minis are working upon their output,
results are by no means satisfactory.
The average value OF the ore in the
camp, he says, is quite high, some OF 1t

THE ART OF PLEASING

The art of pleasing, which used to be
considered quite enough of a profession to
satisfy the soul of any female, seems to-day
in the reaction against such an extreme
view in some danger of being thrust into
place dishonorable.
True, it takes time to acquire this gentle
and valuable art, and true, it takes money
indirectly, for time is coin for the modern
woman whose work is worth its hire. But
no amount o. direct money earned or in
herited can buy the genine art to please.
1t is born with some women, as intangible
as a gossamer web. seemingly a nothing
until it clings about the face in forest
walk, not to be lightly brushed aside. To
deliberately acquire and weave so delicate
fibre takes, not coin, but heart and hand
labor.
"Now," asks the modern woman, sis
public career, my home life, my social
duties, my power to dress well, and cult
vate also the art of pleasing?'
Unless you do all this and more, NADIA
me or MAIDEN oiselle, you are not a typical
modern woman The blown feminine
flower of this decade must have the broad
est influence of Il public career, the
| sweetening of home life, the power which
social inhuance undoubtedly gives, and
the arts of dressing well and of pleasing
must be included under the general head
ing "womanly."
How one human body can support this
many sided strain is an end of the century
marvel, but women are noted down the
ages for their powers of endurance, and
certain it is if they now let slip but
single one of all these gradually acquired
attributes, they will miss it sadly at every
turn.
