than any amount Of palmistry, mind or in

Let him. beware of the young woman, how
ever who has a way OF throwing herself
into the biggest, softest armchair in the
room, and l~ounging there in very much OF

have an inclination to sprawl out from

persuasion is pretty certain TO be indolent
and slovenly, and her future spouse may
as well make up his mind to a daily diet
Of wrappers, slippers down at the heel, and
illy-served dinners.

always attractive, often pretty. She is
fond of posing, too, and sometimes as
sumes attitudes a little alarming in their

tall bits of furniture, or perhaps inside q
low window where she can undulate her
body in distorted lines and toy with the
portiere or her own frumperies.

loneliness, with strong muscles and WELL
nourished nerves.
Can anything be more full Of fascination
than to watch the supple the
| graceful pose of the 1.-THE, plant woman as
she goes about her various tasks or takes
her rest.
How reposeful she is as she plays the
her courteous handshake and bend Of a
well-poised head. How bewitchingly she
pours tea or reclines on lounge or low seat
TO chat with a new or old acquaintance.

folds, her laces have just the right fall,
her jewels shine.

a game of golf or quoits, on a friends
yacht, she is the poetry of motion or equal
~ of repose, and a delight to the fortunate
beholder.
When the bachelor, by any piece of good
luck, meets this piece OF divinity, let him
not hesitate for longer than is necessary to
gain her yes. his future. barring accidents,

for him its greatest joy.
