they ask you what you think about
them, and she is lost forever, from the
culture standpoint, who thinks that she
must reply as TO which type of beauty
she prefers, or what she thinks of
beached blondes. No; it is question
of intensity of feeling ana ability to
hold the affections OF man. The vote
is strongly in favor of the blonde as far
as holding the man is concerned, but in
favor of the brunette SO far as affection
goes.
Two positive types, the blondest of
blondes and the darkest of brunetteS,
were talking of it. Said the blonde:
You brunettes always make the mis-
take of being too affectionate. You let
man think that he is the one object i'll
your life and all you live for. He is SO
certain that he grows Indifferent. He
wearies of your careSSeS; he tires Of
your sweet words. You see, you give
HIM too much plum pudding, and he
doesn't appreciate it. Now, the way to
keep a man is to make him love you,
but don't you love him too much. Let
him realize that he is secondary to your
dogs, your fr0eks and your books. When
he is with you be at your best and
brightest. and when you do show him a
favor make him feel it keenly.

''How about his valet?" asked the
blonde, land suppose he should change
his mind, or you should change yours,
and he would marry another woman,
and she would have the pleasure of
reading those letters and crltIcise them?
For my own part [ always follow the
doctrine of the French diplomat who
said: Never write letter and never
destroy letter. " The brunette looked
