WORDS ABOUT WOMEN. What Men In Many Centuries Have Said About Us. If Cleopatra's nose had. been shorter the face of the world would have been changed. Pascal. Women are undecipherable. Whether, Wheth-er, they laugh or cry. ones explanation is never right. T. Bentzon. Their glory is to be least spoken of among men, whether for praise or blame. Pericles. Men and women never agree as to the merits of another woman. La Bruyere. Natural beauty is not everything. There is an art in being pretty. Ludo-vic Ludo-vic Halevy. A person in -whom the perfections of both mind and body are found together to-gether alone deserves in my judgment the praise of perfect beauty. Poly-stratus. A woman's face ought to be like an April day susceptible of change and variety. Lord Byron. Laughter Is the test of beauty. Women Wo-men that it embellishes are of the divine di-vine race Rougon. There is an old saying that in England Eng-land the wife is the queen, in France the companion, in Germany the housekeeper, house-keeper, in Italy the slave. London Outlook. The symbol of woman in general is that of the Apocalypse on the forehead fore-head of which was written "Mystery." Diderot. Is there any one with whom yiu converse con-verse lees than with your wife? Xen-ophon. v PHOTOGRAPHING BABY. Don't Curl His Hair or Dress Him in an Unnatural Way. It is a mistake to curl or dress a child's hair in some fashion different from that employed every day, as it will make the picture seem unnatural. This same idea applies to clothes worn. If a child Is in the habit of being dressed in very fancy clothes, well and good, but if only its best clothes are ruffled and betrimmed the mother must decide whether she prefers a good picture pic-ture of the child or one of the clothes. Sometimes the best photographs are secured by leaving the baby entirely to the photographer's care. He will often understand, by reason of his- larger experience, ex-perience, just how to secure a baby's attention and to catch Just the right expression on the little face. Often this Is impossible if he Is interfered in-terfered with by numerous loving aunts and grandparents, in addition to the mother. The Madonna pose of mother and child may be made very pretty and artistic, ar-tistic, but the . mother should always be careful to wear something pretty and soft and white to get the real artistic ar-tistic effects of such a pose. When a child is first able to stand alone a very pretty pose is to get him to stand on a chair of the open wicker variety and allow him to .lean over the back, with his arms resting on the back of the chair. Little baby hands are so often outstretched out-stretched for various articles that a very pretty picture is the result If baby, when in position, is induced to stretch forth his little right hand naturally by holding out to him some pleasing: object. ob-ject. Unreasonable. Not long ago in a western market town I chanced to observe an Irishman Irish-man with a live turkey under his arm. The turkey was squawking and gobbling gob-bling in a distressed way, a racket to which the Irishman did not at first pay particular notice. Finally, however, how-ever, the disturbance got on the Celt's nerves. Gtvlng the bird a poke in the side, he exclaimed: "Be-quiet! What's the matther wid ye, anyhow! Why should ye want to walk whin I'm willin' to carry ye?" Harper's Monthly. Why Foreigners Attract. Despite the experience of American girls who have married foreigners, there is still the same desire in the hearts of wealthy young women, fostered fos-tered by ambitious mammas, possibly, to a great extent, that the money they have will give them the only thing they cannot buy in America a title. This, at any rate, is the usual way of looking at the matter from the standpoint stand-point of other Americans. The girls themselves, however, no doubt see in the foreign gentlemen something that an American man seldom attains a culture born of leisure, that to the romantic ro-mantic is as attractive as the inherited estate. The busy men of her acquaintance acquain-tance at home give too much thought to the problem of money to suit her, and she falls back for amusement to the man with plenty of time and that something of grace that his life makes possible. He knows art, music; loves sport for itself, and politics, not seem-inc-lv for a.nv interest he mnv have rn it as a valuable asset. Then, after '' marriage, when he wishes to spend her money with the same graceful freedom and disregard of consequences that so much attracted her, she is obliged to call a halt, and bitterness follows. The American girl is more in sympathy with the European ideal of culture and refinement that makes money only a means to an end than her brother, but there must consequently be much un-happmess un-happmess until either the titled foreigner