How Character May Be Stud
led From the Wording Of
an Advertisement.
More People Read Wants Than
Any Other Kind Of
Matter,
And the Globe Has More Such
Advertising Than Any Of
It's Competitors.

After the fashion and social pages of
the Sunday paper are read. woman
turns to the want columns. Why? Ask
Eve why she cultivated the acquaint-
ance of snake when she had Adam.
and why she ate apples when she could
have pears and peaches? Curiosity, my
dear sirs, curiOSity-the same kind that
history tells US once killed a cat,
that history has never known woman
to live Without-the keen desire tOlearn
just enough about her neighbOrS to war
rant her in imagining great deal.
There is more clear enjoyment for a
woman in few wants of other people
than any amount of her own possessions
can give her, since it is by knowledge
of what person wants that we gain
knowledge of what he has, or is.
From even the superficial necessities
proclaimed in the ''want" columns
of the Sunday paper, woman's intuitive
faculty enables her to make his
woman who knows the world well
enough to appreciate the wisdom of
taking precautions against being mis-
understood who advertised in last SUM-
days GLOBE:
SITUATION wanted by young lady as
~ companion to some lady.
A less experienced person would have
made the mistake of supposing the
world would assume that she did not
want situation as companion to some
man, and would neglect to so plainly
specify the sex of the individual
she sought to bestow genteel affection
ate attention upon, at stated sum
per week. One can fancy Becky Sharp
framing want advertisement of that
sort. This young woman will never
commit the only real sin on the worlds
Observation-Disclosures When she OBJ
tains her situation and finds the old
lady to whom she is to sing psalms and
read BuDyan's pilgrim Progress'' has
like all old ladies who hire compan-
ions do have in novels and ON the stage
"a bad but fascinating son, she will not
save at arms length, and with highly
proper consideration for the old lady'S
will-last will and testament-will not
permit him to marry her without the
consent of his mother. Then, when
she is married. she will dress with
studied simplicity, and will assume
becoming expression of humility when
she is introduced to the 400, who will
approve her modesty and say:
''HOw well she remembers to
keep her place." They will be
at once disarmed. Those who
go to snub will remain to admire and
invite her to their winter display of
hospitality from to 9 one Thursday
afternoon, and before they know it, she
will have the social reinS in her own
hands. Gowned by Worth, at the end
of the season she will have entertained
the German club, ,dined at the Town and
Country, and during Lent will add the
last jewel to her crown of glory by in
stituting society for the amehOration
of the condition of needy companions
who do not understand the art of adyer-
tising.
A YOUNG refined dressmaker with ref
n erences desires well furnished alcove
room and working room, where board can
be had; no signs. Address II. R., The Globe.
That want is designed to entrap the
innocent and unsOphisticated On the
face it is perfect poem. 1t smacks of
Browning in brevity of expression and
rich suggestions. 1t hints of better days
that are no more, out of which her
refinement and present necessity grew:
it hints at heroiSm, else when her gem
tlemanly parent who bought real estate
at the wrong time died, she would have
her fathers mortgages, even though
she did not love him. instead of going
out into cold, hard clearinghouse
world to earn poor bread and worse
butter at dressmaking; but, most forci-
bly,, the nice Difference to land
lady's whim, which the assurance
mo signs" conveys, bespeaks her a con-
siderate, amiable young person, given
to sacrificing her own interests to an
others fancy-a bOarder beyond price.
The woman who wrote that advertise
ment should have been born man with
the opportunity of becoming a politi-
clan. She lies so admirably. She is old,
or she would not think to mention that
nish or she would not think to say that
she is refined. She depends on the
strength of her bare assertions to gain
point. consequently is dangerous. She
would bluff ballet girl out of her
skirts.
A MEXICAN WIDOW wishes situation,
IA housekeeping for widower with no
small children. Address C 1O5, Globe.
There's business ring about that
which makes every Widower who reads
it feel creepy and anxious. Plainly the
liOness is on the path, devOuring on her
own terms. Each widower'S safety lies
only in the accident of her course.
Even his small children can not protect
him, for with the American widow all
things are possible. Though he drop
dead in matrimony on her approach,
so clearly are her terms stated, there is
no reason to believe that she would let
the children continue to live. Generally
speaking, have children any right to
live nowadays. anyhow? The evidence
continually grows stronger that they are
luxury, for the rich only to enjoy.
Heed the tale that wants tell of the ad-
yantages of being childless.
