woman's Most Desirable Gift.

Tn one of our most intimate and
confidential talks dear girl asked
me to tell her what l think thu
most desirable gift for a woman.
She spoke of several friends-one
Of them as having grace OF move
ment. another as rarely beautiful
with brilliant eyes and lovely COM
plexion; a third as accomplished,
playing and singing and speaking
several different languages besides
her own, and fourth as very clev--
er. We may multiply the list, and
as we look over our circle OF friends
we easily see that nearly every one
has something brightand individual
which commends her to us; but
the sum Of the matter is that the
Gift of all gifts for girl is express
ed in one little word--charm.
If Won insist on my defining
charm. I am afraid l will disap-
point you, for it is as difficult OF
ANALYSIS as a perfume. The better
way. if l could manage it, would be
to show you somebody who has 1t,
as l would show you painting on
the wall or a flower in the garden.
Very plain girls and women are
sometimes endowed with this grace.
