WHICH, BEAUTY OR BRAINS.
From the Emporia Republican.

From the Emporia Republican.
do Men Care for Erudition in
Women" was subject recently dis
cussed By a woman's league in New
York. Miss Starr, who presented the
subject. said that the idea was suggested
10 her by reading few lines written by
Herbert Spencer: Men care little for
erudition in women, but very much for
physical beauty, good nature and COM
mon sense. Bow many conquests does the
blue stocking make through her extensive
knowledge of history? What man ever
fell in love with woman because she
understood Italian: Rosy cheeks, laugh
ing eyes, and finely rounded figure are
far greater attractions" Miss Starr de-
clded 10 question her own counlrymen
regarding their ooinions, and found that
only two out of eight-and these were
all bachelors-wanted intelligence in
preference to other qualities. One didn't
care for beauty, but the young woman's
''ciothes must fit" one wanted a clever
woman to talk to, but DIDN'T care to
marry woman WHO murderer English,
neither did he desire her to be able to
translate Greek. 4 newspaper man,
when questioned, was considerably ex-
cited and replied: Beauty is a great
factor, but she must have intelligence
and must not nag" In the discussion
which followed there was a general
agreement that personal attraction was
a far more potent charm with man than
any amount of eruditlOn.

There were three rooms, ranging in
size from twenty feet square to ten by
eight. The walls were tastefuliy
ornamented with pictures, and to
crown it all. 4 big upright
piano was one Of the main articles Of
furniture in the largest room. The
whole house was kent as neat as pin,
and was considered a palace OF luxury
by all the neigh bors for miles around
1t even went so far as to have "A win
dow with glass panes in it for every
room
To a stranger, the sight Of a whole
hamlet or village of these dugouts is
novel one. At first he would notice
only number of piles of dirt. each
with one solitary joint of stovepipe
sticking up out of the ground. As he
gets nearer he notices that each dirt
pile has door opening down into il.
Then, perhaps, child will stick its
head out of the door and stand gazing
at him like a prairie dog standing At
the entrance TO its hole. The entire
village will remind him very much OF
a prairie dog town II viii be hard at

But I happened to meet her on the
street the other day as was on my
way to strike you for loan. / was
going to slip past, but she caught me:
said she was just on her way TO get
tickets to the opera. and wouldn't go
with her to select the seats, she had SO
much faith in my Judgment"
After that if l know you, you
went"
Il did. When our turn came / Sc
lectcd the seats, then went through
the motion of putting my hand in my
pocket for the money, though / knew
there was none there. She never said
a word, the ticket seller grinned, and
the man back of me growled a cold
perspiration broke out all over me and
l stammered:
{" Really, Miss Alice, I'm awtully
sorry, but 1 must have left my note
book at the Office. and haven't a cent
with me- You ought to have seen the
look she gave me-
We'll, it was tough, but she under
stood
so she did, but il was a great deal
worse than you think, for she was try
ing to bluff me too-she hadn't cent
either Oh. she'll never forgive me as
long as she lives"
And in the presence of grief like this
consolation seemed indeed hollow
mockery
