COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG THE WOMEN. BY ONE OF THEM.‘ Have you the power to see the funny side, or is your mental window made of dark glass? Are you quick to take im- pressions, and therefore more ready to be affected by the latest one than to brood over one forgone? What a deal of nature one can read. in the homely walks of life. If only his eyes, his mind’s eyes, of course, I mean, are on others, not himself. ‘ Suppose, for instance, you miss a train. Does it'turn the world upside down for you, or do you simply look up the next, send a telegram if necessary, or even if the catching of that train was necessary, having registered a men- tal vow not to be late again, can you dismiss the annoyance? To some of us, and they are the bles- sed, every new phase of life is instantly considered as a condition that will pass and leave us richer and probably hap- pier for the experience. There are people who have beenlost for the hour in foreign cities unable to find a friend- ly soul who could speak their tongue, and literally at thé mercy of chance. _ Some of them have been fretted by the incident. Some only pleased for with the latter was the obiding knowl— edge that it would pass, be a memory and that under all circumstances it was funny. To be alone at night without a cent Is" that really funny at any time? one asks, and the answer is yes. To the self-reliant it gives a sud- den realization that he must strike out and swim if he must not sink, and if the situation be unusual it is more than probable that it will be attended by circumstances that are humorous, if only we, the chief actors in the little episode, can See the funny side of the thing. The funny side, or the grotesque ele- ment, the feature that appeals to our risibles, is present in almost every act of life that does not reach up to the grand or down to the sorrowful, and it is the saving quality in life to thous- ands of us. ' Take, for instance, an occurrence 'of last week. Behold a family gathering, all hungry, all gathered around the board, all awaiting dinner, and the dinner about two-thirds spoiled by the mistaken and lavish use of sugar in the kitchen, instead of salt. To those of the party who could laugh, the matter was trivial. -They ate that which was least hurt, made up on bread and impromptu dishes and were ready for new impressions after‘ To the others that ‘meal was a cause. of discomfort almost great enough to cause illness. They starved, fretted and fussed, even scolding at the lucky laughers, and could see nothing, funny in the fact that sugar, one of the sweets of life, was suddenly, by being mis' placed, changed ihto gall and worm- WOQd. ‘ ‘ J The power to laugh is a rare thing with mostébf us. Now and then we will see a radiant smile or hear a rippl- ing laugh that makes us turn our heads and look and listen as though hungry for some of that, to us, forgotten joy of life. - What greater blessing in a house than the child who laughs, the gay baby voice that wells up like vocal sun- shine at the dancing of a sunbeam, at the unexpected, even undesired, falling down of the block house. Why forget to laugh because we have gone from long to short, and from short to long clothes again? Laughter is as a mental digest. The man or woman with the merry lines that come from much smiling has no dyspectic views of life whether the real facts of their life be hard or easy. ' g @azydl‘ea 0/ g”. Feminine Chat. Thewoman who is fortunate enough to get a natural feather for her hat this fall is doing well. Who is the sleepy person that sup- poses that'we can have ground hog for breakfast in February? Even the greatest coward may become so indifferent through real heart sor- rows that she will forget to be afraid. There is a great similarity between I the smell of cooking and a cigar—each 1s inviting while fresh, but vile when stale. i in his turn to believe that the world will treat him more kindly than it did his predecessor. One must be in a house alone to dis- cover how much friendliness there is stored away in the seemingly unsym- pathetic works of a clock. We all know that definite decision is less terrible than suspense, but it took genius to put it in words: “Hope defer- red maketh the heart sick.” There is no more certain cause for future contention than to take into your house, “just to use until wanted,” furniture that belongs to another. The Chinese custom of using a rice paper handkerchief but once and then destroying it is. surely far in advance of our unsanitary arrangement in the matter. I That “possession is nine-tenths of the law” is so strong a connection with most of us that it amounts to instinct, but it is a perversion; witness the baby who has hold of your hair. The best description of an “all-round man” is the fellow who buys the stock for the country store, where you can buy a loaf of bread, a bottle of ink, a ribbon, a nail and get your mail. Don’t forget to have the house light- ed and to be dressed yourself at the hour when the bread-winners of the family are expected to return each night. It means more than the stay-at- home knows. Of all will-o’-the-wisp reforms that which promises to supply woman with the necessary number of pockets is most illusive. She still carries as many “things” in her hands as” does a waiter . dishes on his arm, but with far less skill. The result of this new fad, if wheel- ing may be called a fad, has closed nearly every billiard parlor in town. Not one of them is now in successful operation Professional Card. , ADIES’ NURSE.
