attentions of men in the street and in public
conveyances, must not expect any sympathy
from the sensible feminines who know that
such conduct does not augur the possession
OF superlative attractiveness, but is rather an
evidence of unseemly behavior on the part
the one accosted. Nine times out of ten she
has either chosen to attire herself conspcu-
ously or acts in such a way that notice is
invited. No man in his senses will speak tc

bedraggled. Wear dark skirts, dark stock
ings and well-ftting shoes. In no place i,
the world do the feet play such prominent
part as III a steamer chair. They are contin-
ually in evidence. Therefore, have every
button firmly in its place and look out for
those SMALL insidious dropped threads that
soon run into unsightly holes in the hosiery.

When your husband assumes highly vir-
tuous air and talks about his superior line of
morality just tell him that ii the world trusted
him in accordance with his own views YOU

but as it Is, if you do manage to have COM
