Women’s Ways.

Woman believes she is all self-sacri-fice. In truth woman sacrifices everythiag but self. Any' woman over 20 will tell you that there is no special sweetness in the age of 16. A girl whose face is her fortune stapds just as poor a chance as the rest of the world at a bank counter. It very often happens that a woman commits extravagance to win the admiration of the man who will abuse her the most for it. It is of this season of the year that a woman buys a few green apples in the market, and covers them over in her basket with potatoes, that her small boy may not know she has them. If a married woman has anything that she keeps from her husband, she is sure to confide it to some other woman ; the average woman finds no fun in keeping a secret to herself.—Atchison It is said that the first clock which resembles our own was made in 1370 for the conceited Charles V., King of France. When Henry Vick brought it to him he said that to mark four o’clock by IV. was a mistake. On being told by the maker that he was wrong, he thundered out, “I am never wrong. Take it away and correct the mistake.” From that time to this, as a tradition, clock and watchwakers have invariably used Illi, instead of IV. on the dial.
