WARMING TO GIRLS.

Scarcely dry plssess without its
newspaper story of some young wo-
man who met a man SO interesting that
she thought she couldn't live without
him, SO she married him in haste and
afterward learned Il hat he was an ex-
convict or brute. or already had a
wife or two from whom he had separa-
ted without the formalty of a legal
divorce. In such cases the blame is
laid upon the man, wio generally de-
serves more abuse than he gets. But,
girls, look at the matter seriously few
minutes and see if the trouble might
not have been avoided if you h2d not
been in too much OF a hurry.
Marriage means partnership for life;
DEGREES of divorce are merely txcep-
tions that prove he rule. Would any
man enter into business partnership
with as little knowledge of the other
party as you Seem satisfied with? Well,
no-not unless he were a sweet-souled
lunatic. Talk is cheap, girls; it can be
made to order as fast as the tongue
can run, especially when there is
pretty face to inspire it and Two ears
willing to receive it.
Don't fear that some other girl will
get the fellow unless you secure him at
once. A fish that any other can catch
isn't worth throwing line for. Play
him to find out whether he amounts
to anything. If he becomes impat-
lent and dashes away, why, follow

For the privilege of wearing trousers
the French Government charges wo-
men tax of from 81 to e2 los, year.
This by no means gives every woman
who is willing to pay the tax a right to
wear trousers. The Government in
stead confers the right as tribute to
great merit. Trousers are, in fact, a
sort of decoration given to women as
the ribbon of he Legion of Honor is
given to men. The only women to
whom has been granted the right to
wear trousers are George Sand, Rosa

if she has begun life by being as
slender as birch tree or telegraph
pole, she may ssrenely possess her soul
while her waist measures increase.
But if she is ali average woman there
is trouble ahead for her unless she be-
gins in time to make war upon that
"adipose tissue"
1t will do her no good to lace more
tightly. That will only cause the uE-
even and awkward distribution of flesh.
She must adopt more heroic measures
If she would be sylph. Does she
drink chocolate, cream or sometimes a
glass of humble beer? She must give
up these luxuries. Does she enjoy pc
tato puree and potatoes au gratin? She
must avoid them. Are sweets and
starches to her liking? She must shun
them.
Perchance she likes to loll around on
cushioned divans, to patronize cars
when she might Walk, to stay indoors
when it rains. Unless she wishes to
be stout she must yield these comforts
and delights upon the altar of slimness.
She must exercise, not by (its and starts,
but daily. If possible she should take
course of gymnastI; lessons, but
that, after all, is rather for the supple
ness and ability to carry weight with
grace than for actual reduction of flesh.
Reduction of flesh comes only as the
result of vigorous daily exertion. A
five-mile walk-not a stroll-or a ten
mile bicycle ride daily is an excellent
flesh reducer.
