1t IS extremely interesting when three or
four attractive women OF fashion, who are
not too Old TO be vain and not young enough
to be glddy. get together and exchange con-
tidences. Their placidity Of retrospection
Is charming and what they say usually has

of this kind was assembled at recent re

when ! look at her." said one of the
complacent ladies, Il am reminded of the
ease with which ali girls can achieve phys
zeal success If they will only do little
studying For years we were telling her
what pretty mouth she had. Il was only
pretty then in crude way, but gradually
she began 70 make the best OF it, and now
the first observation that IS made about her
is sure to refer to her expressive and ex-
quisite lips.
''She had far better basis to stsrt on
than another girl OF my acquaintance, who
was ambitious 20 shine IS belle. This
girl used 20 look at herself ia = mirror and
frankly acknowledge that she was far from
lovely. No feature was delicate, and her
celoring was commonplace TO q degree.
Her hair was just the least bit pretty, but
pretty hair is never remarkable. The
young woman had been out nearly whole
season when one night man said TO her
that she had an original and graceful gait.
she was thrilled. 1t was really he first
honest compliment she had ever received.
She thought it over. and then went 20 work
TO discover what it was in her walk that
called forth the admiration Of the man.
She soon learned that it was slight swag-
ger. an involuntary swaying of the hips
and shoulders. She accented this s~2gger

every one talking about her fascinating
walk. Presently she WAS flattered by see

was sought after by the best men with the
same assiduity that was inspired by the
handsomest bellies. She bloomed, as rose
encouraged by the sun and dew will bloom,
and soon she gloried in the finest figure OF
her set, as well as the most captivating
walk. She WAS, as one clever fellow put il,
the most delicious girl in the back that
mortal eye could wish TO see. 1t would
have been a JOY TO watch her walk thou
sand miles.
well, she was the rage, and made one
of the most desirable matches of the year.
And l tell my girls when they complain
that they are not so pretty as some Of their
friends, that if they are not clever enough
to hit on some attraction TO take the place
OF mere bodily loneliness, by the time they
are twenty they won't be worthy OF a
mother who overcame with the utmost
ease such drawbacks as a turned up nose,
stunningly large mouth, and collection
of freckles that would have fitted out a
whole country school of small boys. New
