WOMEN SO QUICK ! TO FIND AN INSULT Is It a Lack of the Sense of Humor That Makes Them Ready to Take Offense? By Dorothy Dix. Why do women take offense bo much more easily than men? There is no use, my sisters, in raising an Indignant howl of protest and saying that they don't. Wo all know that they do and that every woman bristles with feelings as a porcupine does with quills. You cannot deal with .a woman as you can with a man; yon cannot talk to a woman as you can to a man, and on your life you dare not tell a woman the truth as you would a man. She always has to be handled with kid glovqs, because, as the i homely old phrase goes, she takes of- I fense where none was intended. I Never Try to Please a Woman by Tell ing Her That Her Waist Gaj)C9. Tha most curious and abnormal il lustration of this is to be found in the fact that if you tell a woman that something is wrong with her costume, ninety-nine times out of a hundred she sees a deadly insult in your kindly meant attention and gives you a bale ful glare that teaches you to let all | future women go around with their l plackets gaping or their shirt waists unbuttoned if they happen that way. ! Only recently a woman friend of j mine whose pphilanthropy no amount of experience can ever entirely squelch, was walking up the street | behind a lady who had neglected in | making her toilette to hook her skirt j belt and was, in consequence thereof, j in imminent danger of losing an lm- j portant part of her attire. Said my j friend, with a winning smile: "Pardon me, madam, but your skirt j Is unfastened in the back and is j about to drop." Said the other woman, with a look that brought the temperature down! to zero in that immediate vicinity: | "I don't see that that's any busi ness of yours." Which proposition closed the inci dent. This is by no means an Isolated I case. Nearly every woman has had j something sipiilar happen to her when she ventured to tell a sister woman! that something was awry with her at tire. As for calling a woman's at-1 tention to having gotten her false I hair on crooked, or her figure on' hind part before, or that she had hit I the rouge box too liberally, or had I located her eyebrows in the wrong j place, nobody who hasn't a candidate for martyrdom and heavily insured | for the benefit of her family would | dream of committing such a fool hardy act. Yet a Man Will Thank You for TeHiijs Him of Some Krror in His Attire. I In contradiction to this, imagine! the fervor of gratitude that would be I a man's "Thank you, old chap," if I some good-hearted brother would call his attention to the fact that he I had gotten on his clothes in a way! that made him a figure of fun, or that some unperceived accident had hap-1 pened to his attire. If in a jam in a store or on the cars or at the theater you unintentionally Jostle a woman she adopts the atti tude of accusing you of having done it on purpose and with malice afore thought. As for attempting to apolo gize. it is a waste of breath. The offended one turns upon you with a look that says as plainly as print, "I knew that you did it on purpose and that you have just been waiting for this opportunity to step on my skirt or bump my hat. If you hadn't, why didn't you tear that other woman's dress or smash her hat out of shape? Oh, I know your mean, low-down mo tlves In crowding me. You can't fool me." Women also show a diabolical inge- WRINKLES DISAPPEAR SKIN SMOOTH That's what every woman says who treats her wrinkled, faded, tired-look ing skin with the marvelous Usit. This pure nut-oil skin food, brought here from old Egypt, where for centuries it has been used by that country's famous beauties, is positively guaranteed to banish wrinkles quickly, whether caused by advancing vears, worry work or exposure. It will restore the color and youthful smoothness to any complexion. Don't neglect your looks, don't let your skin become sallow frtui old-look ing. Go to your druggist to-dav and for BO cents get a bottle of Usit. Apply nights before retiring and you will be surprised at the result. No other treat ment is necessary. Usit is always put up in opal bottles. Take nothing else. It is not a face cream and contains nothing that will cause hair growth. For sale by Gorgas, the Druggist, and dealers everywhere.

