Weeping    Women    Are   Out   of
fashion.
Men haye laughed and women have
wept for ages. Women's tears have
been featured far more than they deserve, and the heroines of the old-fashioned novels must have been a damp,
red-eyed lot of girls even in their most
joyous moments.
The fact is that women have overdone their crying, and have allowed
any amount of health, courage and
force to ooze from their tear-glands.
Weeping iu old days was really as fashionable as fainting, and the poems of
Moore and Byron dwell ecstatically
upon the tears of tbe various Julias
and Marys of their songs, so crying
spells must have had their charm In
those days, as well as ringlets and
wasp waists.
But the woman of the future will
laugh, and will be all the better for it.
Girls have never been allowed to cultivate a humorous sense as they grow
up until within quite recent years,
when intelligence la gaining such victories iu the nursery. Boistenous
conduct or loud laughter have always
been reproved in iitole f*iris, while in
a boy such exuberance is regarded as
a natural and healthy sex attribute.
This is one of the reasons that the
humorous sense, which in the children
is usually in the love of frolic, is killed
in the feminine nature. To laugh Is
rude. That constitutes the law for
the woman child in whose brain-celis
mischievous fun Is beginning to bubble. Tbe result of all this is that few
women know how to laugh. The
laugh of the child is repressed, and it
develops into the giggle of tbe girl.
Tuen tbe giggle is criticized, and many
women continue, in their efforts to be
polite, to gurgle and gasp into their
handkerchiefs until the end of tbe
chapter.—February Woman's Home

Hirt-Harris,
A very pretty wedding occurred
Thursday evening at the home of the
bride's parents, Mr, and Mrs. T. B.
Hirt, when their oldest daughter,
Miss "Emma, was united in the holy
bonds of matrimony with Mr. Clyde
C. Harris, Rev. W, J. Hathaway of
the M. E. church performing the ceremony, The couple were showered
with many costly and useful presents.
The groom is a junior member in
the grocery firm of Harris & Son and
strict attention to business and his
courteous manners have won for him
many friends whose patronage the
firm enjoy. Clyde is a Clare boy, having spent the greater part of his life
here. The bride also has liyed in
Clare tbe greater part of her life and
has a host of admiring friends who
congratulate themselves that she- is
to remainrhere, continuing, as she
has been, one of the lights of society
circles. For tbe present they will reside with her parents, and in the
spring will commence housekeeping.
The Sentinel joins their many
friends in wishing them a happy wedded life.

MRS.     CLEVELAND'S    JDEMOC
RACY.
How the Woman Who Won the
Nation's Heart Surprised a
New York Brakeman
A lady who knew Mrs. Cleveland
quite well met her at the Grand Central Station in "New York, recently,
fairly laden down with parcels.
"You look liKe a real old-fashioned
Santa Glaus," she said to Mrs. Cleveland.
Oh, no, not quite that," was the reply, "for I have no toys in my parcels;
they are filled with fruit that I am
taking out to wnere I am staying, because they are very fond of these
particular things and they can't be
had out there."
When Mrs. Cleveland left the train
her friend thought that she would
give pleasure to the brakeman by telling him that he had "entertained" an
angel unawares."
So she said, "Did you see that lady
on the platform with all those parcels?"
"Yes," said be, "what of her?"
"That's Mrs. Cleveland." The man
refused to believe her. He could not
believe that the wife of the ex-President, almost struggling with parcels,
would be trayeling alone in an ordinary day coach. Such simple democracy passed his belief,—February
