Mistakes of Women.

One of the mistakes of women is not knowing how to eat. If a man is not to be fed when she is, she thinks a cup of tea and anything handy is good enough. If she is busy she will not waste time eating. If she is unhappy she goes without food. A man eats if the sheriff is at the door, if his work drives, if the undertaker interrupts; and he is right. A woman will choose ice cream instead of beefsteak, and a man will not. Another of her mistakes is in not knowing when to rest. If she is tired she may sit down, but she will darn stockirgs, crotchet shawls, embroider d’oyleys. If she is exhausted she will write letters or figure her accounts. She would laugh at you if you hinted that reading or writing could fail to rest her. All over the country hospitals flourish because women do not know how to rest.

Another mistake is worrying. Worry and hurry are their enemies, and yet they hug them to their bosoms. Women cross bridges before they come to them, and even build bridges to cross They imagine misfortune and run out to meet it.

Women are not jolly enough. They make too serious business of life, and laugh at its little humours too seldom. Men can stop in the midst of perplexities and have a hearty laugh. And it

keeps them young. Woriy not only wrinkles the face, but it wrinkles and withers the mind. Have a hearty laugh once in a while : it is a good antiseptic, and will purify the mental atmosphere, and drive away evil imaginings, bad temper, and other ills. —Buffalo Times.
