Men as Vain as Women.

The vanity of woman is an acknowledged
fact that has been the subject of much
ridicule on the part Of the sterner sex,
who appear to forget when they are
throwing stones Of this character that
they themselves are not altogether with
out flaws. In fact, though little is said
about it, a man is quite as vain as a
woman and shows it in as open a man.

stop 10 watch the maneuvre Of some
well-dressed masculine as he walks down
the street or takes his ride abroad either
in cars or on boats.
The mirror in a shop window is as IT.
resistibly attractive 70 man as 10 q
woman, and il is not always the youngest
and best dressed men either that seem 10
extract considerable enjoyment in re-
garding their own reflection. Shabbily
dressed old men will loiter before a mir
rOr and examine their image with as
much anxiety as does the young beau
starting out to his first dance. Wherever
a mirror is 10 be seen there will be. IL
you will but notice it, men who cannot
resist gazing into II, and though IL may
sound Ike a sweeping assertion, there
are far more pocket mirrors carried by
men than by women and these are
brought into play whenever a man has
few minutes time 10 himself.
These statements are not made to run
down the character OF the men. but 10
show that vanity lives alike In both sexes
Perhaps, after ali, 1t is not vanity that
prompts both men and women to scan
their images so carefully whenever the
opportunity Is offered for so doing. but
II may be the innate desire to detect
faults II there ere any and rectify them
speedily when they are discovered. They
are frequently actions that are attributed
10 vanity, but which are only the out

Therefore when the preacher declares that
