THE PLAIN GIRL.

60 HERE are few regular coca
sious on which every pretty girl
- feels inclined to give vent to her
feelings by a good cry one Is when
her plain sister enters into the bonds OF
matrimony with an exceedingly good
looking man.
1t is very Notifying, If you happen
10 be- pretty. to be left out in the cold.
and the pretty girl never has under
stood. ana never will understand, how
it is. And perhaps it is really good
thing for the beauty Of the family that
she is 50 ignorant on this matter. If she
fully cDmprchcndcd the brain workings
Of that strange creature, man, matri-
mony would lose its dearest charm.
The handsome man marries the plain
girl. Cry rs we will, this is n fact, and
one that we may test the actually Of
very day If we will.
TO take up the question of forlorn
beauty why is it? A man who is good
looking must admire beauty. He does
admire il; he cannot help himself. Then
why the pretty girl inquiries, does he
marry her plain sister?
The answer may best be found in the
answers of twelve intelligent men ON
the subject of choosing a wife Each
one stated seriously what qualities he
would look for in possible partner
and set them down in order. the most
important first, the less important fol-
! lowing.
Taking an average, their ideal was to
be as follows: First kind-heartcd. true
and sympathetic; second. lively and
fond Of children; third, proud of herself
| for the sake Of her friends; fourth a
good hOusekecper and n busy bee;
fifth, a graceful figure and beautiful;
sixth, wealthy and clever.
The plain girl scores at once with her
sympathy; ii is her chief and most pow.
erful weapon against Il man. The girl
with good looks has no need to find
friends by being sympathetic, and it is
doubtful if people would believe hel
sympathy to be genuine. At all socia
gatherings the plain girl Is so muCl
alone that her manner appears at once
modest and retiring. Let a handsome
man give her half mn hour of his com
pany and her whole mind is bent on be
ing agreeable. But the pretty girl has
a score of men to talk to. and falls into
a habit Of inattention. The pretty CIR
has n harder time than the plain girl

father into court because of a few dol
lars and placed an ugly stain on the
baby's life?
