ever, you perceive the situation. Here In
a very fine young fellow, desperately
smitten with a girl unknown, and roman
tically situated in a wood. There is
reason to believe that this young lady is
not insensible to his merits; he looks
very nice in his sporting costume, he
has no one to compete with him, he is
her only bit Of life for the day, he leaves
her now and then romantic rabbit, and
he rescues her from a ruffian. But here
the true difficulty begins. We cannot
well unite them in the holy bonds with
out a clear knowledge on the part of
either of the true patronymic of the 9th

joices in the good and useful name of
Sharp; but he knows not that his lady
love is one Grace Oglander of Beckley
Barton.

Plain Girls Who Become Pretty.

Ask any one to explain why a GER
tain girl is regarded as pretty and
see if you get a direct answer. Prob
ably you will hear that "she certain
ly is pretty. but really I don't know
why, for she has not a good feature
in her face and, now l come to think
about it, have seen prettier COM
plexionS."
She may have a good figure, but
that does not alone make girl worth
looking at twice and certainly does
not gain her a reputation for pretti-
ness. The pretty girl you will find,
is Immediately fresh and neat look
ing. Her hair looks we'll brushed and
is we'll and becomingly arranged; her
dress is well chosen in color, and
however simple in style it is thor
oughly trim at the neck, and there
is never suspicion of rags or untid-
mess about her skirt braid or her
petticoat
The little things" of that girls
toilet are not slurred over, and her
hands and feet are as dainty as care
can make them, for her innate refine
ment makes her abhor the dictum of
the sloven that "all that matters is
the general effect and little details are
not worth bothering about"

In making over dresses the pains
taking pressing which is indispensable
to all good dressmakiDg, is doubly in
dispensable. When the garment is
ripped apart every piece should be
pressed, and when new seams are
sewed or new hens and facings made
the pressing into final shape must be
thoroughly done. 1t is the common
fault Of the amateur in dressmaking
TO put much work on a garment. A
fussy gown is never tasteful, and
many a frock has been sent to perdi-
ton because of its meaningless details.

How to become slender! Let the
maiden inclined to embonpoint follow
this advice, and he~ form should be
come as willowy as she could wish:
Rise early ard take a cold bath, rub
bing vigorously afterward with a
coarse towel or flesh brush. Take a
cupful of water before breakfast, some
dry toast, boiled fish or a small outlet
and baked apple or a little fruit. AT
dinner, which should be at midday
take white fish or meat, dry toast or
stale bread, vegetables or fruit either
fresh or stewed); for supper, toast
salad, fruit and six ounces of wine o;
water. Hot water with lemon juice
in it is also good for supper. When
you have followed all these rules and
find yourself fairy-like in proportion
then you may begin to contemplate
smart clothes such as only the slender
can wear.-Woman's Life.
