The crusty Bachelor,

''The first duty of woman is to he
beautiful"
The Crusty Bachelor knocked the
ashes from his pipe, and FASTENED to
qualify this sweeping statement.
BEAUTY" said he, may mean differ
ent things in different persons. When
say that it is a woman's first duty to be
beautiful. / mean it should be her chief
aim to be good to look upon-and good to
look upon in the sight of an intelligent,
beauty loving, clear-seeing eye"
That" he continued, reaching for the
tobacco jar and proceeding TO transfer IA
bit Of its golden brown contents to the
bowl of his pipe, that, | need not say,
disqualiies the bleached blonde, the too
obviously pink-cheeked-in short, the
made-up beauty. A clear-seeing eye de-
finished the Crusty Bachelor contemptu-
ously, giving final deft pat to his to-
bacco and viciousl, striking match
He drew a few gentle puffs, and con-
tinued more mildly.
"A woman who is not good can never
be pleasant to lcok upon, Those graccs
of mind and soul which make a woman
good also make her beautiful. 1t is not
the woman with faultless form and fea-
ture alone who satisfies the eye Of the
thoughtful. She must also have a grace
of expression and n gentleness of manner
revealing beauty Of character And the
woman who possesses this innate beauty
may be outwardly lovely. though her fed-
lures are irregular and her form not
ideal
Il say she may be, but why" he went
on. impressively, lis she not? Because
she spoils herself. Because she neglects
herself Because she is utterlc careless
and indifferent to the duty of making
herself attractive"
Here he laid his pipe down and for
got i.
because a woman is good, let her not
suppose the world f0rgives her for wear
ing clothes that do not fit her. Because
she thinks, let her not imagine she will be
excused for careless, il~groomed Golf
fure No woman on earth has an intel
iect so gigantic, or q character so heav-
emily that she may neglect her personal
appearance without bringing down on her
head the righteous disapproyal of every
man condemned &c look upon her. A cul
risated mind and a charitable heart art
rare and praiseworthy possessions. anG
blessed is that female who possesses
them. But they in no wise excuse her
from making the most of her personal

The Crusty Bachelor picked up his
pipe. 1t had gone ont. He relighted il
and pulled himself into a more peaceful
state of mind.

Maxine Elliott on Beauty.

Writing OF Maxine Elliott in the No
vcn.ber Issue OF The Theatre Magazine,
Ada Patterson says:

majestic pine trees of her native Maine.
But the actress herself, like most hand
some women who also possess brains, dep
recates and even reSentS the attention
and admiration her beauty excites. She
who has been called the most beautiful
woman in the world regards mere beauty
assets more valuable than her good looks.

ment. repose and ambition.
Beauty is only a fifth wheel, she said
seriously 10 the writer one morning short
~ after he first appearance at the Gar
rick, and unsmilingly and with earnest

text, declaring herself weary Of the eter-
ma subject Of beauty, almost ashamed OF

most women would lay down their lives.
1T is no help to woman at the be-
ginning of her career she said. "On
the contrary, it is a positive hindrance
TO be so-called Stage beauty. 1t chal-

When Friendship
Is Mistaken for Love.

4 great many girls make the mistake
of taking mems attentions too seriously
The moment man shows the slightest
interest in them they begin to look or
him in the light of a possible husband.
Instead of winning husband they very
often lose a friend.
The man is frightened away when he
learns what is expected Of him. He has
been attracted to some girl by her bright
personality or her pretty face. He would
like to be friends with her, but he does
not for one moment dream of marrying
her. He regards the friendship as pure
ly platonic.
Not so the girl, however. She cannot,
to save her life, keep the personal ele-
ment out of her side of the game. She
wonders at once if he means anything
serious.
In justice to the girl must say that
her foolish. wel-meaning friends are
largely responsible for her perverted
views. They tease her about the man
and make her self-conscious, prophesying
all sorts of romantic endings to the
friendship. aud naturally the girls com.
mon sense is somewhat biased by their
nonsense.
All good. true men like to form firm,
sensible friendship with women. but they
don't fall in love with every woman they
admire, If girls would only keep this in
mind they would have such comfortable,
satisfactory Friendships with men
Why not be content to be merely
friends without wondering whether or 10
the man means anything else than
friendship,
When man admires n girl it is most
natural that he should invite her Ia
places of amusement and show her many
pretty little courtesies, but girls, girls
do not lose both your dignity and your
friend by mistaking his attentions fol
