FhE TRIPLES OF LIFE WHICH IN
FLueNcE OUR CHOICE.
The Man Who Lecks the Innate Sense Of
the Fitness and Unfftnees OF Things-A
wonans Observation-Disclosures Speech.
Clotheo-Beauty.

I was lying in my hammock the other day
by the way, have it swung across win
bowed corner Of my room these cool autumn
like days-lying there and thinking what the
things were which women did specially like in
men-of course | am writing now of nice
men and nice wonderland came to the con-
clusion that the things which particularly
influence US In our choice among men were
the little things.
Yes, the little things, the trifea A man
may be an Apollo for beauty, but If he says
mo, mas am" and yes, ma'amn to you when
be should say ''yes" and " nor adding your
name when necessary, you cannot thoroughly
appropriate him, and he will, for all his per-
lection Of feature, CRATE upon your keen
sense Of wellbredness much as the squeak of
some organs does when it mingfes with the
music. And though the man who wears
diamond studs and pins and diamond ring
flashing on his little finger may be possessed
Of all the virtues under heaven, yet do these
misplaced gems outshins them all in their
glaring vulgar brilnancs. It isn't of course,
the Jewels themseives intrinsically, any
moro than is is The "neau" as simple part
of speech 1t is the Lack Of that innate sense
OF the fitness and un1tnees Of things-that
ohristen it-which all the sterling qualities
and all the heroic characteristics taken to-
gether will never outweigh in the scale Of
truly refined womans fancy.
THE NAN WHO WINS.
An, not Is the man who fails not as to
little things who wins every time. The man
who knows by instinct which side Of the
railway car or which end of the boat Is the
shady one, instead Of gazing helplessly up
and down TO find out, whilst the other man
secures the desirable seats. 1t is the man
who mentally fixes the right station to get
off at and consequently makes no wild
piungin.s-generally to retrace as he discov-
ers his mistake; tho man who knows the cor
rect entrance at a theatre and the portion of
the house in which his seats are located: the
man who can put on your wrap without
turning il inside out few times first, who
can get into his own topcoat minus the Skin
mish that Causes him TO appear as if wres-
thing with sosns intangible enemy-it is this
man, master of tho hte(e things of life-who
wins
The amount Of It all is that a woman must
adm re before she can love 1npoint of fact,
a genuine admiration on either side may
oftener be trusted as an insurance against an
ultimate divorce court than many and many
Of the mad ''falltngs in kove7 of which we
hear too much, and which are not inapt to
guarantee az reckless a failing out" again
II O woman feels insecure about a MANS
not quite positive whether he will do this
or that, quite CORRECTLY; whether he will
be dressed az beflts the occasion, or if he will
be awkward at a moment when savoir faire
seems almost prime factor in being at all
then be sure she is no more sure of her own
heart, her own feelings, than she is Of his
possible behavior. It ID weak of US, l will
admit, but it is, and the more womanly pure,
sweet and charming the woman, the more
certainly is this desire to admire. TO be sure
