friend knew that this girl, although
the daughter Of fashionable clergy

such presents.
She sent for the detective, and talked
over the matter with him; then, to-

the girl before them, and she confessed
what her hostess had forgotten that,
while the hairdresser was in the bath
room getting hot water, her friend left
the room TO speak to the butler and
she was alone there. Then she took
the bracelet, case ana all, put it in her

She had sold the bracelet to jeweler,

man to whom she was engaged had to be
told of this affair. The engagement
was broken.
Now, | never hear of this girl being

When it was all over the poor hair

think that, after years of service, her
honesty could have been questioned.

not missed expensive trinkets, dainty
bits of brio a brac, and odds and ends OF
lace or silk? Servants don't want these
things. When they steal they take
something that can easily be converted
into money, or money itself. But the
little belongings that are only appre-

when they disappear. usually taken by

somebody asked me what sort of man
a woman likes. She is usually pleased
by man who has that most exquisite
of all enamels over the true gold of his
heart-guod manners.
She likes man who is considerable

She likes a man who dresses we'll,
il what he did wear was by order of his
tailor.
She does not like a man who is
effeminate.
She likes manly hand, but it must
be one which is kept in good order.

able to sing we'll, talk we'll and dance
we'll. he will be that much more popu-
lar. hut it ia more important that he
should know how to control horse,
row boat, and pitch ball since they
are specially manly accomplishments
A woman likes man who doesn't
talk about himself, but who does talk
about her.
She likes bis respect, his reverence,
his admiration.
She likes to think Of him as a good
business man, able to win his own
way in the world, and therefore indie
pendent.
She likes TO think that, il the house
catches on fire he'll keep cool, save her

deeds.
Nowadays, there ia no fighting in the

She likes to win man to her way o.
