Hongkong, 30th November, 1906,

Men are queer creatures, as every one known. A man will always stir his coffee sponsibility, thereby, foro drinking it. This is very foolish-be should laste it first to see if it needs stirring. »

Few men open their personal correspondence without looking at the postmarks to see the time of pesting, Women, an the other hand, vear open the envelope at once; they are in too much of a hurry to waste any time.

When a man puts on his hat he almost al- ways looks inside it first. What he expects to ses tomaini a mystery, but he looks for it all

the same.

He subjects the point of his pen to the same

· careful scrutiny before commencing to write a letter. A woman starts right off-jabs her penj in the, inkpot and straightway begins to porib. ble as if her life depended on it.
