CHARM OF MANNER.
IL Ia the Most to- BE Desired OF All
Gifts 10 Women.

Wills ~ - UANA~NA
II is a curious fact that nothing
plays greater part IN a woman's ca
reer than charming manner, yet
nothing Is taught and cultivated less.
To be gracious without being patroniz-
ing on the one hand or too gushing on
the other. all this requires cultivation
and Is not attained IN a day. That nlu-
Bive attribute known as charm is still
more dlfBcult. II not impossible. to
achieve Is II not Unborn and not to be
acquired, strive we ever 50 hard7
Certain II Is that this charm is the
most to be desired OF all the good gifts
the fairy godmothers have to bestow.
Beauty mny fade and riches may hy
away and health and youth be swai-
lowed up by the years as they pass,
but that charm VIII ever remain, more
potent, more soul satisfying, than beau
ty and riches and even youth itself.
How often does not one see this ex-
emplified IN society by the popularity
Of some womaa who apparently pos
sesses little or nothing to Justify such
SUCCESS and who nevertheless Is court
ed and admired aud Of whom every one
says, 'Isn't she charmingf"
You agree that she is and wonder
why. Other women you know. better
looking younger. better dressed per-
haps- though the really charming wo-
man is never badly dressed--and yet
they lack Just something which at
tracts you in the other woman as Il at
tracts others. what is Il? you ask
yourself and you come to the conclu-
sion It Is something which, for want Of
a better name. you call charm"
