LOVELORN youth writes me a pathetic letter saying that he is persona* non grata with the fair sex, that girls do not care for his so ciety, and the ungrateful minxes turn their backs upon him and talk to other men in the very instant they are 'de vouring the candy he brought them, and wearing the violets on which he squan dered his good money. This state of affairs greatly distresses him, and he wants to know why he isn’t popular, and how he may become a winner with women. Let us see if we can help him. Women differ from men in this re spect, that looks do v not count. It does not matter whether a man is handsome or not. Indeed, very few women care for beauty in the opposite sex. It is a poaching on their own preserves that they resent. Also it requires them to became flatterers instead of the flattered, for the vanity of the vainest woman that ever lived is as water unto wine com- Slop Experimenting' , ♦You think there arc hundreds because you have used the same identical preparations under several different names This is easily explained. Women stop using So-Called Hair Recovers when they learn that they are harm ful. Therefore, they can not be sold under the same name for any length .of time. Then the identical, Worth- Yens harmful concoctions are given new names and advertised again as totally different preparations to Defraud the Same Foolish Women who innocently buy them over and over again under different names, and this will continue as long as women are so unwise as to experiment with unknown, so-called hair removers. Mi iiraeis Has Stood the Test of Time De Miracle has been sold as De Miracle for over eleven years, and its name has never been changed. It s acknowledged the world over by emi nent authorities as the cne safe, per-* fected hair remover, therefore it is the only depilatory you can use with out experimenting.

It is w’orth bearing in mind that al most without exception the men who were the great heart smashers of his tory were not only plain of face, but some of them grotesquely hideous. So no man need despair on account of his lack of pulchritude when he wants to take a hand at the game of hearts. He Should Shave. Rut where mere regularity of features in a man counts for little in attracting a woman's fancy, a man should pay much attention to his clothes and his grooming. Nothing on earth, but the grace of God. keeps a woman in love with a man with a two days’ stubble of dirty bc^ard on his face. Married women stand this because they can’t help them selves; but no girl wants a slovenly, un tidy man, who looks as if he needed to be run through the laundry, hanging about her. All the knocking about the word “dude" comes from masculine lips. No woman joins in that chorus. On the contrary, she feels that the man who comes into her presence ill-clothed, dir ty, neglected looking, not only shpvvs disrespect for her. hut indicates that he lacks judgment, industry and progress iveness. For that if? exactly what being ill-dressed now means. Another thing that women like, and it is an attraction that any in^p can acquire, is a certain ©avoir' fair© that makes* him equal to any situation. A woman likes a man to know how to offer her a chair, to help her on with her wraps, to order a- little dinner. And. she hates with unspeakable loath ing the fellow' who is always making scenes in public, who gets in rows with the theater usher over a mistake about the seats, or the street car conductor about the change, or who sits up like a graven image of w'rath every time any body drops in while he Is calling. "Chump,” says the girl to herself, "he hasn't got enough sense to knfow only the ignorant have to fight to get their rights.’’ Women like generous men, but even girls have u contempt for men who spend more than they can afford. It is not the youths who waste all their substance on bonbons and theater tick ets and violets who are the most pop ular with the fair sex. Every girl has what she calls her "candy beau," but she seldom marries him. The best way to touch a girl’s heart is not by upset ting her digestion. An important point to remember here is that the man who would curry favor by means of gifts must give discreet ly. A woman would rather have a pres ent that cost 5 cents if it represented I some especial taste or fancy of hers ) than one that cost $50 if it was some thing that had no personal significance. Don’t Be a Clam. In conversation, cultivate a happy medium. Be neither a continuous mon ologue performer nor yet a clam. Be fore you take the floor and devote hours to expatiating on how you can keep books or play ping-pong or take snap shots, be sure the girl is really inter ested in you. After a woman is in love, she can sit entranced for days lis tening to a man tell ubout the kind of collJt button he wears, but if she isn't tCODAICS "Th« Bast Plntihlna and KnUra- ln.j Tn«t Can Ba Practiced.* f&atmau KUxns and <'otn plfcU- atock amateur auppMen. „ p? for -of-town cuatoraera. fiend for Catalog and Price List.

