MMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN, BY ONE
OF THEM.
Why will people persist in calling
womankind the weaker sex, when we
nilknowshe is anything‘but weak?,
We Object to it on general prinCiples.
In a test of physical Strength, of
course, she must submit to the uncomy
ph'mentary adjective, but it is Only in
this particular instance. .
When it comes to endurance she will
carry ed the blue ribbon ever y time.
It maybe the triumph of mind over ,-
.with the Stars and Stripes. This, how-
matter, but what of that? It isthe
Result-we are talking about.
What man could endure With any
degree of fortitude all a woman has to

I Raid; Si‘cknessand trials Seem to be
woman ’sheritage, but; she hears them
withV'patieuIce and becomes Sb a‘ccus-
‘Izomed tobeing uncomfortable, and mis-
érable that she works on performing
her regular duties. while a man in a.
similar condition would .30 to bed and
send for the dQQIto1.
Perhapsslie is better able to bear
pain and distress than he. An old
.floctoronce said in our hearing: “A
man simply could not endure it,” and
they the Stronger sex, too. What will
awom'an not undertake for her needy

Nothing appears insurmountable when
she makés. up’herI mind to attempt it.
A_ weak mind” will succumb under
difficulties, even imaginary. ones, and
give up before an eflEOrt is made to
overcome them, but the average woman
is not built that way. When she

Success comes not ; from physical
strength, but from concentrated. effort,
mseverance conquering the majority
nfobstacles.
Ifmaiiy menbad to contend with a
woman’s trials and discouragements in
with failure more Often than she.
In many oOcupations woman has
~itVztken up she is only a pioneer, blazing
the way for her sisters tofollow.
She must run the gauntlet of criti-
ceism, adverse usually, and when she
finally secures a sure footing, as she
undoubtedly will in time, she can look
back with equanimity on her early
muggles for recognition. 4
She objects to being called weak,
when she has fought her way upward
until she stands side by side with man
in ability, if not in remuneration.
Think of the heroism of many women,
their patient endurance in times of
disastelu sickness and financial difficul-
ties. She is the first to recover from
{the blow which has fallen and to make
the best of the situation.
She bravely straightens the tangled
threads, nurses the wounds and
infightens up the gloom with her
cheery, helpful endeavors to bring
Rude-r out of chaos, this so called weak
woman.
She does not take to drink to drown
her. woes. She leaves that part to the
stronger sex, her lord, master and pro-
rcctor ( 1’ ). -

Very few women would carl y pocket-
books if they couldn’t put anything but
money into them. .
Why' is it when a woman has broad
ideas and freedom Of expression that
men say she thinks as a man?
In gmany houses comfort of the
inmates is a secondary consideration
to the preservation and care of the
furniture. .
It is Odd that so few people substitute
airi'pillows for feather ones when they
are wondering what they can do to keep
cool.
The old saying that time is money
can be transposed and a more truthful
one substituted: “Money 1s time—good
time. 1 ,
-- Tradition is stronger than common
sense any day. Why will people swelter
in beds who could lie comfortably in
hammocks?
There are no feminine angels pictur-
ed, in heaven by great artists, for the
reason in all probability that they
think all of them are on earth.
The newest drink is a combination of
cordials, in red, white and blue colors.
It does not follow that you will see

Paprica is very little used by the
massies, which is 0d d as it makes all 1n-
digestible dishes digestible, as well as
adding to their delicious flavor.
