blocks that she finds in business. Busy business men, harried and worn, have no time to soothe down the sensibili ties of a creature who is 80 per cent teelmgs and a) per cent nerves, and that is a conclusive reason why the office boy is more apt to go up the ladder of success than the office girL There are few women who can listen to a criticism of their work witnout constoermg it a deadly in sult, no matter how bad the work n, and. this being true, and an employer not wishing to be put m the tight of insulting a woman, hods it easier and pleasanter to dismiss a girl rather than point out to her the mistakes she makes, thus depriving the girl of the chance of correcting her shortcomings and learning to do her work prooerly. But you might multiply instances endlessly to prove the touchiness of women. Why is this? Why does the sex go about with a chin on its shout derf Is it constrtutionai? Is it sensitiveness? Or .is it a lack of the sense of humor? Women's Work In Athletics Mrs. I D. Dalton of Warsaw.
