gave a dinner to some of his men friends
and the next day it was told that he had
! exhibited as n prestn from his financee,
a superb rig, set with three rubies. My
| friend knew that this girl, although the
daughter Of a fashionable clergyman, had
not enough money to buy such presents.
| She sent for the detective, and talked
over the matter with him; then, together.
they went to see the girls father. Hor-
! ror-stricken, he brought the girl before
them, and she confessed what her hostess
( had forgotten. that while the hair-dresser
was in the bathroom getting hot water,
! her friend left the room to speak to the
| butler, and she was alone there. Then
She took the bracelet, case and all, put
| in her muif, and while driving with her
friend that whole afternoon carefully
kept her hand on her booty.
She had sold the bracelet to a jeWeler
| taking the ring, which she had given her
betrothcd. and certain amount of money
for it. OF course 1t had to be gotten
back. and equally of course the man to
whom she was engaged had to be told OF
this affair. The engagement was broken.
Now. | never hear of this girl being in

somebody ought to warn her hostess.
dresser was told the truth. She had been
utterly unconscious of the espionage over
her, and she wept bitterly TO think that,
after years of service, her honesty could
have been questioned.
But my friend, all the thieves do not
live on the side streets. Who has not had
fine books disappear? Who has not
missed expensive trinkets, dainty bits of
bric-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 belong
ings that arc only appreciated by women
of fine taste, are, when they disappear,
usually taken by those who realize ex-
actly the delights to be gained by them.
BY the by somebody asked me what
sort Of man woman likes. She is
usually pleased by a man who has that
most exquisite Of all enamels over the
true gold of his heart-good manners.
F, She likes man who is considerable Of
her.
She likes man who dresses wei, hut
she does not want him to look MS il what
he did wear was by order of his tailor.
| She does not like a man who is effemi-
nate.
| She likes a manly hand, but it must be
one which is kept in good order.
| III man is fortunate enough to be able
to sing well, talk well, and dance well he
| will be that much more popular. but it is
more important that he should know how
To control a horse, row n boat, and pitch
a BAH, since they are specially manly
accomplishments.
| A woman likes a man who doesn't talk
about himself, but who does talk about
| her.
She likes his 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 independent.
| She likes to think that if the house
catches on fire he'll keep cool, save her
| first, and then do no end of heroic deeds.
| Nowadays there is no lighting in the
| ring. There is no chance Of a contest
| with bull or a lion, and so a man must
win his spurs in other ways. But wo-
man does adore man who would be,
she is sure, under any circumstances, az
brave and as gallant as Chevalief Bay
ard.
| She doesn't like fool A woman is so
constituted that she often address fool

he ought to be deviled with pin pricks.
She forgets that he might meet a tiger
| without Il culver and be smothered to
death by fly.
| She likes man who, in some peculiar
/ situation, cannot only rise superior to it,
but master it. Indeed, when she is very
real woman, she likes a man who can
master her.
| She likes to win man to her way of
| thinking by feminine persuasion she de-
spises him when she can order him about.
| Sometimes she does this, and then she is
| the mother of children who have only
| fear for their mother and intense love,
but no respect for their father.
She likes man who can buy her
railroad ticket without getting furried
over il as she does, and who can mark,
| on a railroad timetable, just what the
story OF the train means-a something
that to her is like famous Greek riddel.
| Well. / suppose, TO sum it up, one ex-
| plains it best, when one says that a wo
man likes a man who is tender at heart
and bit ashamed of it; loving in reality
and a bit troubled about it; but with y
| nature Of the purest gold, with body
| that Is ESSENTIALLY masculine, wearing
clothes that fit well, having manners that
are good, aad a heart that in time be-
comes hers. That's the sort of man that
would get a medal because he deserves
| it. from BAB.
