WOMEN'S SENSE OF HUMOUR.

DIVERSE OPINIONS. , "Have women a feheo of humour?" is the question which t,he' "Lotal, Anzcigcr" (Berlin) addressed to a number, of prominent persons apropos of a statement by Mine. Yvette Guilbeirt. that her ses is deficient in humour.;." v Mr. Jerome K. Jerome, whose works enjoy: a wide vogue in German}-, r^ ?ilits: "My observations Jiavo shown mb hat v.omcn>havo just as sharp a eenfo of humour as men, but they, have less understanding of the grotesque." Hcrr Franz Lehar, composer of "The Merry Widow," thinks "women have humour whfn they are among' themselves and are making merry over iis men." Frau Clara Viebig, n celebrated German novelist, says: "Women have at least enough humour not to take this question seriously." .'. : -~''■ , i Herr Mai Benisttin, of Munich, barrister aud playwright, says: "Whether women have humour or not depends,on x their husbands." Frau Rosa Bertons, leading lady of the Royal Theatre, Berlin, says: ''If we women had not a eenso of humour, how could we tolerato tho suDcriprity of man?" _ ...• Herr Julius Freund, a popular musi-cal-comedy librettist, says:' "The grotesquenefs with which the modern woman bedecks htrsclf from head to foot establishes beyond all doubt that she overflows with, a sense-of humour." Herr Leo Leipziger, author, says: "Heaven gave man humour and woman patience." EXPERIENCE TEACHES WISDOM. Mirs Milscm, ndr Physician and Face Specialist, declares that despito tho mauy good- medital nnd 'surgical tqxt books which havo been issued during recent years, there is nono which combines in the one volume everything of importance appertaining to the care and maintenance of hair and the treatment of hair troubles It is only experience that tenches wisdom in this connection. Therefore call or write re hair, hairdressing, nnd hair work, shampooing, electrolysis, faco massage. All clients taught their own home treatment. Miss Milsom, King's Chambers, Wellington.
