Professor Chamberlain of Clarke university has promulgated the fol lowing findings concerning woman as compared with man: As an actor she has greater ability and more frequently shows it. She is noticeably belter in adapta bility. She is much more charitable—in money matters. Under reasonable opportunities she is more gifted at diplomacy. \ She has greater genius in politics. She more commonly has executive ability. Her imagination is greater. Her intuitions are greater. Her memory is better. Her patience is greater. Her perceptions are more rapid. She has greater religious devotion. Her instinct for sacrifice is greater. Site bears pain' more heroically. Her sympathy is greater. She has greater tact, She has greater vitality. She has more fluency In the lower forms of speech. DO WE FORGET? Do we forget when winter snows lie deep Above the beds where our beloved sleep And we no longer wildly weep. Do we forget?

Americans are glad again to welcome Ellen Terry, the inimitable delineator of Shakespearean heroines of the bright and gentle type. Her daughter, Edith Craig, is her stage manager during the actress’ present American tour. Though Ellen Terry celebrated the fiftieth jubilee of her stage life last year, she is yet in her fifties, having begun her professional career when she was a small child. Off the stage this charming woman’s name is Mrs. E. A. Warden. MRS. ERNEST THOMPSON SETON, WRITER AND ILLUSTRATOR OF BOOKS. treot they tug around ttimes, and out of plu. one's ncx: be a labort It amaze; 1 When the books of Ernest Thompson Seton first appeared they were a novelty in the way of decoration and illustration and were pronounced ex- trem ly preity and attractive. It did not take readers long to find out that tho whole scheme of these illustrations had been devised by the naturalist’s wife, Mrs. Grace Gallatin Thompson Seton, who herself made the decorative drawings. Mrs. Seton always lays out the mechanical and decorative part of , made artistically and in modest pat ter husband’s hooks. That is why they are so attractive.

Made of real diamonds the bracelet would coe hundreds. Of artifical stones you could purchase it for $35. Why did my mind return so persistently to the idea that Omens are buttoned down the bark. At the opera and theater you would think the wealth of Golconda had been turned loose until you look closer. Really we are rivaling the English, and every one knows that London sup ports more makers of fake jewelry than any other large city in the world. I don’t understand it. If people can’t afford diamonds, rubies and emeralds there are surely some less expensive stones that are equally pretty. Take pink coral, for instance, or turquoise or jade. Beautiful pendants can be made from any of these, and set in solid gold they are refined and “real.” K *t I was nicely fooled the .other day. I called on an acquaintance, and she showed me her Christmas present. Drawing it with the greatest respect from tissue paper, she flashed it on my they might be false stones?

Tissue paper is used to prevent silver from tarnish ing. Genuine diamonds are always set in platinum—no danger of tarnishing that. She might .safely have- left the, bracelet In her almost empty jewel box. • But paste diamonds are set in silver. Silver tarnishes unless wrapped in paper. Once tarnished it ruins the effect of the mock stones, and silver polish is bad for paste. There you are! Hawks haw the detective! HtfZ £l New York. THE MAGNETIC WOMAN. Have you ever met a magnetic wo man? Scattered about in the world there are a few women of this sort with whom it is a positive pleasure to come in contact. The magnetic woman is. enthusiastic, and her enthusiasm is infectious. If you meet her on a wet day you soon find yourself wondering why other people say wet weather is so dispiriting. Light hearted she always is, with a voice that thrills one, and always good company. A day in her company is in vigorating, and when you part you wish she had been a sister or a relative that you could keep her with you al ways. She is as popular with the men as with the women, can crack a joke with all, untiring, ceaselessly energetici witty, refined and resourceful. She is a born lady, and nobody grudges her one whit of her social success. It may be inbred, but as often as not it is a matter of cultivation and re- T straint. We are all magnetic in a de gree. Some are attracted by a woman's ways, others are repelled, but it is very largely the question of “knowing how"- whereon depends the position which a woman holds in her circle of friends and acquaintances. DON’T BE JEALOUS. Jealousy is such a mean, small pas- - sion. Yet It seems that by far the larger number of humanity arc beset j by it. It has a hideous power to blind the, eyes to all that is bright and beautiful, In life. Under its baleful influence- everything is distorted. Jealousy is a recognition of the sqpe- 1 riority of some one else over ourselves.. Perhaps that is why it hurts so. ' It is not pleasant to feel that another has more charm, more power to attract. But if "this is so, perhaps some lies itt us. Are we as charming, as tie. as gracious as we can be, we spent ourselves in envy and The thing to do Is not to and nerve force in resentment, make the most of ourselves—to vate whatever charm we have b ousness, cheeriness, good tience and kindliness.
