evade answering outright when a mere
girl up spoke and relieved the situa-
ton:
There is no just cause or inpediment
why a woman should not love a plain
man since the average sensible woman
such as, without vanity, take myself
to believes a man for his qualities of
mind and heart, not for the beauty Of
his nose or the size of his mouth. As a
rule, I think girls f1irt with the hand
some men and marry the plain ones"
Dorothy laughed with glee and winked
coquettishly, while he, the ugly duck
ling, smiled approvingIy.
In dead earnest, this is not a theme
to be lightly discussed. There is real
merit in sounding the depths, though
none is so foolish as to dare assert a
knowledge Of wonan's why's and where
fores. There are several reasons i'm
peliing love for man in womankind,
and it can scarcely be asserted that
the matter Of his personal appearance
comes first. Perhaps one would place
foremost, as the most necessary quality,
strength. 1t may be physical, associat-
ed with broad shoulders and a well knit
frame or it may be mental, for women
have countless times worshiped puny.

men bestow a divine and maternal re-
gard on the men of their choice, in
which instance it is a godlike pity that
has stirred them to the depths of that
beautiful mother nature with which
the Creator has endowed them.
rs & man ever plain to the woman
who adores him ?"
No; rather is it that his very uginess
is a beauty in her fond eyes. The cause
is not difficult to discover. A woman
only too frequently, as has been re-
marked by the sage loves not the man
himself, but her idea of him. and it is
when she ceases to be swayed by that
idea that she sees the man as he is,
with the result of a rapid descent. Per-
haps, too, it is that a woman is in love
with being loved, in which event who

4 new and congeniaI occupation has
been opened to japanese women in the
establishment of kindergartens carried
on according to western ideas. The
Japanese, it is said, have accepted the
kindergarten principles with enthusi-
asm, and thus a new field of work is
prepared for japanese women. Train
ing schools have been founded in diff
ferent parts of the country and the
girl graduates have opened successful
kindergartens Of their own. The intel
lects of the oriental children are just as
keen as those of children elsewhere.
and they take delight in the play work
which involves colors and their com
binations. for every Japanese. child is
born with artistic instincts, and every
thing in the kindergarten naturally ap-
peals to it. One of the fascinating
occupations of the japanese kindergar-
ten is the raising of silkworms and
finally winding the silk from their own
Cocoons, and great feature of interest
is the growing of flowers. The children
are said to love flowers pasaouately.
What g picturesque scene must be pre-
scented in a japanese kindergarten!

love is hungered for need feeln qualms.
The woman will see in him a combina-
ton of Hercules and Adonis and thank
God for his being.
Aunt Hetty, who is a most assertfve
creature and ever sees things from an
extraordinary viewpoint, wound up our
animated talk with characteristic pro-
siness: Can women love plain men
Well, I think so. A plain man, as a
rule, knows he is plain and does his
best to be pleasing, not as the beauty
man does, with little effeminate tricks
of the toilet, but by cultivating some
talent that nature has endowed him
with. Women, as a rule, look upon
beauty as their own particular proper
ty and resent a beauty man as hav-
ing poached on their preserves. They
may be amusing to idle an hour or two
away with at a dance, but for a right
down sensible chat or a husband give
me the plain man before the handsom-
est one in the world"
When doing up your Christmas par

knot wishbone instead of a sprig Of
holly. This is the latest whim of the
superstitious and brings with it good
luck
Speaking of whims reminds me that
I must devote a paragraph to aiguil-
lettes. The most insistent Of the mo-
ment is the taffeta or panne bow with
metal ends, otherwise known to fame
and purse as aiguillettes. In the DAYS
Of Charles I and II, from which these
quaint bows and silk ties date, they
were called tags, but qu'importe ca Pit
seems the same thing. Indeed, if we
hunt up old books dealing with histor-
ical costumes we shall find that it is
from the Stuart days we borrow both
the tag ends and the embrofdering and
braiding with gold characteristic of to-
day, only in those days the mere man
had his share in such frivolities and
sported gold tags and embroideries in
his everyday costume. Here is an ex-
tract from book of old costumes:
"a tunic of Lavender coIored silk braid /
ed with gold down the front and sides
trimmed with ribbon bows and tags
round the waist. Sleeves slashed white. |
Deep collar trimmed with lace. Lace
wristbands. Brooches braided gold and
fastened at the knees with amber rib
bon fastened in a rosette. Broad felt
hat and feathers"
There is no new thing under the sun, |
at least in costume, for the instinct for
the ornate beginning with Eve ripen- /

cult than usual to stem the torrent Of
expectancy, for, being q year of pros

gods provide are to be surprisingly
superior. Aunt Hetty is with US for
