Thackery has said that II women
knew their power they could marry any
man they wanted. says an exchange.
This Is Just where the trouble lies; they
do not know their power. nor under
stand wherein their charms lie. or
course. there are exceptions 10 this
rule; there are many who understand
only too well and WELD their scopiers
or their swords-with too dexterous
a hand. But there are those who I'M
deryalue themselves. are too retiring
and let the happiness which u meant
for them slip from their grasp. Con-
stantly one sees men and women
brought together who are suited In
temperament and are evidently suited
for each other. But what man Ia &C
much In love he cant find uttcrance
for his passion and the girl 80 much
In love she cannot help him outg The
greatest mistake a woman makes IL
to let her love get the upper hand OF
her. She at once becomes awkward

head. and makes all the nat, silly
speeches possible. when she Ia really
bright girl and would be very clever
II she did not allow her passion 70 make

and maid walt for the opportunity
which circumstances do not favor.
Some other man who does not care 30

silence. but speaks out. The girl. be-
lieving the other man does not care for
her. as he does not tell her so. accepts
this one. who does. They marry and
soon fad matrlmony a failure. The
shy youth kicks himself when he hnd'
another man has won her. Having
learned his lesson. he promptly pro-
poses to the next woman he meets
with as tragic results as those OF the
woman he loves and bis rival.
This Is the frst type Of women who
10 not knou their power. The sec
ond are those who think they debut
don't. They spoil Il all BY an over
exeriion TO please and labor TO attract
attention by afiectatlon and inslncer,
speeches. which are sure TO be seer

being pleasant Is to curry favor and
get herself liked may be very sure o.
getting herself disllked.
The world Is very shreWd and Is no
often humbugged unless she wants 4
be. Counterfelts may pass for awhile
but Il IL not long before they are dis
covered, This type OF woman succeed
best In boring men.
Men are not won BY women thrusilnl
their charms upon them. The trull
successful woman Is sbe who keeps ,h'

As soon as a woman begins running nj
