An able editor of a popular maga ce, which circulated whoKy among omen, has ags.in repelled the state ent that he understands the sex. "I don't understand women," he i? ..tider?tood heatedly to have declared. ' Woman is the darkest mystery in Me world." I doubt not that the editor made lhis statement, in effect at least, for tmee years ago he made 1 similar one to me. "1 don t understand women " Ho ? ung back my Insinuation of that suspicion with all tne beat bis ex naustless courtesy permitted. It would be presumption to s?.y so," he Insisted. "It keeps me busy all the time wondering which way Mrs. Bok will jump on a proposition. No man understands women, and no woman understands men. There will always be a veil of inscrutability; between them." >, "At least you know how to please them," I retorted. "Four circulation figures prove that." But even as 1 spoke this woman's crown of argument, "the last vrord," an answer to it sprung up tfl my own mind. His magazine was - uccessful because he had the stuff of success j in him, the energy and determination ' to address his particular audience. He might have manned the ship of a yellow journal, he might have direct cd the destinies of a vehicle of liter ature, he might have molded the opin ion of capital classes or their anti theses, as successfully as he managed this woman's journal. He had been chosen to speak to woiueu. and he spoke to them as directly, as force fully as he would have spokeu to s political meeting or a meeting of the board of directors of a bank. He was a gifted executive. Like any othei broad shouldered, strong featured keen minded man, he acornec the rep utation of being a specialist in femi nine psychology. Other clever men have vmely glv en up reading the riddle of women For why attempt to understand then when other women are always read) co act as interpreters. Set one wo man to catch another. Most men have sisters, and every man has t mother. These priestesses in the temple of femininity cau al? ays en lighten him. For women are not mys teries to each other. Their conclu sious are correct because they build as men do not, upon the premise that woman is a reasonable being. Women know that there is a reasoi even for her moods, that meuta weather that men declare is so puz sling, though I hav? seen as muny met as women in the clutch oi' mood. Thi. difference is merely that the mood of men are governed by their stom achs; women's moods by their hearts A woman's mood is a knife edge o a downy cushion, according as he heart hides a hurt or leaps with jo) Moods are mental weather, but then is a reason for a change of weather Men not being subtle or inoustriou: enough to seek out these reasons, dis miss what they don't understand as 'something past" understanding. A woman is low-spirited for days and her husband remarks to hit friends at luncheon: "Women an queer creatures." He is at no paint whatever to learn why she is low-spir ttcd. Whatever manifestation he ii too mentally lazy to investigate h? sets down as a "woman s way." For .every .mood, of woman there ii a reason. She cannt-t canno: hide h from her mother. She could not hide it from her husband if he caret enough to try to rind the reason Woman is uota synonym for whim sy. . She is as ameuable to the lawi of cause and eiVect as any other ere ated being or thing; but men haveu' chosen to take tiie trouble to tract the effect to its cause. Even a wo man's lightning changes of mind, s? puzzling to man, have their root it the natural order of cause and el feet. An element in her hafflingness is in troduced by man himself. He hat said, again and agtin, stupidly, tha? woman's chief charm is her mystery She has taken him at bis word. Mys tery has been multiplied, because me: wanted mystery. "For goodness sake teli her she's In scrutable. She loves it," said a frier, of the most transparent woman know. The transparent wontau's ' ance had talked of inscrittabilit scarcely knowing what it meant, ai this lovable young (vornan had ii stantly tried to swathe herself in . veil of mystery. The phrase would bt.tter go upo1 the rubbish heap of past follies, bun ished with the "mother-in-law tyran uy and the old maid angles" Mai gets mystery because he asics for it When the demand ceases the suppl) will vanish. ?ien and women are becoming inert alike. They have more subjects in common than the former household expenses and children. They speak the same language, even to bits ol over-einphasis now and then The) are comrades in a larger sense than ever before. A young man calls hi.' sweetheart his "pal." and she is more charmed with the kim.hip l'iif word implies than if from some re mote distance of misunderstanding hf sent her a sonnet or a tiara. Tht young woman whose betrothed sent her engagement ring from London tc Chicago by a messenger boy has ap plied for divorce from the sender. A Userul Article.

