The Way Into Society.

Let the social climber take notice:
The password to take one within the
social gates Is The Eccentric to EX-
cess SO that in some one thing one
proves himself n personal eXaggera-
ton. one is socially safe. The story of
the ages displays this. Caesar makes
himself the fashion by eccentricity of
his extravaganza. He pairs 700 Gadi-
ators in combat to be the basis of a
single show: he owes $5,000,000 before
he is 81 Wherefor Caesar was in So
clety. Lucullus, given money and idle
ness after his wars. digs lakes. builds
islands, hangs gardens in the air,
makes pies from the tongues of mock

cost of $4,000. Wherefore Lucullus
was In society.

and half ago: Buck Whalley walks

OEStRI SCANENGERS.

1t is probable that one never fully

The Beautiful Sex.

Discussing the question (Which Is
the Beautiful SeX?' in the Womans
Home Companion, Henry 7. Finck,
having proved that in beauty of body
women are ahead of men says
"But how about those women who
do not happen to be beautiful to the
eye: DO they belong TO the bcauu-
fu sex: Too many of them seem to
think they do not and in despair try
to become strong, like men. they
make a great mistake. They can still
belong to the beautiful sex, though
their faces and figures be not beautl-
full to the eve. Just as some men.

vored sisters in the art of fascinating
men.
"Spiritual beauty follows the same
lines as bodily beauty. Shakespeare
sums 1t MP in four lines when he
makes woman say:
Why are our bodies soft and weak and
smooth.
Unapt to toll and trouble in the world,
But that our soft conditions and our

sturdy, like those of men. The charm
which comes from mental beauty Is
much more alluring and lasting than
a pretty face. Some Of the most fas'
cinating women known to history had
little or no physical beauty. Given two
women. one Of whtsn is plan-featured,
but gentle, tender, sympathetic. soft

cheerful, devoted, vivacious, in a word
winsome, the other pleasing to the

Goldsmith's maxim, Handsome is that
handsome does:
1T is Of the utmost Importance that
women should understand clearly that
they were predestined to he the beauti-
full sex. and not to compete with men
in trials of strength for which they
are weighted unfairly by Nature.
They should remember that mere
strength is not the highest criterion
of nobility
But modern man has a sense Of
beauty, and 1t is there that he is weak
and vulnerable and easy to enslave.
Hence, wise women will cultivate their
charms, physical and mental, above all
things, and avoid work that develops
strength at the cost of beauty"

Pawn Wives and Daughters.

They have a curious way Of utillz-
ing wives and daughters in some parts
Of India. If man wants money he
puts these members of his esta blish-
ment in pawn and his creditor detains
them until the debt is discharged. The
custom varies in different localities. In
Melore the Yercals pledge their daugh-
tiers to creditors, who may either mar
ry them or give them away, and a man
who has to go to Jail deposits his wife
with another family Of her tribe until
his return. In North Arcot unmarried
daughters are frequently mortgaged
and become the absolute property of
the holder until liquidation.
