was worth So, and if anybody lived up to it
she certainly would keep any man. He in
toned this: 30, woman, when the man thou
lowest contest near thee, greet him with a
smile; never let him know what it is to see
you looking angry, or hear you speak an
angry word. Make ready for him
the dainties that he loves, and per-
NIT him to be at rest when he IS
in your presence; let him find his great
est joy there, and he will never leave you
for another; care for him only as a woman
can, for the man whom she loves; think of
his comfort day aud night, and make your
self beautiful for his sake; wear the colors
that ne likes, use the perfumes that are
pleasant to him; make him understand that
while he is your lord and master, you choose
him for that because of your love for him.
Obey these laws, and your lover will never
depart from you" Well, now do you think
any man would, if he had all this done for
hims It's marvelously sensible advice, but
Improves to me that there is no disputing
Voudoo's sex-that he is a man, and stands
by the men.
THE ADVICE OF A PROPHET.
One Of our party bought a charm that
was to bring luck in games of chance; it
was small piece Of coral, with a curious
looking figure, it was claimed that it was
seven, scratched upon it in gilt. The ad-
vice accompanying it was this: "Never
play with white-eyed woman OF blue
gummed man. The first will cast an evil
eye upon you and take away your luck; the
second will come to you stealthily in the
night and bite you, leaving the mark of
three teeth on your left shoulder, and from
this you will die. Always play in combi-
nations of seven, and when you feel in doubt
as to your luck, touch the coral with your
hand, and Voudoo will send you his messen-
ger, and good luck will come in your direc-
Pa Cd I o. l.
young woman who bought this was friv-
olous aud she said If Voudoo's messenger
would always give her four sevens at poker,
and let her get a seven to one horse every
time at the races she would send down and
buy several bucketsful of charms The
Voudoo prophet glared at her. and I have
had an idea that he gave her an evil eye
Immediately after that she had q violent
pain in the place where the Chinese say the
soul exists-the unbelievers attributed it
TO combination Of green figs and green
apples, but for my own part l fully
believe the Voudoo gentleman had
cast spell about her. This was one of the
pleasant experiences that came to me ION
the wing / am now a believer in voudoo-
ism, and l expect him and all the little
devils in his service to do my bidding, and
| am perfectly certain he is going to finish
up my enemies in one round. Voudoo seems
to be an obliglng sort of a god; he will
knock out an enemy for you at reduced
rates with even more pleasure than he will
buy you a sweetheart at a high price. His
humanity makes him attractive.
WHEN MEN WE'RE "CoURTIERs" AND
WOMEN LADIES"
There is another thing l have seen while
l have been ION the wing" Some of the
great, big, splendid houses that were built
to last forever. And you know that, as you
look at those houses, you can understand
how the people who inhabited them were
dignified and courteous. You could no
more imagine New York girl in tailor
made suit slanging it at Monticello or Ar
lington than you could seeing the old
houses themselves arise from their founda-
tons and do a waltz They belong TO the
days when ladies were called Madam
and never rode bicycles; when the men
used courteous words and were ready to
shoot men who spoke lightly of women. It
is impossible when you are in these places
not to realize what surroundings mean.
The gentlefolk lived up to their houses in
those days, and their houses expressed dig
nifty and durability. To-day we are in flats
and clearinghouse, and houses that spring
up in night. There are no associations at
tached to them, we are not called on 10 re-
spect them, and we grow idle and indiffer-
emit. There is no doubt about it, my friend,
that there is always more stability in the
world when houses are built TO be homes,
and to last.
