WOMAN'S WIRELESS. ♦ —— Wireless telegraphy was invented by women in the Stone Age. It told one feminine of the Flint era exactly what the others thought of her without any words being wasted on either side.

When a woman enters a room she knows in two seconds just how she and her clothes strike others.

If her coat happens to be of last year's pattern, done up to imitate today's style wireless telegraphy teaches her that this little fact has not escaped the observation of her lynx-eyed sisters.

By "woman's wireless," she sees herself as others see her. She knows that the others know her skirt is not silk lined; her gloves have been cleaned twice, the trimming of her blouse was bought at a bargain sale, and so on. These are the sort of messages wired all round the room from woman to woman.

The husband learns within limits his wife's unspoken thoughts. But the woman nearly always know-3 the most. She is, as a rule, quicker than he at recording the wireless impressions of matrimonv.
