The young person of Butte, who has
poured out her soul in a good-siZed vol
ume for the ediiication of an unfeelmg
public, has found a defender. Naturally,
the defender of her own sex. Miss
MacLane,' says this defender, with evil
dent but unmistakable hysteria, lis
genius. She has the saving grace of
humor Her book is literature. And be-
Sides" continues this defender, with -le
naiYette of her sex, I'VE cannot blame
her for what she writes since she is
forced to live in Butte" The defender,
of course has right to her own opin-
ion, and doubtless Butte is very, very
mad. The opinion argues one, thing, how
ever, that il is impossible to be genius
and to be polite. A genius may tell
crowd of unfeeling strangers that her
mother is a hen. If an orulnary person
should make such a remark, even to her
bosom friend, the good taste of it would
certainly be questioned And according
to this opinion, it is impossible to be
genius and keep the commandments. If
an ordinary person should ,ell her bosom
friend that she steals and ,.lat she does
not honor her father and mother, though
botlr are perfectly respectable and look
after her comfort. she would be very apt
to lose that bosom friend. genius may
take the public into her confidence and
the confidence will be dubbed literature
If an ordinary person should tell her bos-
ON friend that she longs for the coming
of the devil, and should, incidentally
itemize her physical charms with almost
painful minuteness, her sanity might be
open to question. 1t is different, howev-
er, with genius. Somebody has remark
ed that this is a literary age in which
each writer seems to be trying to say
damn the loudest. Miss MacLane has
fairly shrieked the naughty little oath
The pity is that the Shrek should be
mistaken for genius.

How to Preserve Your Figure.

. Women who wish to preserve the Slim
ness and contour of their figures must
begin by learning to stand well.
That is, explained to mean the throw
ing forward and upward Of the chest,
the flattening of the back and the shout
and the definite curve in the small of
the back, thus throwing the whole weight
of the body on the hips.
This, in a great measure, preserves
the figure, because it keeps the muscles
firm and well strung and prevents the
sinking down of the flesh around the
waist, so common in women over thirty,
which is perfectly easy to escape. An
other thing to avoid is the bad habit
Of going up stairs as most women do,
bent forward, with the chest contracted.

Art of COurtshin.

a., IN reality, although men profess to
mink 1t dlflcult. the art of courtship is
very simple, and consists of a choice of
methods. here are two ways to win a
Woman's heart. One by storm, and the
ether by siege, and both ways work.
The woman's choice is by storm. There
is something elemental and barbaric in
every woman's nature that responds to
brute force. Women adore men who do
not ask for their love, but who take it,
and the man who tells a woman that he
is going to marry her, whether she will
nave him or not ends by doing it. The
strong and passionate wooing has gone
to her head and captured her fancy. and
