THE HANDSOME MAN
VERSUS THE PLAIN MAN.

All women are proverbially beauty
lovers. and IL is always the handsome
man who commands their first youthful
love. But are the handsome men the
most interesting? No. most decidedly
not.
They are apt to regard their personal
appearance too highly. whereas the
plain man knows that he cannot win
the girls favor by his appearance. but
by his manner.
Therefore he studies how TO be inter-
esting. The consequence In that. al
though the handsome man may attract
| at first the plain man Will win in the
long run by the very force of his supe-
| rior intellect and fascination.
Gazing into the most beautiful eyes
grows insipid when the owner hasn't
two ideas to exchange. while one for
gets mans lack OF beauty in the
charm OF his cultivated mind.
OF course IL handsome man has
brains and talent also he can carry all
before him. but the combination rarely
goes together.
OF course every girl considers the
man OF her choice TO be handsome
whether he really is so or not. Love is
proverbially blind Thus perhaps our
engaged girl readers Will disagree with
the statement that handsome men Of
ten make very poor sweethearts.
The man who knows he is handsome
is as bad as the girl who knows she is
pretty.
The good looking man who never
spends a moments thought on his good
looks-he is the ideal lover. But he is
very scarce in these days when male
foppishness and Irritation are held TO be
two of life's fine arts.
Beware of handsome menl They are
apt to be dangerously clever at love-
