FOR MAIDS THAT ARE OR
ONCE WE'RE shy.

Let no young woman be disturbed over
the fact that she is shy, for to be shy, if
one is shy prettily. is to be very charming.
Having become satisfied of the truth OF
this, don't at once be overcome by 1t and
rush to the wrong extreme, for to be shy
prettily one must be shy guardedly. so the
following hints will, no doubt, be eagerly
seized by many girl who, having got
over her shyness, wishes she hadn't, al
though they are directed to the girl who is
really shy-that is, the one who feels her
cheeks become scarlet if she even thinks
anybody Is looking at her, whose heart
beats fast when she is spoken to and whose
limbs actually tremble so when she has to
come into room where there are stran-
gers that she really is miserable instead OF
happy at the party or good time" she tries
to enjoy.
The pretty pink that comes into the
cheeks is very attractive. There is no big
ger compliment in the world than that
same pink and dropping of the eyes at
his regard. Don't Try to face out such
shyness-iet it have its own way. If the
eyelids just won't keep up let them stay
down till you are more at ease. Don't feel
that you must force yourself to behave
like the girls who are quite at ease. That
will be to make yourself affected and
historical and to take the pretty tremble
giggle there instead. Eyes" and "No'
will do very well if they are all you can
say; but be sure to say them as best you
can without letting yourself be sulky be-
cause you can do no better. The person
you are talking to will see that genuine
shyness.is the matter and will like you all
the better for it.
1t is a great mistake to try to cover shy
ness by a kind of crossness that makes the
other person think himself to blame for
your silence. 1t is much better to look up
honestly at him, even if your eyes are AL
full of tears because you feel yourself SO
awkward and stupid and confess that you
are frightened. You may depend upon it
he will be at once so thoughtful, so kind
and so well pleased with you that you will
be at ease in less than no time. The shy
girl often finds herself left alone, and this,
making her feel she is not ga success y
causes her to suffer the more. Then her
face takes on look of sulky distress that
makes her noticeable and not attractive.
Don't let yourself feel that way. You are
fortunate to get chance to be by yourself
little while, and ii you take it that way it

THE MAN WHO PREsUMEs.

Did he? Well, don't be 30 indignant
abo ut it. A man. as rule, is not aware
that he is presuming, he thinks he is
merely taking advantage of an opportunity
given him, and, remember, how angry
girls are when a man does not take adj
vantage of an opportunity. OF course a
mice grip is not purposely giving men
opportunities to be impertinent or disre-
spectful, but if he is that, it is more prob.
able that he thought you gave such an
opportunity than that he did it with reck-
less disregard of your disapproval. When
a man makes such mistake" he usually
| feels as bad about it as you If he realizes
| it is a mistake, or else, serene IN the belief
| that you gave him the chance and gave il
ia him purposely, he wonders what yor
| are making such a fuss about. That's the
truth of the matter. and now about the
| opportunities girls give.
The only wonder is that men behave as
we'll as they do. Girls seem to depend en-
tirely upon mems good taste and self-con-
troll and very little upon their own be-
havior to insure them respectful treatment.
That's more truth of the matter. Ii a
Young woman crosses her feet and tucks
one prettily shod toe high in the round OF
the chair in front of her she must be clever
enough to do it with faultless air of un-
consciousness or the man is quite justified
in taking the move as a challenge to his
attention to the pretty ankle. He may
feel justified in letting the offender see
that he takes advantage of the opportunity
given him, and he might. not knowing her
very we'll. or thinking the challenge war
ranted it, be unpleasant. Then she must
get out of it as best she can and afterward
leave such tricks alone. If she was really
just thoughtless she may be as distressed
as she likes. If he sees the distress is
genuine he will be very sorry, but all the
same he is not really to blame.
1t is the same way when girls are alone
travelling, perhaps, or through their own
carelessness or bravado do without escort
in public place. They imagine that men
must know by instinct that they are ladies.
Well. maybe if the girls are really be-
having very carefully the men may know
by instinct, or the men may take the situa-
ton as challenge, and it really is, yon
know. If you get spoken to, !" better take
it as if you are sure the intent was respect
full. Be gentle, grave and quiet about it.
Ten to one the man will be jolly. glad you
supposed he was behaving the gentleman
instead of the .e1perimenter, and get out OF
it promptly, with every effort to support
the mistake you seem to have made. AS
for you, don't set. him down as lead, u
but remember that you were taking
chances, and remember not to lead an
other man to join you in your mistake at
any another occasion.

Our clothes this season are all, as far as
styles and colors are concerned, very con-

many attempts to introduce outre dress.

though never regarded them with horror,

pirate clothes for every occasion which
may arise should always have complete
suit of semi-mourning, as funerals are
among our small obligations, and stress is
laid on our attendance.
Speaking of our linen it is q matter of
surprise to me that men who spend law
ishly in other directions will wear revers-
ible cuffs. Such fearfully bad style. you

tate to do such a thing, and in Europe
such cuffs are almost unknown. 1t an

Englishmen are wearing the absurd

There is woman in this City-perhaps
there are score, but only know OF one
who, when attired in gown which she
feels suits her and is of the latest style, Is
condescending in her manner, If you are
similarly CARRIED, but if you are not she Is
positively aggressive. However, II things
are reversed she is not un pleasant to meet
A pity, is it not, that she has never really
understood, if she has ever heard OF, the
story about piggy's ear, otherwise she ne
would not, as the boys say, "glVe herseII

when one places such dependence on eloth-
ing they have but little else in their favor,
and then comes the EN- barrassing question,
"Who is she, anyway"

feeling OF placidity, which deepens INTO

shyness is not pretty. Look at the others
having good time, and think how nice it
is to get a chance TO see it all without being
expected to do anything yourself. This is
sure to make you forget your own lack of
ease, and then half the battle is gained
gained very prettily, too.

CHICAGO Ill. Sept. 26.-The shorts in wheat
apparently overstepped the mark in their selling
yesterday and this morning found offerings little
scant- This led to firmness at the opening and to
slight advance during the first few moments
after which the market fell into a condition of in
activity with prices holding at about one quotation
throughout the morning. There was no trading
worthy of note and the news was confined 10 the
