“YOUR SHOES NEED BLACKING, MR. SILHOVETTE.” HE more a man loves, the more he is bound to suffer. he great artist is the one who knows how to simplify. What we do not understand, we have no right to judge. Constant exertion is what characteri. modern morality he conscientious critic should first begin by criticism of himself. Intellect is essentially aristocratic; charity is essentially democratic. Thought without action is an evil, and so is action without thought. He who is willing to act only upon strictly scien- tific principles is unfitted for practical life. A beautiful work is beautiful through a kind of truth that is truer than any enumeration of un- questioned facts. ‘The country, during the rain, resembles a face with tears upon it—not perhaps so beautiful, but even more expressive. Women are at once the sex which is the most faithful and still the most fickle—most faithful morally, and most fickle socially. In every loving woman there exists a priestess of the past, a loyal keeper of some affection for which the motive has disappeared. Love must always remain alluring and fasci- nating if the sway of woman is to last. As soon as the mystery is gone the attraction disappears. Women wish to be loved without any reason why—not because they are pretty or good or well- bred or graceful or clever, but just because they are themselves. Want of beauty in a woman, because it is un- , natural, is as hateful as a gash, a discord, a spot of ink—in fact, as anything that is contrary to order. On the other hand, beauty refreshes and strengthens one like some miraculous food. As soon as a man or a people or a literature or a period becomes feminine in type, it declines in prestige and in power. As soon asa woman leaves that state of subordination in which her natural merits have full play we see a speedy increase in her natural faults. Complete equality with man makes her contentious. A position of supremacy makes her tyrannical. For a long time the best solution will be found in honoring her and at the same time in controlling her.—Scrap Book. ‘Ss our ER husband left her a fortune on condition that she shouldn’t marry again, and you y isn’t satisfied ?”” “No. She can’t make out whether it means jealousy or revenge.”—Detroit Free Press.
