ble."
The girls cheered at this. They
were eager for the trial.
''Now, girls, the way to snare your
man is to look stunning" continued
Mrs. Wade.
The girls were terror-stricken. Some

mouths that were wide.
Modesty BECOMING.
II don't mean that you have to be
! beautiful" explained Mrs. Wade.
"That is merely incidental to the snar-
ing of men. I said be stunning You
know a man sees a stunning woman
and is infatuated. He sees that she is
stylish from head to foot, she is pleas
ing to the eye as a whole. The pretty
girl has to display her face. Sometimes
she is dowdy and then she isn't pleas
ing. Better be stunning than be beau
tiful. The stunning woman is always
more attractive"
The girls were attentive. They were
hanging on the words which seemed t.
convey hope.
"Then learn to draw the line be
tween modesty and the false modest,

The girls were already figuring
just how low they would have the
gowns cut. They placed much con