for-eigner is educated down to our financial finan-cial standards, or the American girl becomes completely independent of them. 30,000 at Services for the Dead. At the Cote des Nelges cemetery. Montreal. Sunday, the annual gathering gather-ing for the services for the dead took place. His grace Archbishop Bfuche-si. Bfuche-si. and Bishop Racicot were present. It was a magnificent sight to Bee this Immense concourse stretching away as far as the eye could reach, and listening lis-tening with rapt attention to catch the words of the speakers, who. clad in their penitential-looking, though picturesque, habits of St. Dominic and St. Francis, produced no small impression impres-sion upon the multitude. They carried the mind back to the days when their holy founders St. Dominic and St. Francis, worked side' by sid in the vineyard of the Lord, and stirred up souls to penance and to love of one another as no two saints had done before. be-fore. Greatest Charms. A woman's sweetness and gentleness are her greatest charms and her strongest weapons. To be hard and bitter and cynical is to lose all lov-ablenesa lov-ablenesa Home Chat i WIVES IN KOREA. A Humorist Who Draws a Moral From Their Silence. It Is said that in Korea after a native na-tive woman is wedded she becomes practically speechless, says Newton Newkirk in the Boston Post. This is in conformity to custom and caste. A Korean wife does not after marriage become absolutely mute, but she does not speak unless necessity demands it. And ,by the way, if none of us talked any more than necessity demanded this world would be full of large chunks of silence. The Korean wife does not chatter like a parrakeet. Hot air is something in which she does not deal. Of course If the house got on fire she would mention it, or if she were to step on a snake, she wouldn't try to keep the fact a secret, but she does- not talk over the back fence when she is bringing bring-ing in the wash or converse with her neighbor when she is washing the windows. win-dows. If she did. she would lose her caste and her social rating would slump faster than a copper stock. Probably many a brutal husband who reads these lines will sigh and say, "Ah, that my wife were a Korean!" There has an Impresison got abroad in this land of the free and the home of the grafter that our women are endless end-less and tiresome talkers. In the eyes of the masses the American wife holds the long distance record as a continuous continu-ous conversationalist. And upon this impression jests and jokelets are freely built. The eternally talking wife is a prolific source of inspiration for comic weeklies and the vaudeville stage. Two comedians come down front and, with their noses touching each other, engage in a rapid fire conversation. "I got a talking machine down to my house!" "Oh. you got a talking machine down to your house! How much did you pay for it?" "I didn't pay nothing for it I married mar-ried it!" (Shrieks of laughter from the large and select audience.) But if the wife is voluble of speech, is her husband a sphinx? If a woman is a human phonograph, is a man a clam? Not exactly not so that you could notice it from the road through the binoculars. Most of the husbands who like to joke about the wagging tongues of their wives are living expounders ex-pounders of the hot air theory. They are the chaps who have nothing to say and devote, most of their time to saying say-ing it; they are full of persiflage, verbosity ver-bosity and prunes. When they open their mouths their tongues run away with them. Stand one of these tiresome tire-some expounders of the obvious up beside be-side a talking machine and he will make it sound like a whisper. Man, as he averages up, Is full of bluff, brag and bluster, and that's worse than you can say of the average woman. Greek Bishop Arrives. Bishop Soter, the first Greek Catholic Cath-olic bishop appointed by the pope for America, arrived in New York City on the 27th of August, and was received re-ceived by a large and enthusiastic delegation del-egation of the Greek clergy and laity. Bishop Soter, whose name in the world is Stephen Ortynski, was consecrated Bishop of Daulia (an ancient Greek see) on May 12th last in the Greek Cathedral of St. George the Martyr, at Lemberg. Galicia, Austria. Bishop Soter will have charge of all the Ru-thenlans Ru-thenlans and Slavic peoples of the Greek Catholic rite in the United States who have hitherto lacked the ministrations of a bishop of their own rite. The Frog's Riddle. A frog once gave an afternoon tea And invited a rooster and a bee; Frog sat in the middle. And gave them a riddle. "And this is the riddle," said he: "Dear friends, can either of you tell me. Why is a rooster like a bee?" They both answered "Yes. sir; We're each a good guesser, And we each have a comb, you see!" |
