Of Apollo you stand 10 chance ~ all, ~
is not mustaches and straight noses that
do the business. Women, bless their
soulsl do not care fig for such things
Only remember few little preliminaries,
and YOU can make them like you even if
your hair is red and your mouth wide.
When you go to make an evening call
don't start too early. Ladies are not
well pleased to be caught before their
curls and basques are arranged. Be par
ticularly careful not to sit down on the
cat or kick the dog across the floor; the
girls are sure to appreciate any one who
knows how to be polite to their pets. If
there's piece of worsted work, admire
it; don't mistake the artificial flowers in
the vase for real; if the young lady is
doing crotchet work ask her if she can't
teach you. Beyond everything, don't
tip back in your chair; for every crack
in the fragile furniture there'll be
worse fracture In your friendship. And
when she begins TO yawn behind her
handkerchief take up your hat and go.
"short and sweet, long and bitter" is
the motto. When you are out walking
with a lady don't go striding along until
she has to run to keep up with you-the-
first thing you know she will run off
home. Notice just how she walks and
modulate your gait accordingly. If she
meets feminine acquaintadce and stops
for a nice little chat, it is essential that
you should not manifest impatienee by
balancing on one foot and then on the
other. If she wants to look into shop
window stop and admire, too, though
you may not know ribbon from a rail-
way station. When you come to cross
ing give her the whole of it, and 60
meekly into the mud. Tell her how be-
coming her bonnet is, and implOre her
to wear it the next time she goes to the
opera with you. If you meet rival
young gentleman at her house, don't be |
rude to hint is the worst policy in |

him; crush him, if you can, with. cour- |
tesy. Never laugh loud in parlor, and
