It is one of the curious fads of our poses as possessing universal knowl- edge. NO subject is sacred any longer to thespecialist. We all affect to know everything under the sun, and to have skimmed the cream off every topic. There seems to be a kind of false shame norance, and that makes us attitudinize in the pidiculous role of a bogus savant. Nothing could be more absurd than such a pretense -The province of art, of music, Of literature, of the drama, are so wide that the wisest might well despair, in the short space Of a mere lifetime, of learning even the rudi- ments of one, yet every day we meet knowledge of them. all ”I‘ll talk‘ghbly of hOw they adc1e classical music and ray-e ove1 Paderew- ski, yet go to concerts and. applaud in the wrong places.“ """They discourse about values and fee _ng in pictures, yet don’t know an etching. from a photogravure when. they see one. They rave OVer Old Chelsea and Royal Worcester, yet the Only, way they can tell them from new American China is by the price tag. ,, 1., ,. .. 4‘ They have alwaysread the last new hook, and ._seen the last: interesting thing in the magazines—“that dear what yOu may call it, y that adorable thingumbobby, don’t ._you know?” Their path in life is paved by such mistakes,-. yet they- go serenely on, iut‘t‘ei‘lyl unaware that they have only made their ignorance laughable by Juan t1 ansparent p1 etensions. Of course a thirst for knowledge Is in every way commendable, but inas- much as nobody can know it all, it is hard, to see Why we should have so much he‘stitation in ”Saying _ simply, “I don’t know,” concei niug matteis with which we are unacquainted. The ig- norance of the stupid is tiresome, but the ignorance of the intelligent is the must delightful stimulus to conversa- on. What so entrancing as to be able to describe some bit of scener 1, some his- t01ic spot, to an interested listener, who has never seen it, but whose quick fancy paints the picture is you talk ‘9 Their “I don’t know” is the open treasures of your knowledge. With women this attitude of pretend- ing to know it all is peculiarly foolish. It hasbeen remarked before now that the girl with the artless and inquiring air, who was a good - listener and had few opinions, could marry "seven 1-imes to the clever girl’s once. She never swells the ranks of the girl bachelors. I - A good wife has also been described asa woman who never reminds her husband that she had heard his jokes before and who could maintain an in- ;terested expression while she listened to his twice-told tales. It is human nature. We all like to be the one who has the pleasure of It is subtly flat- tering to our self-love; but alas, in these days how seldom do we get the chance ! We all pretend to have seen and heard it all, and there is no longer anybody left who will listen. Desirable as knowledge undoubtedly is, it is none the less true that there are times and seasons when ignorance is still bliss, and‘amOug our most delightful acquaintances are those who do not know everything. 4% fltryl/ez a/irue. - Feminine Chat. The .confectioners are showing bon hon boxes in the fmm of ca: tridgel. ll ’-... Sometimes we lepeat a fiction so f1 e- quently that it seems like truth even to our selx es. = The veiy volu‘ole individual is cer- tain sooner or later to tell something that had better been 'left unsaid. Flags are in evidence everywhere and on everything, the festive garter buckle being the latest in the patriotic line. There is hardly an invitation you can give a woman that she will accept without the prefacei“but I have noth— ing to wear.” -A woman’s patriotism gets a very severe tug. when her husband gives up a good position to enlist at fourteen per month. A young woman at a suburban sta- tion was heard to remark as she picked up the evening paper: “I don’t believe that there is a Spanish fleet.” And soon the poor dog who is merely 'very warm will be deemed mad and the populace in an uproar over merely an . innocent and thirsty canine.
