It is no longer proper for a lady to burst into tears when she is discharging her cook, or securing a divorce. * When you come home late at night and your wife meets you at the head of the stairs, she no longer bursts into a flood of tears and sobs herself to sleep, while you are endeavoring to extricate your silk hat from the chandelier. When you go to the theatre, where the heroine has not succeeded in lifting the mortgage from the farm, and there is no bread in the house, you no longer dampen your tariff-ridden handkerchief by lachrymose outpourings, but, sternly repressing your emotions, you talk, between the acts, with your friend about the latest movement in philosophical circles. It is a great pity! If all of the world could have a good cry at least once a day, think how much its present almost universally feminine temperament could be relieved! Life and Books Life is language, and books only the dictionaries; men are the text, books only the commentaries. Books are only good as a filter for actual experiences. A man must have a rich and varied ex- perience of men and women before he can use books to advantage. Life is varied, men and women many, while the individual life is short; wise men read books therefore to enrich their experi- ence, not merely as the pedant does, to garner facts.—From Price Collier's “ Ger.
