One of the first things girl has to
learn is the art of receiving compli-
ments, neither appropriating them nor
disclaiming them. 1t is sometimes diff
ficult, and to blush is fatal Oh those
youthful bushes How distressing they
are to their vexed proprietresses, and
yet what a charm they give to the in
genuous girlhood, and how enchanted
ingenious girlhood would be to escape
from them forever and be clad in coat
of mail, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The skillful complimenter embar-
raises no one, not even the shiest girl
He knows how TO convey an expression
of his appreciation without exactly say
ing it. Such man can flatter one self
love quite sufficiently in merely saying,
"How well You look The tone and
manner are eloquent enough to supple

their very meagerness allows the recipi-

the writer of the most popular sensa.
