QOMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE .
OF THEM. -
.————&-
I'heard a .woman apply the word
‘Vampire” to a friend who has many of,
the graces of womanhood and one seri-
ous defect which overbalances them
all.
She whines from morning till night,
andnever runs out of subjects to whine
about. She has one of the best hus-
bands in the ‘world and two pretty
children, and they 'are' very glad to
get awayirom home and its presiding
genius as often as they can find excuses
for. doing flso. - -
The many graces won the husband.
and the one serious defect lS slowly but
surely killing all the affection he ever
had for her.
“This constant whining has been the
cause of the frequent change. of girls in
‘ th‘ezkitchen and the gradual dropping

fiiglrt it should be.
On one or two occasions in the last
“year he has remained away from din-

then Iretu1ned in a state that called

" Weill, you can hardly blame the poor
man for dulling his senses. I wonder
he does not do it oftener. I believe
complaining and nagging is responsi-
ble for‘more wrecked homes than any
other thing, and the worst of it is the
poor women‘seem to have no real clear
conception of the matter.
Invariabl-y» they will aver that they
are blameless in the matter, that they
have been good and faithful wives and
do not merit the unhappiness which
has come to them. I have in mind a
woman whose sad face and rapidly
whitening hair bear testimony to the
grief which she is bearing.
When she first questioned him on his
strange behavior he frankly told her
that her nagging had killed his love
and he only asked to be left alone.
She solemnly declares that she never
nagged, that she has always been kind
and patient with him, yet her face
belies the statement. Nagging is
written all over it.
She believes that he would be glad to
be free from her, but refuses to take
.the steps which would separate them
in form as they are in reality because
she is always hoping that some change
will come to him. He has promised to
goto her and tell her if that time ever
comes.
She does not nag him now because of
the wall he has built between them,
and I am very much afraid that she
will never live to see the day when the
,. neSults of her folly W111 not pursue her.
And the man? Well, his life can
hardly be said to be happy, although it
11's peaceful. He is not the genial, pop-
ular man who used to reckon friends by
the score, but has become taciturn,
reckless and hard tO please. His
friends. with one or two exceptions,
have dropped away from him, realizing
that some change has come over him
and not in the least understanding it.
They do not even care to know any-
thing about it, but leave him in peace
and, seek pleasanter society. Vampire?
Well, if the woman who wrecked her
own and her husband’s happiness is
notahat deadly thing, who is?

Feminine Chat.
The trained gown is the surest evi-
dence of this year’s mode.
We generally ask advice that it may
confirm our own opinions.
The most dangerous dirt is the one
who really thinks he or she is in love.
He that does good for good’s sake
seeks neither praise nor reward,
though, sure of both at last.
We live in an age of facts, not fiction;
for every effect is assigned some simple
and natural cause.
There are many more fools than
Isages; and among the sages there is
more folly than wisdom.
It is generally the man Who is striv-
ing to do right who is amazed at the
opportunities to do wroug.
The man who howls at the passing
of the hat in church will pay a big
hotel bill with a smile on his face.
Take a woman friend along when
you are having a gown fitted if you
want to have a candid opinion on the
subject.
The woman who can wear a white
duck frock two days without its simply
saying “I am six days old” is a wonder.
A fortune teller, if she strikes any-.
where near the truth, can raise a wom-
an to either the seventh heaven or the
depths of despair.
It is so complimentary to a woman to
have. a man pretend you are the most
cha1ming of women, and then when
cornered have to confess he doesn’t
know your name.
The love of the best woman in the
world can be tu1 ncd to hate so eaSIly
if the man in question acts as though
he weie bored by it.
The c1eed of the average summer re-
sorter varies somewhat according to
conditions and temperament, but as a
rule it amounts to this: To appear to
be that which I am not and not to ap-
pear to be that which I actually am.
