 Now. those were both nice girls They simply had not knowledge enough to keep to themselves the fact that they would like men to admire them That Is natural feeling and one not at all to be condemned. But if the girls had been wiser they would have known they could gain tho very end they sought more effectively by a graceful, reposeful manner. the manner or one who is not thinking of herself every moment. Girls do not need to try to attract men. Just let them alone, and men will go after girls fast enough. It is their nature.

 AS you viewed her face you read that she herself admired immensely her small mouth and was trying to make others admire it too. She bit her lips, twisted them this way and that, show ed her teeth--they were fairly white and even-incessantly pocked her chin forward drew it back. blinked her eyes. turned from side to side in her seat. worked her fingers and moved her arms and pittypatted her feet It fairly made quiet body seasick to watch her.

Those Jolly Lndiess Days.

The Larchmont Yacht Club is not so good to women. but its ladies' days are enjoyable for all that. I went to the last one. Unfortunately 1t was a broil- ing hot day, the sort of day that makes you absolutely refuse to wear any thing but white and prefer a muslin shirt waist with open work embroid- cry. The lawn was a sea of muslins and dafntily tinted sunshades. and out in the open were the yachts glistening with dead white paint and sails and with their beautifully polished brass work winking in the sun. In the im- mediate foreground of the water Qf I can use that term) sports were going on. such as canoe and obstacle races and diving. Back on the piazza other races were going on-between the walters and those who. comfortably en- sconced in armchairs, dashed the per- spiration from their feeble hrows and called loudly for some things with cracked ice in them.
