GOODWIN'S WEEKLY 13 I l Gossip for Women DRAPED carelessly over the most comfortable chair in the room Bits, or lolls, the American man. He Is calling on the young Amer ican woman. He Is telling her about himself. He will stay untU she feeds him out Of her chafing dish. Ho has great possibilities wlth'n his recum bent being. In a few years he will bo the best husband in the world. '' What is he now? Well, for one thing, he la Inconsider ate. One girl and if you can judge by her stationery and her fine fewing lhg handwriting and her clever Ueas, an up to date girl writes like tnis: "Do our young men smoke before girls without permiss'on? Of course not. There 13 a regular formula, mum bled usually when the n.ilrh is already blazing. 'Do you m'ncl if I smoke V And the customary anawor which few have the termerlty to vary, is a gra cious, 'not at all One girl, who knew not man, was fraalc. She did object, and said so. Her companion, whom she had but recently met, gazed at her in unconcealed asto.il mme'it for a few moments. Then he suggested with considerable kindness that she had better 'get over that "However, If it is too much to ex pect that the presence of girls shall compensate for the lack of cigars; if we must forego the pleasure of mas culine society or agree to accept It plus its pipe, then v e sigh for a day when the thoughtfuluess oj nun shall be so developed that they shall ob serve when the wind is blowing1 smoke directly in our faces, and that they shall lay a3ide their pipes before the atmosphero is so clouded that for days our dresses, evou our hair, shall be strong with the odor of tobacco Perhaps this young woman expects to much, perhaps not; at least the con dition which she declaimed againat Is a fair example of masculine lack of consideration, courtesy, chivalry. The speed with which these faults disappear in the young man who has singled out the "one girl" and the fre quency with which they are avoided by the average husband showB, how ever, that they are not Incurable. More men are driven out of their homes by tears than by laughter. To Imagine because a man gives way to an outburst of temper he has neces sarily ceased to love his wife is silly and irrational. It is -merely the action of a safety valve, and after all superfluous steam has escaped he will be as contented as possible. All men are martyrs to some griev ance or other, and after a particularly violent outburst it is wiser not to be too incisive in your reminders of the T MISS NELLIE HASBROUCK CONTRALTO. j Who appears In recital at the First Congregational Church, j Next Thursday evening. jt m JUilimMJiLMJ IU ULJLLJLMfii Hr - - UmJ fact that he has fbrgotten his man ners a few hours previously. Man is a creature of habit. It is a mistake to imagine, as many people do, that he is an erratic, unstable ani mal, for he is quite the reverse. Mar riage is also a habit it is this that keeps people together often after ro mance and passion have died out and is the reason why widows and widow ers seldom remain long in single bless edness. So many women make the mistake of trying to force their mankind along the route that appeals to thefnselves, thereby making them most uncom fortable; and a man who is uncom fortable soond finds some place where he can follow I1I3 own inclinations, whether it be club or some other wo man. Let him have his harmless little tempers out. He comes home tired and snappish he grumbles because his shirt is badly ironed, because some one has put his sock3 into the drawer hold sacred to collars, because the fish is overdone, and the coffee weak and miuddy. After he has grumbled enough he will subside Into a chair behind a newspaper and probably go to sleep. Or he wakes up In the morning with a liver or finds a letter from his bank telling him that his account is over drawn. Instead of bearing either mis fortune with the manly fortitude which according to tradition he should natur ally be expected to display, in nine cases out of ten he proceeds to vent his annoyance on everything animate or inanimate which crosses his path. If only wtomen were philosophical enough to realize that the whole vol canic outburst Is only a harmless vent for overcharged feelings they would bear it with more equanimity. Anyway, tears are always a mis take they may be an effective weapon before marriage; afterwards, instead of wiping them tenderly away, the average husband says, "O, for good ness sake don't make a scene," and goes off to his office till the storm is blown over. If the girl who talks In season and out knew how many invitations she lost thereby, she would cease to give her tongue perpetual exercise. The girl who cannot talk at all provided she can look can count on a better time than she who never stops talk ing. Most of us are egotists enough to like the occasional sound of our own voices. There are few places whore the talker fits in. This does not mean the girl who talks in reason, but those everlasting babblers who keep up a perpetual word throwing. An overdose of one of these bab blers makes us not only approve the wisdom of Solomon that "the for ward tongue shall be cut out" but makes us sigh for the despotism of the proverb that he could bo the knife wlelder. It is only fear of the rope that prevents murder by the concerned; one. We mentally say: "If she would only stop talking!" "Will she never stop!" "Gracious if ehe doesn't stop I'll make her!"
