What should 1 say make girls at
tractive?" answered a society man to
| whom the above query was put by a
| New York Tribune writer. "Well, that
| Is very hard question to answer.
Different men Cfor l take it by asking
| me you wish to know what makes a
| girl attractive to a mani like different
| attributes. You probably mean gener-
| ally attractive-what you might call a
| popular girl in society. Well, Ishould
say one of the most important traits is
| the power of making another feel that
for the moment, at least-his per-
sonality and what he says are of para
mount interest. Many young women
| let their eyes wander while you are
talking to them, as if they were look
ing for other men. This is certainly
not complimentary. Still, even absent
| mindedness is not much worse than a
too great intensity of expression, which
is apt to bore one. One feels any affec-
ton of interest instinctively. Interest
must be genuine and spontaneous to
be agreeable. A pleasing voice and
sympathetic laugh are also great ad-
juncts. l know several girls who score
lot in that way. 1t is a pleasure to
talk with them for no other reason.
1t is the general opinion, that beauty
attracts a man more than any other
quality. This is by no means the case;
in fact, as a rule the beauties do not
have half so good time as pretty wo-
men who are less self-conscious. There
are many beautiful women who COM
pletely lack charm. There is one thing
about woman's personal appearance
that appeals particularly to ninety
nine men out of hundred, and that is
neatness and smartness. Women, as
rule, do not realize this. In their eff
forts to look pretty and have their be-
longings becoming they often complete
ly overlook tidiness, and so spoil every
thing. neat, shining head always ex-
cites a mans admiration, while becom-
ingness is with him quite a secondary
consideration. / have often seen my
sisters look in the glass, arrange their
crimps with the greatest care, and
quite overlook the fact that their heads
were far from looking trig and tidy
two great essentials, to my mind. AS
for lasting attractions! All, for those
men look below the surface more than
women suppose. A mans instinct
seeks in the woman he cares for some
thing better than himself. He may not
say much about it, but he feels it all
the same. The qualities l have men
toned may attract, but it needs others
to attach"
A broken engagement, when the
cause of it has been a loss of fortune
on the part of one or the other of the
parties concerned is, says the New
| York World, not thing to be lament
ed, but to rejoice at-rejoice that the
real character of the jilt has been I'M
yelled before it is too late to disunite
ones self from so sordid a nature.
One hears more frequently of the girl
| deserted by her lover under such con-
| ditions than vice versa. Women, on
the whole, are more disinterested in
| their affection than men. They will
| cling to a penniless sweetheart and be
! proud of the opportunity of proving
| their sincerity. Many good, loyal wives
there are to-day who have bravely
stood by their husbands when ruin has
| come, and have been almost more
proud to share misfortune with those
they love than to enjoy luxury with
| them in more prosperous days.
The breaking off of an engagement
| is naturally very painful matter, but
| it is far better to recognize the wisdom
| of bearing a little pain to-day than
more tomorrow. Broken hearts are
| difficult to cure, but a broken engage
ment is not half so serious a matter as
a broken-up married life.
1t is a question which is the more
honorable-to break off an engagement
where the feelings of one party have
changed or to fulfil ones word and
| risk the consequence. An open con-
fession would appear to be the wisest
| course, and would probably save much
| after misery.
A man is placed in a very awkward
| position when he strives by gentle, easy
| means to break off an engagement ana
the girl, wilfully or otherwise, is deaf
to his hints, and holds him to his word
! with an innocent tenacity that leaves
! him no choice but to tell her that he
no longer loves her and to ask for his
release, or to go into marriage half
heartedly.
When it is apparent that a revolu-
tionized state of feeling has come about
| and the man is honorably trying to get
| out of an engagement that, If it Gull
minated in marriage, would bring no
happiness to either party concerned, the
| girl of her own accord should release
him.
One is apt to look with peculiar pity
| on the girl who has been Tilted. It is a
pathetic case and her lot is a very hard
| one for the time, but there is much
comfort in knowing the truth, and the
| girl who respects herself would never
| wish to have the true state of affairs
concealed from her, even though a
| knowledge of the truth would seem 10
rob her of part of her life.
Never" says a woman who has had
experience and a variety of hats this
summer, and who was discussing the
subject with a representative of the
New York Tribune, take advantage of
the kind offers of any one but a very

quanitance. This year / had an OPP
