In the February American Magazine David Grayson, author of ’Hempfield,” comments as follows on the cheerfulness of the wicked: “We are nearly all of us shocked by the cheerfulness of the wicked! We feel that l hose whom we have set aside as reprobates, or sinful spectacles, should by good right draw long faces and be appropriately miserable; and we never become quite accustomed to our own surprise at finding them happy or contented.”

She could not be located Tuesday evening. In the February Woman’s Home Companion Ida M. Tarbell writes an article entitled “The Talkative Woman” in which she explains why women talk so much and what their talk is worth.. In the course of her article she makes the point that women are naturally talkative, because they spend so much time with little children, teaching them the language. On the natural inclination of women to talk she says in part: “It is as natural for the normal women to talk as for the bird to sing. It is the spontaneous expression and giving of herself. It is this naturalness which gives to her talkativeness its perennial charm as well as its incalculable value in the scheme of things. The woman in the human group is much like the Monarch in Pierre Mille's delightful tale of that name. ‘Why do people call me Monarch? Why am I loved? Why always happy? Because,’ he explains ‘I always have time to talk. Without me the people around here would be bored to death. I go and come, laugh and sing. I cost nothing but a glass of wine, and a bit of supper. What do 1 give? I give myself.’ The woman gives herself.” —o COURT HOUSE NEWS.
