TACT IN WOMEN.

Among the qualities most essential to women, tact may fairly take a front plaoo, for, without it, words spoken and things done with the best motives not only fail often of their end, but may., even be productive sometimes of the very evila which they were intended to prevent. No human being can afford to be devoid of tact, although a great many people are in that condition \ but .it is especially necessary to those whose strength lies in their weakness, or, in other words, those for whom judgment and persuasiveness are the only weapons. A tactless woman, stirs up the elements instead of soothing them, and drives those about her nearly to desperation, simply because, from never studying .their respective peculiarities and hobbies, she has no idea of what will please or offend, and consequently she says and does things "which rub them the wrong way," and irritate beyond endurance.
