The ITCH TO BE SEEN.
Some People Are Always out on
Parade.

some People Are Always out on
Parade.
It is q strange fancy which seizes
some people whose highest delight
seems 10 be reached when they can live
their lives in full sight of the world.
In whatever they do they are literally
possessed with the itch to be seen; to be
conspicuous. III they travel. it must
be in the most evident manner. If they
go to the country, only the most crowd
cd places win answer. If they go to
the theater, the very acme of their hap
piness is attained when they sit in a
box. If they drive, it is invariably in
the showiest turnout. If they affect
the bicycle, either in their dress or in
the ornamentation of their machine
they must be unlike other people, If
they promenade, it must be along the
most prominent thoroughfares. When
they affect dress, it is invariably to
overdress. They must have the most
conspicuous table in the hotel dining
room; the best things on the bill-of-
fare are never good enough; they must
always have extras. They must do
something that they may be singled out
from other people. They must be in
evidence, or they are not happy, and,
oddly enough, too, the people of these
proclivities are never the ones who try
TO impress others with the idea that
they belong to an exalted station in life,
whereas their very actions never fail
to place them where they really do be-
long. Their exact measure is easily
taken. 1t is hard for such people to
accept the fact that the quietest conduct
is ever associated with true worth OF
genuine gentility. 1t is only the vul-
gar class which flaunts itself in the face
of the public. A quiet dress, retiring
manner, q Withholding of opinion;
these are the true marks of the we'll
bred woman. But quietness does not
suit the woman who wishes to make
herself conspicuous. The woman who
places herself in evidence does not rea.
lie that she is being looked at askanct
as well, and by the very people whose
goodly opinion she courts. Well-brec
women are like the dainticst flowers
they grow in the shadiest places. Th'
violet never obtrudcs. The lily-of-the
valley seeks the shadiest nook. And
who win say that these are not among
the sweetest of flowers. Nature is {
wonderful teacher when we study hei
Alright. She has a lesson for us all. The
trouble is we do not heed them. If W.
did we would be wiser. We would
quickly learn that the showiest flowers
are not always the most fragrant. Ma
tlfye's most delicate iace-worl1 she re
serves for the woods; not for the show,
garden of the millionaire. Her mos
beautiful effects of shade and color sh'
works out in the deepestforests. Natur
has not the itch TO be seen, and it woul'
be we'll if some of our women wer'
more IKE her. II they were, they woul'
themselves be very much happier-an'
so would a great many other people,
