THOSE WITTY NOVELISTS.

The difference between a man and a woman is that a man looks forward and a woman remembers. — "The New HumptyDumpty," by Daniel Chaucer. There's a difference between stopping because you want to stop and stopping because you can't get away.—"Stories Without Tears," by Barry Pain. Men seldom confide their infatuations to other men, but they often do to women, or, if they drop a hint, woman corkscrews tho whole story out of them. Julia Fiance,"' by Gertrude Atherton. ' It's really only expression that makes things real. If you don't talk about a thing, it has never happened. But it doesn't always follow that a thing has happened because you talk about it.— " Tenterhooks," by Ada Leverson. There are just three things that matter in this worldfaith, and a buoyant heart, and the good love when it comes.—" Tales of tho Open Hazard," by Halliwell Sutdiffe. What women like best in a man is hardihood and assurance touched with brutality. That is the secret of success with the sex. "Between Two Thieves," by Ilichard Dehan. Women mix their love with every bit of themselves and their lives. It permeates all they are and do and think. But men keep theirs in separate compartments.— "Tho Oakum Pickers," by L. S. Gibson. Women's lips- only tell lies when they speak—never when they kiss. A woman always puts the truth into her kiss—the only difficulty is for a man to find that truth and to understand it. Blame men for anything and even-thing (and Heaven knows they deserve it), but do not ever blame any man for embracing any woman entirely against her will. It is one of the world's events which never happen.—" The Escort," by Gertie de S. I Went worth- James.