In a mixed company of wo-1 men you shouldin cautiously make the statement that red hair indicated temper every auburn-locked lady in I tho room would jump on you with the announcement that she guessed she was just about as amiable and! as easy to get along with as some | people she oculd mention, if she i would, that had black hair or brown. The great foe to all women's or-; ganizatlons has been this talent that; women have for taking offense wherol none was intended, and when any- j thing was said that they could pos-> sibly construe Into any sort of a criticism on themselves, their fam-! ilies or their housekeeping, getting j up and taking their doll rags and I going home. I Businessmen Have No Time to Soothe, the Feelings of Women Employes. Happily, this is not as bad as it used to be, and the great mission of the women's clubs has been to teach women to look at things from a broader standpoint than tho purely personal. When woman got so that she could have her resolution voted down without regarding every other women who opposed her as a mortal enemy it marked a milestone in the progress of the sex. Woman's proneness to take undue offense is one of the chief stumbling blocks that she finds in business. Busy businessmen, harried and worn, have no time to soothe down the sen sibilities of a creature ■who is 80 per cent feelings and 20 per out nerves, and fehat is a conclusive reason why the office boy is more apt to go up the ladder of success than the office girl. There are few women who can lis ten to a criticism of their work with out considering it a deadly insult, no matter how bad the work is, and, this being true, and an employer not wish ing to be put in the 4light of insulting a woman, finds it easier and pleas anter to dismiss a girl rather than point out to her the mistakes she makes, thus depriving the girl of tho chance of correcting her shortcom ings and learning to do her work properly. But you might multiply instances endlessly to prove tlie touchiness of women. Why is this? Why does the sex go about with a chip on its shoulder? Is it constitutional? Is it sensitiveness? Or is it a lack of the sens© of humor? Soldiers' Brides in Happy Tent Homes El Paso, Tex., Dec. 15. How to have a honeymoon and be a soldier, too, has been exemplified by two De troit guardsmen, who have con structed khaki huts for their brides within 100 feet of the troopers' tents in the main camp here. The two girls have gone merrily to housekeeping in their army dovecoteß, and apparently are as happy as any brides could be. The brides are sisters, formerly Carmen and Elizabeth Boberts, of De troit. The bridegrooms are First Ser geant Frank J. McShara and Private Thomas Moon, Company D, Thirty first Michigan. Carmen Boberts and Moon were tho first pair married, but when Sergeant McShara met Miss Elizabeth at the camp another cere mony soon followed, and the two fel low soldiers became brothers-in-law. The newly weds have set up pyra midal khalti tents, with Madeira pine flooring. The tents are heated by small, conical stoves, and the cook ing is done out of doors In true fron tier fashion. "J. Pierpont Morgan" Fined SSO and Costs Chicago, 111., Dec. 15.—-'All the "nag" of the name of "J. Pierpont Morgan" and all the eloquence of the man who gave It when he called a wagon load of police to a saloon at Clark and Ohio streets Wednesday night, failed to move Judge Sullivan. "Mr. Morgan" was fined SSO and costs, spent a second night in a cell, and to-day will bo examined as to his sanity. "Your honor, this great city is filled with dives and disorderly saloons and to remove this to the citizens, I wanted to clean them out, and so I called the police," the defendant be gan dramatically. "What do you do when you're not in Wall street?" the judge asked. "Well, I'm a steamboat captain, your honor," the erstwhile financier answered. "On the 'Old Green River,' I pre sume," the Jurist commented. If Cat Had Been Dog, He Could Decide, Says Judge I London, Dec. 15.—Because a cat is | not a dog, Magistrate de Grey was un- I able to decide the ownership of a i Persian cat, which a woman at West ; London said was being detained by a ! neighbor. "Now a cat is not a dog and a dog is not a cat," said the Magistrate. "If it was a dog I could have it brought | into court and I might -be able to t give it some sort, of Solomon's Judg ! ment by seeing which person it went I to. But a cat is a lonesome creature, as Kipling has pointed out, and if the animal were brought here and told to go to its owner it probably would do nothing but sit still and lick its paws. It's very wrong of the cat, but that's Its way." However, the application for a sum mons for the neighbor was granted. "Ladies Only" to Be Tried Afternoons by Ohio Judge Columbus, Ohio, Dec. IB.—Begin ning Monday Judge Osborn of the Municipal Court, will hold a session for "Ladies only" every afternoon to accommodate women violators of the new traffic code of Columbus.
