Perhaps it does. But no respectable yonng man, says an able Western jour- nal, will have anything to do with a young lady who takes a position on the street corner and winks at the gentie- mes a3 they pass by. Nor would it be well for a dozen or more young ladies to josf uround the front of a church an hour and « half on Sunday nights, sparring and knocking cone anothers

The expression is eften heard, by people who understand very little about it, that “we all eat too much.’ This is very rarely the case. Lt should rather be expresse!, “ we eat (oo much of one thing, or of the same kind of food, be- cause cooks and housewives are se very ignorant.” It is perfectly impossible for a bumsan being to exert his best faculties if nuder-fed.

A petite blue-eyed maiden, who was nursing her fiith Christmas doll; and listening to ber mother and some fe- male friend: talking about domestic broils and wivorces, created rather a pleasant sensation by remarking, “Well, ma, ['m never going to marry. I’m going to be a widow.”
