WOMAN'S CHIEF CHARM.
ONE OF ITS QUALITIES IS THE GRACE
OF EXPRESSING HER OBLI-
CATIONS.


I'VE are given to saying that a woman's CHIEF
charm Is herself" writes Edward l.. Pell In the
September "woman's Home Companion" Just
why We say Il ! am sure do not know. except
that speaking for the masculine SIDE there ~
pleasure in saying gallant things; and, speaking
for both sides there is a relief akin 10 pleasure In
slyly putting aside nut that Is hard TO crack FER
haps. however. 1t Is about as near the truth as
one can come in a general statement. for 1t seems
TO be about settled that must look for the secret
OF a woman's charms not In any OF those graces
which shine out conspicuously like the diamonds
upon her BOSOM but In the blending of certain quie'
qualities which have their home In the depths of
her soul and which unite their rays before they
reach the surface-just as one mist look TOT the
charms OF a womans dress not In any pretentious
ornaments but in the harmonious blending OF quiet
colors and easy lines.
Among those quiet graces which unite their
rays to make the charm which. II 1t eludes our
grasp does fail make itself felt. Is the grace
of thankfulness. do not mean conventional thanks
giving post mortem appreciation. mean that
something within us which perceives. appreciates
and adequately responds to favor. This grace
belongs to mankind In general. but 1t reaches It's
highest development In woman. man may teei
thankful, but he lacks that sensitveness which
makes one conscious Of the smallest favor, and
most Of all the proper media for conveying one
thanks for favor rendered. Only woman IL tully
equipped to express the thanks she feels, ana the
woman who gracefully discharges her debts Of
gratitude is called charming. though we may not
think OF her talent for thanksgiving as having
anything to do with her charm.
There are some graces which we never think OF
except when they out OF sight. Thankfulness
Is one OF them. We turn with disgust from man
In the street who has words In abundance to ask a
favor and not a word TO acknowledge 1t. Just then
think what q repulsiye thing an migrate IL ana
how beautiful s gratitude. But we seldom get an
idea OF ih9Ukfulncss except when II Is conspicuous
for it's absence. How often we look upon ingrat-
tude and spit our contempt upon II! How rare.y
do We pause to take in the charm or a gracc-hlled
wOman's thanksgivngi
We accustomed to go back to the past for
perfect specimens of almost everything The
more studies the American girl OF generation
ago ihe more one IL impressed with this wonder
fu, quiet talent which she highly priced and
10 constantly used. | think that to us men Il
seemed the chief secret OF her charm"
