good fat check there III lose my guess"
As one of our countrywomen, says
| London letter, was going down the rather
narrow stairs that lead from The house TO
the garden at the American embassy, she
met three or four young attaches OF for
| eign legations, who were entire strangers
| TO her. Their polueness induced them to
stand aside for her to pass, but their
courtesy did not prevent their making
audible personal comments. They seemed
TO take It for granted that French was an
unknown tongue to Americans.
Look at her yellow dress; it's very
pretty" said No. /.

The men had just enough presence OF

The didident young man, says Ilt-Blts,

subject and sought Information from men
Who had experience and, while the the
cries were admirable, in every instance
he found that the practice thereof was a
different thing.
He was walking with her one evening
thinking over these things, when her shoe
became united She stuck out her pretty
little foot with a smile, looked down az IT,
and he fell on his knees and tied the
lace Then he walked on with her, ana
the shoe became united again. The thru
time it happened he was ready as before

Yes" he replied.
She jerked her foot away.
He smiled to himself.

No doubt the human race would con-
slider It little short OF universal tragedy II
there were no looking glasses. Yet In
spite Of their widespread use, II is an as
tonishing fact that none OF us have ever
seen ourselves as others see us.
In the first place the reflection In the
mirror does not portray our likeness with
any attempt at accuracy. The hair Is
wrong In tone 4he eyes are not correct
in color, and our compilations are hope
lessiy libeled by this specious household
deceiver. 1t Is certain that IL the looking
glass told the truth, the sale of various
complexion washes would greatly de-
crease for any fair skin looks gray and
pallid in a glass. and as a result many
women ruin their splendid compilations by
trying to improve them, because they look
bad in the mirror.
You may be certain that however plain
your face seems, II Is not so plain as II ap-
pears In the tell-tale mirror. Secondly
you cannot assume your natural expression
while peering in looking glass. The eye
must be IN certain position before you can
see at oil. and the eye, so far as express
sion is concerned. governs the face. The
consequence is that you can see only one
OF your expressions in the glass, and that
one sof tentative examination. All the
other expressions by which your friends
know you, favorable or otherwise, you
have never seen.
