NEATNESS WINS A MAN.
'Madge" Has just Heard of a Pleasant In
stance of the Kind.

''nIadge" Has just Heard of a Pleasant In
stance of the Kind.
Dearest Amy: A man we know has
] just proposed to and been accepted by n
girl, and he came on to tell us all about
being "the happiest man in the world"
ETC., etc. After some portion of his rap
| lures had been exhausted | remarked
| that as is usual in such cases, the con-
tracing parties were the very last we
should have imagined likely to single
each other out from the rest of the world
for life partnership. Whereupon our
friend observed that the first thing that
had ATTRACTED him to the girl was her
exquisite neatness. Now, Amy, had
always been under the impression that
neatness, like cleverness and love of
plain sewing, was one of those respecta-
BILE qualities that are excellent for max
ing cages after marriage, but not of the
smallest use in the manufacture of nets
in which to secure ones prey before
hand. You see, was wrong, or else
this case is exceptional.
Our friend proceeded to say that he
was sick and tired of untidy girls, with
nothing dainty about them, and no
white lace, or linen or tape, or whatever
it is called, round the necks OF their
dresses. ''1ape" Dead tired of girls
whose gowns dipped into the mud or
dust OF the street at every step. Sick of
girls with loose bags in the front of
their bodices, which always reminded
him of pelicans. Weary of girls with no
neatness OF finish either to themselves
or their sleeves, and with hair Hike hay-
cta q al
snow, and rounded to perfection, he
said, he could not admire them IL they
emerged from sleeves that ended in
hard bands of stuff with no relief from
the color of the gown itself.
never thought that men noticed these
little things much, but suppose they
do. The lady OF his choice is certainly
one OF the neatest of human beings.
Some people are born neat; others
achieve neatness. Lucy belongs TO the,
first category, and with constant prae-
tice she has achieved perfection in tho
art. She wears her hair coiled in the
glossiest brown folds, with little baby
ish fiuh or fringe in front each indi-
vidual curl OF which has its brilliant
glt a.u- We have often asked her how
she manages to keep her hair so beauti-
fully, and she always laughs and says,
"Yelk of egg once fortnight, and a
good brushing every night" Hers is
one OF those delicate tinted skins that
convey the idea of purity TO tho mind,
but she is not otherwise pretty. We
often call her Jane Eyre, because she
makes us think of Charlotte Bronte
heroine. ] do not know what Jane wore
around her neck, but ] am sure that.
whatever the arrangement was, 1t was
neat almost to primness. Lucy's collars
and cuffs are always immaculate, gilt
tering with the CLASSY gloss Of ironed
starch. ! never saw button missing
from her gloves.--Madgs. In London
Truth.
