For want of very little things some times We women pine, and weep our souls away; To you they seem absurd and fool ish; but A woman lives for them, from day to day. A loving word, a little longer kiss, Would make her happy as the day Is long; But when you seem preoccupied, or cold, Or angry with me all my world goes wrong. Have you not often said you loved me best? Why, yes, of course; and well I know 'tis true; It Isn't that I doubt It; but It's still So sweet to hear It every day, anew! And so I bring and lay at your dear feet My heart, my soul, my life as offer ings; My all I give to you and ask but these A look, a kiss two very little things. Countess of Klnnow. TACT CONSISTS of knowing how and when. The French call it savolr falre and it's all of that, only more so. In fact, tact Is much more so than any definition can de scribe or even indicate. People with tact caii go anywhere and do everything. Without it the woman who hopes to do anything in the social line might as well go and drown herself, because the first re quisite in a social leader is tact. Tact is even useful In snubbing peo ple. It needs to be done with suin cient firmness so that the solar plexus Is reached, yet with not suillcleiit cruelty to cause death. In fact tact Is useful In all walks of life. In a cat it lies in his whisk ers, which tell him when not to risk the rest of himself. In a hoopsnake It lies In his tail. He takes it in his mouth and gracefully trundles him self out of harm's way. A woman uses it beforehand and saves herself many a mortification. A man uses It as an army its rear guard, to avoid Bin-prises and prevent mistakes. As women more naturally possess tact than men, therefore a tactless woman is doubly conspicuous, and the Mrs. Malapropos are always In the limelight. Tho tactless woman commits blunders with a calmness which gives a tactful woman gooseflesh even to think about. She is always talking to old maids nbotit ago and how horrid It must bo to grow old alone. If you havo a birthmark, sho relates anecdotes of blemishes. If you have weak oyes she talks blind ness. If you havo rheumatism alio asks you If you expect to have to uso crutches. If n child does not nnswor quickly, she asks Its mother if ho Is deaf or only backward. And sho never knows sho has dono anything amiss. Even If you tell her, Bho can't see It, because your tactless woman is gonerally concolted and thinks hor own standard of social amenities a sufficient guldo for any one. Tho tactless woman rides rough shod over timid women, leaving tears and holploss rago In hor wnko. Hut once In a while sho moots a woman who is not afraid to "speak out in meeting" and who tolls her what people think of hor. Then there are doings. Ono of the pleasant social events of tho wook was tho rocoption tonder od tho Hov. II, I. Rutlodgo and wife, at the pnrsonngp of tho First Method ist Episcopal church by tho congrega tion Wudnosday ovoniug.

Kaufman in behalf of the congregation welcomed the new pastor. In responding, the Rev. Mr. Rutledge said while his acquaint ance with Coos Bay was still very limited, he found that it surpassed his expectations and that he and Mrs. Rutledge more than appreciated the warm welcome extended to them. Musical numbers with some special selections by the Methodist Episcopal church choir added to the pleasure of the occasion. Refresh ments were served. The first ball of the Assembly Club at the Finnish hall last evening was a great success, upwards of twenty-five couples being present. Music was furnished by T. J. Lynch's orchestra and the program consisted of sixteen numbers, four extras and another extra-extra, an old fashion-1 ed quadrille closing the evening's enjoyment.
