EOMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
No, really, at the risk of being un-
grateful, I must voice the conviction
that too much has been said and writ-
ten already about how to converse.
"We are given too many rules.
There was a young man once who
Iliad. a quick mind and a merry heart,
together with a tongue which—in his
mly years, at least—was not apt to err
III-om want of fluency.
He talked too much, indeed: still, he
heard himself voted amusing and
bright, and he got asked to help enter-
tain people, being likewise sharp
enough to see that his presence had
Hemeeeded because he had enough
selfgonfidepge; to escape self-conscious.
Dress. Bresentlyabosom friend—from
the best ofr' motives—conceived it a
duty. to “take him down. ”
Gently, but firmly, it was revealed to
.mmthat he was no longer young, that
be maelil‘eemning‘ a .fogy, that he‘ha'd
nobumessitoassume that he was in-
teresting to everyone, and that he
ought not to blind himself to the fact
that young folks of bothisexes cOn‘sid4
cred him a bore.
Hewrts- young-hearted enough never
no have seen things in this light, es-
with}, as the boys and debutantes
and their little doings interested him
hugely. ,
. . i ‘,
So he got a Shock. His easy confi-
deuce was broken, his manner became
awkward, brusque, uncertain.
He developed a “touchiness” foreign
to his friendly nature, and instead of
sheeting anyone with a feeling of kind
and. pleasant anticipltion grew morbid—
incy himself everywhere “de trop. ”
Perhaps common sense came to his
rescue, and the balance of his mind re-
adiusted itself after a while between
the two extremes. I hope so, but I am
quite sure that-a rather overconfident
individmil is much pleasanter 'to meet
than one-who is. self--conscious through
self-depreciation.

One year in some lives is equivalent

The way a woman wears her veil is
She surest indication of her style.
The embarrassment due to the lack.
ofnnoney can completely change a
whole nature.
A woman always knows when she is
nearing the last note in the symphony
oil a man’s affection.
Why is it some days the rooms in our
homethat we think the prettiest look
so distressingly shabby ‘?

Down for the summer smile in superior
minim-t such days as yesterday.
If we were only as happy as we pre-
tend to be there would be no heart-
aches or pillows wet with midnight
tears.
The man who is the most gentle and
“sender in the development of a love
afiair can be the most brutal in break
mg it off.
A great scirow will cause a woman
uplie wide-eyed and wakeful, while a
man can sleep, ay, even snore, on such
mansions.
Don’t judge a woman too harshly
who talks to her servants; she may be
so lonely that even such companion-
ship is welcome.
The prettiest home can be made to
«tank like an ordinary tenement if the
fies are permitted to swarm within its
greetncts. .

will retain his affection much longer
than she who goes in for self-sacrifice.
There are some dispositions that de-
spise the calm of continued good tem-
per, and enjoy provoking a quarrel
just for the excitement that It entails.
Some men are such faddists that
ev'en:unknown to themselves they dally
with emotions just as they would with
stamp collecting or butterfly classifica-
tion.
How many of us who call on physic-
ians know them to be all at sea in thei1
diagnosis because we haven’t been
frank enough to tell them that it is
mental Iather than bodily ills we a1e
combating.
Is there anything more trying than
to lose a train by the merest hairs-
breadth? To know that it left ten
minutes before is sufficiently harrowmg
but to be so near and lose it is the
meanest sensation of all.

Isaac BOWe who~is visiting in town
is to-day displaying an ostrich egg
which he secured from an Ost1ich
fax me1 at Central Pa1k one day last
week. He brought the egg to this
city where he had it “ ‘blowed” and the
shell ornamented with hand-painted
violets and apple blossoms. The meat
of the fruit was cooked. and fed to
“Hen” Cornell’s chickens, the same
being of too high a flavor as an edible

Selectmen Alexander and Turner,
Danbury, were in t0wn this mOrning.
They stopped over long enough to
Merrill and Lynes, after which they
boarded a trolley car for-Bridgeport.
A sort of business-pleasure trip as it
There ’were those here who
recognized Mr. Alexander as having
been in charge of the jail' when they
visited that institution by virtue ofa
commitment paper. There is yet the
man to say that “Tom” Alexander did
not make a good jailer. The same is
no doubt true of the present incum-

can most emphatically endorse Vinol.
Vinol acts {1110121ny upon the digestive
Organs, enabling them to obtain p1oper

‘as a tonic reconstructor.
Vinol
is a delicate, mild table wine, in which
has been dissolved the active medicinal
principles that abound in the cod’s liver,
separated from the oil, whose disagree-

closely associated with any remedy of this

Vinol is positively delicious to take.

pany’s holdings of real estate and have verified the deposits of money in the various banks and trust companies, and
have counted the cash on hand held by the Cashier.
-And the Committee certify that all the books, papers, documents, and evidence of title of every description neces-
sary in such examination have been freely submitted to the Committee by the said officers and their assistants, and that
the same are accurate, in good order, and well kept.
And the Committee further certify that the investments of the Company are of a high order, and that the system
and methods adopted‘ oy the Company In recording its transactions and caring for the assets are entitled to commendation,
