SAYINGS OF MRS. SOLOMON.
Being the Confessions of the Sev
en Hundreth Wife and Trans
lated by Helen Rowland for the
Washington Herald.
do to my Daughter ! Hast thou j
forgotten that thou art nothing but
a "rib?" Then why hast thou
waxed vainglorious? Why walk
est thou in the ways of the haughty
suffragette ? NX'hy yearnest thou
to be independent.
Tor I charge thee it is better to
i . t
dc a wnue slave, with a private 1
carriage and a maid to do thy hair, 1
than to be free to pay thine own
board bilN, and gas bills, and laun- i
dry bills ! . j
I.o, now thou an a thing of beau-
ty, even a "popular fad" like unto j
. motor cars and sheath gowns; and
! why dost thou long to be a thing
: of use like unto a parcel delivery
j wagon ?
; Behold thou an the leading lady
on the stage of life. And I charge
thee, play the part for all it is
: worth. Verily because popular
j authors write of nothing but "How
! a Woman Does Things," and pop
i ular artists paint nothing but pret
j ty girl's faces, and shopkeepers
i bow down before thee, is this a
i reason why thou shall not some
: day go out of fashion and be laid
I upon a shelf, like unto last year's
cast off garments ?
Foolish damsel, thou art Man's
' favorite decoration, and he trim
meth thee up in diamonds even
as he trimmeth his electric car in
silver trappings and leadeth thee
forth in triumph, yet when thou
hast become good and intellectual
i and independent and learned to do
j things for thyself, he will gladly
; let thee do them.
Verily a man adoreth a woman ,
. who is just good enough but not too '
good. Just clever enough to un
derstand him, but not so clever to
be understood; just independent
; enough to live without him, but
i not too independent 10 live with
! him. Yea, his ideal woman is a
: little of everything but not much
j of anything !
Co o ! A woman who can take
' care of herself shall be allowed to
: do so; but a man taketh marvelous
good care of his rib ! And what
profiteth it a woman if she gain the
whole world and lose a soft snap ?

YOU WILL FORGET ME,
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
"You will forget me the years are so tender,
They bind up the wounds we think are so deep;
This dream of our youth will fade out as the splendor
Fades from the skies when the sun sinks to sleep ;
The cloud of forgetfulness over and over
Will banish the last rosy colors away,
And the fingers of time will weave garlands to cover
The scar which you think is a life-mark to-day.
You will forget me the one boon you covet,
Now above all things, will soon seem no prize
And the heart which you hold not in keeping to prove
True or untrue, will lose w orth in your eyes
The one drop to-day, that you deem only wanting
To fill your life-cup to the brim, soon will seem
But a valueless mite, and the ghost that is haunting
The ashes of your heart will pass out with the dream,
You will forget me ; will thank me for saying
The words which you think are so pointed with pain.
Time loves a new lay; and the dirge he is playing
Will change for you soon to a livelier strain
1 shall pass out your life 1 shall pass out forever,
And these hours we have spent will be sunk in the past,
Youth buries its dead; grief kills seldom or never,
And forgetfulness cures all sorrows at last."

1 know not what will befall me !
God hangs a mist o'er my eyes;
And o'er each step of my onward path
He makes new scenes arise,
And every joy He sends me comes
As a sweet and glad surprise.
1 see not a step before me,
As I tread the days of the year,
But the past is still in God's keeping,
The future His mercy shall clear,
And what looks dark in the distance,
May brighten as I draw near.
For perhaps the dreaded future,
Has less bitterness than I think;
The Lord may sweeten the water,
Before I stoop to drink :
Or, if marah must be marah,
He will stand beside its brink.
It may be there is waiting
For the coming of my feet
Some gift of such rare blessedness,
Some joy so strangely sweet,
That my lips can only tremble
With the thanks I cannot speak.
Oh, restful, blissful ignorance !
'Tis blessed not to know,
It keeps me quiet in those arms
Which will not let me go
And hushes my soul to rest
On the bosom which loves me so.
So 1 go on not knowing !
1 would not if I might:
I'd rather walk in the dark with God,
Than go alone in the light,
I would rather walk with Christ by faith
Than walk alone by sight.
My heart shrinks back from trials
Which the future may disclose,
Yet 1 never had a sorrow
But what the dear Lord chose,
So I send the coming tears back,
With the whispered word, "He knows."

marriageable women carry in their j

j Bachelors bless their great big

i wear the purple of contentment

I Women admire, fete, and yearn j

! are ever on the alert to cultivate j
! their acquaintance for the sake of
I their budding, blushing daughters;
: no evening function is complete
j without the gay and festive bache-
lor; his presence and bearing give
j color and tone, wit and humor to
i the occasion. Verily, the life of
the average bachelor is a grand
! sweet song.
i No bawling babes; no butcher,

the pleasant dreams of his sweet
slumber; no nagging wife nor ire
ful mother-in-law to haunt his wak
ing dreams; no grasping landlord
nor impudent collector to cause
him to grow short-sighted and cut
corners.
The misguided youth in placing 1
the galling matrimonial yoke on
his tender neck signs the death
warrant of ease and contentment,
and society does the rest by strik
ing his name from the list of social
loss. He bids farewell to mirth
and song, and in their place family
cares and responsibilities come to

nd the keen struggle for existence
will no longer permit him to ease
the body with restful pleasures,
nor enrich the mind by reading,
save his daily paper; wherefore,
he is compelled by the force of
circumstance to stand still or go
hat-kwuid.
The bachelor, having no wife to
bother his life, has the time and
opportunity for study, travel, and
experiment; consequently he is
more progressive, better read,
broader-minded, and some believe
a better citizen.
The married man grows old and I
gray long before his lime, and is j
known by his untidy dress and rue
ful countenance. In truth and in
fact he wanders about, a living,
breathing object-lesson of the folly
of marriage.
Many, many married men will
agree with me and say amen ! On
the contrary, a married man here
and there, all the love-sick swains,
and gabby old maids, will rise up
in holy horror and cry out, Fool,
knave, selfish old bachelor, what
would become of the world ?"
