The ssLaIiess M an -

By his air and gait, the ultra fashionable
style Of his clothing, the killing curl Of his
mustache, the "look and die" expression of
his simpering face, his stream of small talk,
ind sundry other signs and tokens Of q
plethora of vanity, and a lack of soul and
brain, you may distinguish at glance the
individual who plumes himself upon being q
''ladies' man." His belief in his own irresist-
ibility is written al over him. And to say
the truth. your ladies' men have some
able that girls do sometimes fall in love, or
what they suppose to be love, with fellows
who look as ii they had walked out Of tailors'
fashion plates-creatures who by the aid Of
the various artists who contribute to the
make up" Of human popinjays have bee con-
verified into superb examples of what art can
effect in the. way Of giving man an unmanly
appearance. The woman who marries one of
these flutterers is to be pitied; for if she has
any glimmerings of common sense, and q
heart under her bodice, she will soon discover
that her dainty husband has no more of a
mans spirit in him than an automatic figure
on Savoyard's hand organ. Blu; woman
worth . true mans love is never caught by
such specimen of ornamental hollow ware.
A sensible woman is, in fact, terror to
ladies men," fer they are aware that her PEN
Grating eye looks through them, and sounds
the depth of their emptiness. She knows the
man indeed from the trumpery counterfeit,
and has no touch Of the mackerel propensity
to jump at tleshy bait in her wholesome
composition. The ladies' man should be per-
mitted to live and die a bachelor. His voca-
ton is to DANCE after the sex, to talk soft
nonsense, to carry sh.wls and fans, to astonish
boarding sch"ol misses, and to kindle love
flames as evanescent and harmless as the fiz
of squib. If, however, he must needs be-
come Benedick, let him be yoked to some
vain and silly flirt, his natural counterpart.
So shall the law of fitness not be outraged.

l need not tell you how wild with joy the

Tho baby in bed next morning; they almost
fought over the little fellow, and from that
day forward it was their greatest pleasure to