KIRK. in love, a steady stream of personal reminiscences gets on her nerves, and she wants a change. Besides she de sires to talk about herself. For pity’s sake, though, help out with the conversation From the time a girl is old enough to understand any thing she is taught that her chief end in life is to entertain man, and every where you go you can see her conscien tiously at. work trying to do it. Every mother’s daughter of us knows what It is to labor, and perspire, and toil, try ing to make conversation with some man who is just as unresponsive as a store dummy and as silent as the Sphinx. It isn’t a fair division of la bor, and If a man wants to see true gratitude let him chip in and help roll the conversation ball along. “Be bold, he bold, be not too bold.’’ Women hate a timid man, and they de spise the one who takes it for granted that he has only to throw the handker chief to have every girl scramble for it. Learn how to pay compliments as if you mean them. Don’t apply flattery with a trowel. Few women are fools. Don’t tell a woman the first time you see her she is the ideal you have been seeking for many years. - Seven hun dred other kliots have told her that be fore. Don’t quote sentimental poetry to a girl. It always makes her want to gig gle. Don’t give in too much to a woman. If she has good sense she won’t want you to sacrifice your taste or principles, and, if she is unreasonable, she will re spect you for mastering her. Finally, beloved—and if you forget all the rest remember this—don’t stay too long when you go to call. More men queer themselves right here than they do anywhere else. No living human being is entertaining for more than 3( minutes at a time or endurable f«»r more than two hours at a stretch. In that time every man chn say everything he has got to say worth hearing, and if he lingers along until the clock begins to yawn in his face, he is simply defying fate and Inviting disaster. Many a good impression is spoiled by too much of it And when you get up to go, go as if you were flred out of a gun. Don’t lir ger for tender farewells and last words* Most girls w r ear shoes three sizes to- small for them, and when a man keeps one standing on the doorstep while he makes his adieus she isn’t saying, like Juliet: "I could say good-by, good-by, ’til it be morning." On the contrary, she Is regretting that all the stories about papa’s boot and the swift waft out are fiction instead of fact, and she would be willing to pay out good money to anybody who would accelerate Ro meo’s descent of the steps. Of course, no general rules can be laid down for winning the, fancy of the fair sex. What has been said pretends tc be no more than the most elementary facts, but a guarantee goes with each suggestion that It will work. I HAVEN’T quite made up my mini yet whether Bobbie shud lern a trade or a professhun, sed Ma to Pa yesterday. Sumtimes* I think it wud* be nice if he cud lern a trade, .v aggenn I think a trade is kind of commonplace. A professhun is so professional, sumhow, so distin guished, sed Ma. I guess there are a lot of yung law yers in the big cities that doant see anything vary professhunal about a professhun, sed Pa. If 1 were a yung man aggenn, Pa sed, I wud a lot rath er-work steddy at a trade than pro fess at a professhun. Bobbie, what do you want to be? I toald Pa thare was three things & I dident know wich one of the three 1 wanted to be the moast, a pitcher like Dent; or a elevator boy, or a poet. Pitchers and poets are born, not made, sed Pa, & a elevator boy isent any kind of job for you wen you grow up. If I thought you cud be a po.»? like me or a. pitcher like Dent, sed Pa. I wud tell you by all meeps go abed & try to be one or the other, but thare ain't many Dents & thare ain't many me’s, sed Pa. Dear me, sed Ma, & wen did you beecum grate? Dident I rite that poem that I red at the bank wet the other nibe wen I was toastmaster, sed Pa, and dident all the men thare say that it was the work of a geenyus? The men was kind of enthused too much, I guess, sed Ma. I guess that a certain amount of champagne will make men stand for almost anythin: in liter-ature. Doant talk to m about that pifem, sed. Ma. If you cal' that art, you are a blacksmith. i found two of the verses in yure coo. pocket after the bankwet, Ma sed. * I must say that you are no Milton, i tell you the poem met with grate applause, sed Pa. & you remember what I jest toald you about champane, sed Ma > Bob bie. she sed to me, if you think this ^s good poetry, you are a chip of the old block. Listen: All brethren we stand together to- nite. Where all the lites are shining brite. Met here in friendship’s strong em brace We can look each other in the face & know that all of us is men, Wich is a good thing now’ & then. The world needs men like us to fight For truth & the eternal right I & the reason eech one of tis thrives & supports ourselfs and our wives Is beekaus of that brain power we possess That i.^ the cause of our grate suc cess. * So all of us brethren gathered here Have little if anything to fear, Jest so we keep on working hard & continued success will be our re ward. Now, Bobbie, sed Ma, I want you to be a honest littel boy. If you had yure choice between beeing a ele vator boy & that kind t»f a poet, wich wud you be? I wud be a elevator boy, I toald j Ma.