Value of Old ShcatG. Few housekeepers know the uc jf old sheets. First, there are very few housekeepers ignorant of the f2ct that if the sides are sewed to gether and the sheets cut through the center it will be given a new lease of life. Twilled sheets, by ieason of their softness, combined with their substantial weave, make -excellent polishing cloths and good undercov ers for ironing boards. Old cotton sheets make good bags for inclosing gowns and coats in the wardrobe, one large sheet being suf ficient for two wardrobe bags. An eld sheet will cut up into several slips for use rn the pillows over the ticking. Another plan is to take the best parts for making sheets for cots and cribs, where there are children, reserving the vary thin portions for use as dusters. A large a on for covering the skirt to be u.. -i for bedmaking can be made fron: .lalf a discarded sheet Very soft eld sheets may be cut I in, pieces 40. by 20 and devoted ta. baby s wear. , j In the sickroom there is no end to the possibilities of an o'd sneet. One half laid across the bed under the pa tient will serve as a draw sheet. Small pieces may be substituted for a handkerchief and then burned, in infectious cases an old sheet may be dipped in a disinfectant and hung out side the door of a sickroom. On sweeping days there is a need for old sheets for covering the furni ture. As linen wears well and keeps its color to the last thread, many very pretty pieces of decorative work may be evolved from it. An oblong piece, hemstitched all the way around, then embroidered will make a cover for baby's carriage. Small squares set together with insertion and lace will make a dressing table cover. Stencil Work. A charming little idea for the dec oration of the dinner table can be worked out by the artist of the fam ily. It is the duplication of the design on the china in that of the lamp shades. For the Dutch luncheon, when the delft ware is used, the shades shoulr carry out the pattern in colojutlid de sign. It is very easy to copy the fig ures from the china, and from one stencil board as many copies as are necessary for artistic lighting can be made. These transparent pieces cav be slipped into the frames and remov ed for a future time. For the rose luncheon, when the soft pink roses are the main china decoration, the candle shades add to the beauty of the table if they accu rately carry out the design which oc curs on the dishes. When the children are reigning at their little afternoon party and Moth er Goose Is once more seen on the cups and saucers, there will be added delight to the little folks if Little Boj Blue and Doctor Foster appear with ? candle behind them. No attempt at realism. should be made in these decorations. The tones should be put off in flat wash and the figures should be drawn in simple, conventional lines. Try this. You will find that the lit tie time which it will take to make a set of shades will be more than re paid in the pleasing idea that even the lights are linked to the table by an ap propriate decoration. Mary Harriman as a Country Girl. Mary Harriman has as keen an in stinct for guarding the cents as her father demonstrated in his business career. As the manager of the 30, 000-acre farm in Arden, N. Y., sh( works with an eye to profit. The re sponsibility of the farm is not new to her. For several years she prac tically held control, her father seldom interfering, and then doing little more than offering a suggestion. Harri man was proud of his daughter's tal ent for management. They were a familiar sight driving together over -.the. farm, Harriman, as a rule, hold-J fng the reins over one of his fast trotters. Miss Harriman cares more for her farm than for society. She is essentially a country girl. Society never has attracted her, and there is little likelihood It will gain her in terest now. She is a keen judge of a horse and seldom gets the worst jof a trade.?New York Press. Tha Soda Bath. There is a fancy just now. for tak ing soda baths. This is not onlj good for the skin, making it smooth and fine, but is advised as a cure foj rheumatic tendencies. Such a bath is possible to anyone, as all that is necessary is a box ol baking soda and plenty of warm wa ter. The ann-.int of soda used de pends upon the sensitiveness of one's skin. Half a teacupful to a bath is a good proportion. Be careful not to take washing soda instead of bicarbonate of soda or the ordinary baking soda. The above proportions of the former would probably leave you skinless, or at least would make it harsh and dry. A Blotchy Face. Many women are mortified by a red blotchy skin that, refuses to yield to copious grease and powder. Sometimes this condition is due to bad blood, but more often to poor circulation and improper diet. Try a cooling diet for a time and take something to com the blood. Your doctor will advise the best way this can be done. If you do not wish to consult him take a half teanpoon t'ul of Sprudel salts in a glass nf hot water to draw the blood from the head. Notice of Dischiu ge.
