taurant and, it thinks, Of one set II claims
that the best OF everything comes to 1t, and
yes Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond,
Chicago, st Louis and San Francisco, each
has more pretty women than this great
city. What they call stylish women, what
they call well-dressed women are plentiful; ;
so plentiful that one tires of them.
l always feel about them as the small
boy did at the dog show. he went with
me, and devoted a whole afternoon to
pointing out to him Just where extremely
well-bred dogs showed their good points; to
telling him the long pedigrees and the
value, even to dog, of a grandfather; aud
when 1t was all over, he looked up In my
face and said: Aunt Bah, where are the
mongrelse They are always 30 much
clevererp That's the way the New York
girl affects me. The mongrels are always
so much cleverer; or perhaps, If said so
much more loving and SO much more I'M

BEAUTIES WHO ARE ADVERTISED,
who are written about, too otter turn out
to have GOLD, vapid faces, and TO look like
the prize cow at a country fair, perfectly
satisfied with themselves. That isn't
beauty, because beauty is nothing without
charm, and charm in woman is feminin-
ity. l came across a curious old book the
other day, book written In 1900, not very
long time after we were discovered, and il
telling OF beauty insisted that woman
should have golden hair, brown eyes and a
skin OF white that Rlowed like ivory. Then,
of course, every part Of her must be 30 per-
feotly formed, and in such harmony, that
nothing will be thought Of except perfection.
And yet, the old writer goes on to say, that
all of this will be as nothing, unless a woman
possesses 'charm." and this Is how be ex-

OF the word, is naught else than the OBJ
servance Of an unspoken law, given and pro-

grace, with modesty. with gentleness, with
measure and dignity, in such manner as
that no motion nor act shall lack rule, and
method, and measure, and purpose; but be
rather, as the tecit law requires, studied,
composed, regular and gracious. And,
whereas, this law may not be taught by
books, nor shown In practice; " is NOS to be
seen in ali fair ladies alike; rather do we
every day see some OF them who are 30 un-

behold them. But she who faithfully OBJ
serves this law, and hath all the parts which
we seek for in true charm, pleases all who
knew her. And IL her features may, per-
chance be faulty, in some small matter,
according to the standard Of certain very
accurate limners, nevertheless, when she
laughs she pleases; when she speaks she de-
lights US; when she is silent she fills every
one with admiration; IL she walks, It is
with grace; IL she sits down, It is with ele-

whatever she does is a marvel" Before we
knew anything about French dressmekers,
whom crushes were counted vulgar, when
protection wasn't dreamed OF, an OLD Italian
wrote this description, which stands just as
well to-day as IL did so many hundred years
ago, and IL describes that delightful some