An iron hand seemed to be gripping her throat and stifling her. She steadied herself and faced her parents as she drew away from her father’s encircling arm. He still held the paper In his trembling hand. Beside him was his wife, aghast and silent, her thin Angers nervously twisting the handkerchief she held. The girl spoke quietly and steadily: “Mr. Chaig may not have been hurt, sou know’,’’ she reminded her father. “The first reports of accidents are often exaggerated.” She turned away and went down the hall to her own room, closing her door behind her. She took off her hat and put it away, then lifted the books from her dressing table, on which she had just laid them, and arranged them on her desk. All these actions she per formed with care, yet she moved as in a dream. She stood, looking about her as If searching for some oiher duty to perform, but, finding nothing, sudden ly flung herseif on her bed and lay there, silent/ staring wide-eyed into the gathering dusk. At the end of a half hour her mother knocked timidly at the door. “May I come In, Mary?” she asked in a low voice. “Are you asleep?" The girl drew herself to a sitting pos ture on jhe edge of her bed. "Come in* mother," she said, dully. "No, I haven’t been asleep. 1 was just lying down and—thinking.’ 7 “The parent laid a cool hand on her daughter’s forehead. "Poor little girl!" she murmured. "Poor little girl! I know this new’s was a terrible shock to you.” Mary stirred irritably under her moth er’s touch./ "Of course, it was a shriek,” she said coldly. “It is always terrible to hear of accidents of that kind." She paused, then steeled’ herself to utter what she would not acknowledge was a deliberate falsehood. “But I have been thinking it might have been much worse. Suppose there had been on that train someone whom we really cared for.” \ Mrs. Danforth looked In silence at the speaker; theii, bending over, kissed her and left the room. Mary sat for a moment longer motionless on the side of her bed. Then she bowed her face upon her hands and closed her eyes. Dinner that night was a dismal af fair. The gloom *of the accident op pressed all minds. Mr. Danforth was nervous and talked of nothing but the w’reck, inveighling against the careless ness of the railroad officials, the in difference corporations showed for hu man life, and explaining how the dis aster might have been avoided—dwelling on the subject until Mary felt as if she could bear it no longer. When the meal was at last over, Mary, remarking briefly that she must go back to her studying, went to her own room again. Her parents remained at the table, chatting, while the man of the house smoked his post prandial cigar. "I am glad that Mary doesn't take {hi© news any more deeply to heart.’’ remarked the father with masculine ob tuseness. "I was afraid that she was beginning to think too much of Craig and that if he was hurt or killed it must break her all up." His wife shook her head with the scorn that a woman always shows for a man's lack of perception. "She feels It more than she knows herself," she remarked enigmatically. “Bosh!” exclaimed Mr. Danforth. ‘Mary isn’t the kind to keep such a trouble as that to herself. Of course se liked the chap—and she is dis tressed to think that he may have been injured, or worse. But you told me yesterday that you fancied she was be ginning to care a good deal for him. She wouldn’t be so calm if she did. She regards him only as a pleasant acquain tance.” In her own room Mary bent over her hooks and tried to study. She attacked the preparation for to-morrow’s recita tions with a determination to banish all other matters from her mind. “Any thing to keep from thinking!” she whis pered to herself. "This suspense Is awful—but It may be better than to know the truth." A lump of ice seemed to be pressing upon her heart, but she worked on. It was late when ~.ie extinguished her gbt, yet dawn was graying her win- dowoanes before she fell into a troubled slumber. * Her eyes were heavy when he dragged herself into the dining room that morn ing. Her father was opening the morn ing paper which lay beside his plate. With a sickening contraction of her throat the girl watched him scan the first page of the sheet. Suddenly he .tarted to his feet. "Hear this!” he exclaimed, excitedly, “ ‘Texan Hero of Railroad Wreck; Gor don Craig Rescues Three Women From burning Pullman; Is Himself UnhurU” Mrs. Danforth uttered a low cry of alarm, and at the sound the reader dropped his paper and sprang forward. Mary had slipped quietly from her chair to the floor. She had fainted. The parents’ eyes met in a significant look as they both bent over the pros trate girl. "I told you so!" said the mother gravely. To Make a Hit With Women :: By Dorothy Dix Superfluous Hair Truths
