The art of fascina lion!


What a wonderful art!
TO begin with, says an Eastern writ

fascinating women-women whose fame

yoars-would not have been called Eeau-
tiful by their dearest friends or al
lest enemie--!f they had any.
Wherein, then. lay the secret of their
power?
A fascinating woman gives herself up
absolutely and entirely to tie p.o lie m
whose company she harp MS to be
thrown. Her own sorrows and JOS Il g

If you can't make others happy. too?
81 t when real trouble comes her way
Sc is all PITY and soft, womanly sym
pashy. She knows that although men
may like a woman who will keep them
merry with her wit and brightness, they
love a woman upon whose bosom they
can sned their bitterest tears, assured
of their tender sympathy. And yet, when
she is sad and downcast herself, she is
n hers in f1,p rc-ff
of her own room.
A fascinating woman knows and APP
rreciates the value Of dress she is al
ways dressed n perfect taste and and,
mind you, this is by no means less i'm
portant-she knows it. The knowledge
that she IS well gowned will give a
woman confidence, and will put her more
at ease than anything else in the wor d.
To be well gowned does not necessarily
mean to be extensively dressed. On the
contrary, there are times when an eX-
pensive costume would be out Of place.
All thought of self is thrust into the
la kground. Her aim is to make other
PEOPLE appear at their best for she
knows taat by so doing she leaves the
hest possible impression behind her.

Flattery, not bare-faced fattery, but
just the least BIT, which though felt,
Is hardly recognizable, and which fas-
cinating woman knows so well now to
exercise, has a most wonderful effect,
no ally, of course, on the opposite sex,
bat also On her own. 1t is only natural
for every woman to he proud of the
knowledge that she IS loved ana appre-
ciated by her own sex.
The really fascinating woman-tne
woman whose powers of fascination re-
ma with her till the day of her death
is the woman who is charming to
rich and poor, old and young alike. she
Is as fascinating when alone with her
own people as she is when in company
OF Ter lover, or in the presence of
strangers.
The power Of fascination has grown
with ner growth, until it has become
part of herself SIZE Ives in an atmos-
phe'e Of love, and she is only too glad
