Wise and Unwise.

The keener the critic the more cutting the criticism. Time and silence often succeed where all other agencies fall. A thing of comfort Is seldom a joy to the woman of fashion. .1 It’s easier to play on a hand organ than on some people’s sympathy. A woman’s most amiable fault is her inclination to believe everything a man tells her. Since the war began the babies are up In arms and opinions are fired at random. The patriotism of some men is limited to red, white and blue poker chips. There are times when the brave deserve Immunity from the fair. The wife who chases, her husband with a poker rules him with a rod of Iren. Darwin’s theory may be all right, but lots of men make monkeys of themselves. When a woman calls her husband a fool he habitually pleads guilty on the ground that he married her. The liquid voice of a voluble woman would probably be prized more if she would occasionally turn off the flow. A man may be too old* to enlist, but his age never keeps him from going to the front when there is a spectacular show in town. A refrigerator made of concrete cools by the action of water flowing over the sides of the device.
