THE "WA Y" SHE HAS.

1X» WnllKX M.VKK I'SK OK TJIKIIi JNFLI'KXCE OVKIt JIKXr In nine cases out of ten, women have no idea of the tremendous power they possess over men. I'erhaps it is just as well for the men that tlicy iloii't. Men are very easily swayed by their womenkind. in spite of their grand airs of condescending amusement at woman's naive and childish prattle, and general air of "Behold me. t lord of creation! Come and fall down ;ind worship!'" Look at Adam and Kve, for instance, and hasn't it always been so—all through the dim age* of the past* different men need different treat ment, Inn they are all equally easy to deal with after a little careful study of tlieir teui|>eraments. There is the man. for instance, who must always lie ruled by oontrariness. His wife—for a reason of her own— particularly wishes that her better half should lie at home on a certain evening. He announces his intention of dining out. The little sinner turns'and dap* her hands with joy. "1 am so pleased, dear!" she says.

"1 have got a lot of work 1 want to finish. Besides, it i* high time that yon hail an owning at \o»r chili; you haw not been th<T«» for ages!" He look* at her *u*piciou*ly, IjiH >ays nothing. .Fust l>efore he leaves home >iit* si<|le> up to him.

"Here'* your lateiikey. Harry. You had Wtter take it. in ease yon are late home to-night, and we might all he in bed!" '"What do you meanV lie demand* angrily. "I shall Im* in tonight for dinner as usual." And lie goes out. *lauis the door, and all the way to the station wonder:, uncomfortably "what her little game is!" Her little game i* to gain her point, and -lie has done -o and is happy. I know a ca*e of a man. stark, staring lieartle.*- from hi-, infancy, who goes to church, and even *ay* prayers night ami morning, under the inlluenee of a pious little wife. She didn't *ay anything: she simply looked wistful, as she raised her -mall face for a farewell ki-s on the first Sunday morning at home after the honeymoon. "I will e-eort you to the chuivh door, dear." he murmured lovingly. Her whole faee brightened, but when they reached the d'H»r -he looked wistful again.

"I wi*h you hadn't "ome. after all." -«he whi-pcred. "I hate parting with you for even «o -hort a time without a ki**. and I cannot Kiss you here!'* " If yon don't inind my llanneN. I will come in with you." 1 he says eagerly. And in they went.
