THE HANDSOME MAN

Having lately read several articles in
Your paper concerning beauty, l thought
| would give You my views OH that sub
jet. am an intense admirer of b auty,
especially in men, women and children.
| have learned by experience, however,
that handsome people are no: always
good people. If go into store to pur
chase. | would much rather be waited
upon by Il girl who is plain or only pas
SADLY good looking, than one who is de-
cide,!ly handsome. Some handsome
shop girls are anxious to please custom
erS, but many of them are not. Many Of
them assume IA naughty air of inditier-
ence, which repels buyers. 1t seems to
be expected of women that they shall be
handsome, while men can get along very
well with little OF no beauty, but when
you do meet a handsome man he is TWEEN
ty times more conceited than handsome
woman. 4 woman's head isn't turned
half SO often by admiration as mans.
have often wondered why this is, and
haven't decided whether it is because if
4 woman is handsome and attractive she
gets her full share of admiration and re-
ceives it as her due, and doesn't concern
her head much about it while it lasts; or,
because there is some element in man 8
nature which renders him more suscepti-
BILE to tiattery than woman. A lady
friend "f mine says it is the latter. She
has Leen teacher of both sexes for .
number of years, and she ought to know
what she is talking about. OF course
there are many handsome mcu of whom
have no knowledge, but, without ex-
ception, the handsome men have known
have been weak, vain, egotistical, and il
You were fool enough to put any conf
dence in them, you found out sooner or
later to your sorrow, that Your house

been everyone's experience, but it has
been mine, and the result is that | dis
trust all handsome men and wouldh' t

handsome man of my acquaintance, and
