who is ready for everything, and who
can enjoy hay ride on a farm wagQE<
as much as a box seat on a fOur-in-
hand, and displays as good an appetite
at a beer and sandwich supper as if it
were bottles and birds at a swell res
taurant. More il demand is the girl
who gets off of the key, but who is al
ways ready to join in a chorus, or a
rag time ditty, than the prima donna
who has to be cOaxed and begged into
singing.
Play fair. Give other girls a show.
Don't try to mOnOpOlize the one man at
the summer resort Don't invei9le him
off into long. solitary rambles and tete-
a-tetes. Don't be the piggy kind of
girl who. when she does capture. a sum-

Why VIII the charIatans and the pre-
tenders always forget this inexorable
rule until it is too late?
Probably the very thing that makes
them charlatans instead Of honest men
makes them forget that the dupe has
his time of reckoning, too, and that no
dogs day ever lasts one fraction of a
second TOO long. And il IS very, very
hard to be whipped-if you are dog
with nothing but a dogs heart to help
you bear il.
How that blessed old pendulum of
human opportunity does swing!
Tick. tock-tick, took. Get out of the
way. Mr.. Schemer, it viii hit you if

are the cards that those who sit in the
game with US hold, nor does our own
hand matter so much as the way We
play il.
The first important point in the sum-
mer Irritation game is TO begin right.
Examine your cards, and see what
sort of a hand fate has dealt you. If
you are radiantly beautiful you can af-
ford to stand pat and take the chances.
Otherwise you viii need to draw to
your one good quality all the charms
the rules of the game allow. Never
forget that a built up hand frequently
takes the pot, and that the girl who
supplements a sallOw complexion and
carrOty hair with winning ways has
before now frozen out a beauty who
was too busy contemplating her own
perfectiOns to admire a mans.
Ante up promptly Do your part in
making things pleasant. Don't expect

it bOres him. No one woman is the
whole show in life to any man, and
unless she is strong enough to win out
against counter attractions, she had
best lay down her hand and drop out
Of the game.
Put up a good, stiff bluff now and
then. 1t generally goes with men. If
you want to be a belle and be admired
and have men falling over each other
to pay you attentions, act as if you
were used to it. No man was ever
known to admire a woman that no 9th
err man admired. Whether they lack
confidence in their own taste and judg
ment, or need each others opinion to
brace them up. nobody knows, but you
will observe that in every community
there are girls who mOnOpoliZe the at
tentions Of all the men in the neigh
borhOOd. while other girls just as pref
ty, just as attractive, just as desirable
sit at hume sucking their thumbs.

An author generally entertains for his
last book the feelings that a father en-
tertains for the baby. He is prejudiced
in its favor. Maybe my book is very
bad. However, considering that the
press of France and England has al
most unanimously praised it, ] have
come to the pleasant conclusion that it
cannot be so very bad.
IF you viii excuse my quoting a pas
sage from a very favorable criticism,
you will better see my point. Speaking
Of the book the Paris Figaro, the most
literary of French papers, says: AL
though Max O'Rell has chosen an En-
glish nom de plume, although he speaks
and writes English as well. as the late
queen Victoria GID, although he has
delivered over 1000 lectures in English,
he is a Frenchman, and a thorough
Frenchman, for he is too witty and
writes French too brilliantly to be any
thing else"
