GIRLS WHO GET TIRED.

Probably the average girl doseu't know her own mind more than a few minutes at a time. She is forever wishing - something or another was .■something else until it i.s something else, and then she wishes it was still another thing. When she goes shopping she has the most dreadful time of it. She is almost always certain to want to return whatever she gets and get something else. When she does not do this it is because she has not on her shopping excursion been able to keep her mind together long enough to buy anything of sufficient eonseuueuee to return. The uncertainty which characterizes their shopping experience, however, does not embarrass them when it comes to selecting a husband. It is easier for most gills to pick out a husband than it is to match a ribbon, and some of them don't give as much consideration and thought to the one as to the other. And yet it isn't very easy to exchange a husband when one finds she has made a mistake. Perhaps the girls are not so much to blame. A sweet moustache and a lovely necktie are not to bo resisted by everybody ; they are well designed to capture the average girl. But while .some girls change their minds a little too late, there are those of a quicker disposition. One of these latter lias just come to the public attention in Illinois. She has been sued for a, breach of promise. She engaged herself to a sweet moustache and perfectly lovely necktie, but shortly discovered that she really didn't want to marry them. When she was brought into Court to explain, she merely indicated in the chosen language of the untamed West that the young man was nice to look at but lie made her tired.

Whether the jmy will award the moustache and necktie any damages has not yet been determined. In cases like this girls would do themselves more justice if they would get tired sooner. The largo majority of them don't find out how tired they arc till after marriage, and then the husband whom they have not concerned themselves very much to select cannot bo exchanged like the threequarters of a yard of ribbon which has coat them weeks of anxiety and painf id thought and care. The average girl wont caro to

read this. She doesn't want advice on the matter of selecting a husband, but when she is going to buy a new pair of stockings site will seek the i\ isdom and experience of all her acquaintances. Girls are the prize puzzles of the world. —Philadelphia Press.
