WHAT He KNEW ABOUT GIRLS :


CO HERE'S a girl over there that
keep meeting constantly, and yet
she never deigns to give ME more
than a nod or perhaps commonplace
or two"
Ned Blacks manner as he turned
toward his companion was distinctly
aggrieved. Then as his gaze fell upon
a stranger instead of his familiar
friend, he exclaimed: ooh, | say,
thought you were Graham, you know"
1t was at an afternoon reception,
and the two men lounged at either side
Of wide doorway.
The man addressed, without shifting
his gaze from the jostling crowd before
them, answered easily: "Graham's
been gone about five minutes. What
girl do you mean? The pretty one in
white, talking to old Miss Fitznob?
Why, she's not particularly difficult
at least she hasn't that reputation, like
this Miss Maynwaring. Perhaps you
don't take the right tactics. Popular
girls like that have to be mana 9eu.
You ought to make her understand
that there are others | suppose you
seek her out and say all the usual
pretty things that she takes as mat
ter of couse. So do all the other fell
lows. and so she doesn't distinguish
you from the crowd. Now, my ad, ice
but perhaps I'm boring you. and. af-
ter all, | suppose it isn't worth while"
Not at all" broke In Ned. - am
very much Interested; l really admire
that girl. Gro ahead and tell me your
scheme"
well. then, you ought to do exactly
the opposite thing, apparently come
across her by chance; then pause a
few minutes as a matter of duty Don't
seem particularly interested at first,
but gradually lead the conversation
round to some other girl and then wax
eloquent See. now is your chance,
ahead, old man, and try my plan; it
will at least succeed In fixing her at
tention."
"Oh. l say" muttered Ned, little
wish could, you know. | see the idea
is good. but I'm afraid | can't follow it
out though"
Nonsense, all you want is conf
dence. Faint heart. remember. Go
ahead. Good luck to you" and with
man started his companion on his way,
shrugged his shoulders and murlnurad:
"Well. I've got him off my hands.
Thinks he's hurt. but he's only pqued.
Wonder where Miss Maynwaring is.
When a girl is really difficult there's
some zest to the chase"
Meantive Ned iostled through the
crowd and passed by the girl in whire
with a well simulated start of surprise.
"Oh. good afternoon, Miss Edgcr-
ton" he exclaimed in a slightly forced
manner. Rather a crush here, isn't
there:'
How do you do, Mr.. er-Black. Yes,
indeed, and its insuferably warm"
she responded inditferently.

thing" this rather perfunctorily.
THANK you. no. I've tried that twice
already. If there We're only some cool
place where one might go. Auntie isn't

c,SfRANCHlSEMfNT OF TIE NEGRO.


At least five Southern States have
DISTINGUISHED the negro, and did so be
cause he was Il negro. To dsfranchise
even ignorance in free republic Is a
questionable proceeding. To disfran-
chise race because it is black Is
repugnant to our American spirit.
The man who must obey the law
ought to have something to say about
making the law. The man who pays
taxes ought to have something to say
about their distribution. These are two
fundamental American propositions. To

ADVICE TO THE CITY YOUNG MAN.
BY Mrs. Russell Sage

No young man should marry until
his position in life Is assured, and in
New York and other great centers be-
fore a man is married he ought to be
able to provide handsomely for his wife
If he desires to he happy. Marriage in
New York is a problem very different to

the congested centers- congested in

While the mad race for money is
going on it is worth while OCCASION
ally to stop and consider what
wealth may bring. Money can
purchase a great many Of. the COM
forts of life, but before we can en-
10Y such comforts we must have
peace of mind. Unless we have an
untroubled conscience riches are of
no avail. 1t then resolves into a
question of how money is obtained.
Wealth secured by honest, upright
means can be source of much
pleasure. Money secured in any
other way is bound to be curse.
