COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
The idea of advanced womanhood
which dominates every theory and
many individual practices these fin de
Siecle days may, when all goes well,
appear to be a strong rod on which to
lean, a very essential mental staff on
which femininity plumes itself, and, if
the truth be told, gives itself little airs
of equality with man very soul-satisfy-
ing until something occurs which
causes the woman to long for a little
genuine petting and being made much
of in the same fond,foolish fashion prev-
alent before the question of woman’s
rights came up for discussion and pos-
session.
It does not matter that a woman can
write and deliver a brilliant oration on
abtruse topics, the very intellectual
calibre of which makes her forget to
curl her bangs, wear broad-soled boots
and don glasses.
Let her fall ill or lose some one near
and dear to her, meet with a great
disappointment or be called upon to
bear some rampant injustice—then is
the time that she forgets all about her
progress toward those intellectual
heights to which she has set her foot~
steps in an earnest, honest endeavor to
be so strong and robust in her own
independence.
The little caressing gesture that
places a wrap over her shoulders
counts far more than the diploma she
received at the school of philosophy.
The tender thought that prompts a
kindly action, the assumption of
authority on the part of one of the very
beings of the opposite sex, now delights
her where once they galled her, and
after all she discovers that she is only
a very womanly woman, glad to be de-
pendent on a strong arm and happy to
sink her individuality in that of a gentle,
yet masterful creature who all at once
sinks the equal in the “lord,” and she
is glad of the transformation.

A
Feminine Chat.
The young man who plays the banjo
is the summer hero.
The porch is not so popular as the
open fire.
A man can easily be surfeited with
affection from the wrong woman.
Some very exquisite paper lamp
shades are being used in lieu of silk
ones.
Until one feels ill they never realize
how perfectly dependent on others
they are.
Until one has to work when they are
ill they never realize how truly de-
lightful it would be to be rich.
It is quite the latest fad for well-to
do young bachelors to set up house~
keeping with a Chinese cook and man
servant.
The novelty purses have become so
cheap and so numerous that a new and
more exclusive style is bound to fol-
low.
The woman who ties ribbon into the
handle bars of her bicycle is the same
type of feminine who puts a gay little
bow on her whip. '
When a man can size up a woman’s
raiment as a “faded foulard” you can
rest aesured he knows whether you use
a white pln to fasten a black gown.
Until one lives in the heart of town
they never realize how suddenly popu-
lar they become with people who are
averse to long trolley rides even in th
cause of friendship. »
Don’t growl if you have an accident
to your bicycle six blocks away from
home. It might have happened when
you were that many miles distant, and
the walk would have been that much
more fatiguing.

unique in the annals of amusement,
and without an equal in all the broad
field of theatricaldom. This season

dusky-hued exponents of comedy'and
music, in a programme of rare excel-
lence, comprising an original musical
