Wise Sayings of Mrs. Grundy.

That the wise parents are those wholook after the kind of literature their children read. That the woman whoso voice is “all forsuffrage” is not always a Hebe, a Cleopatra, or a Venus. That often the most consequential husband in public is the meekest and most> humble at home. That no champion duck sheds waterquicker than fashionable people shake ofiT family disgrace. That in the writing of obituaries nowadays it is often most important to know what not to put in. That a great many women sacrifice the= proprieties of life just for the sake of a* ■ little brief celebrity. That there are young men who do not wish to see tailors executed, but who wish, they would “hang up.” That it would be a splendid idea for the decent press of the country to combine to ignore Sullivan. That boasting of one’s wealth andachievements must be regarded as a. “fashionable accomplishment.” That it is something akin to a puzzleto decide what is really the mission in lifeof the “society youth.” That red flannel to a bull is not moreobnoxious than the suggestion of genealogy to “society people. That, as a rule, the “specialist” amongdoctors charges very much after the style' of the “noble six hundred.” —New YorkMail.
