Such Little Things.
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

1 pastor of the church, coming here
I direct from Muscatine, la. In a
I brief talk, I. S. 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. The success of the first
ball assures the new club of a high
ly successful and enjoyable season.
The patronesses and to whose efforts
the success of last evening's event
was due are Mesdames E. E. Straw,
C. E. Nicholson, Wm. Lawlor, J. W.
