eSELECTION OF Her

C~1HE friendship Of one woman for an
other is generally founded upon mo-
- tves of interest and not upon real
lAk44y affection. II she is social climber
she picks out for friend woman
who has social position, who belongs TO the So
ciety Of Colonial DANES, or else woman who
entertains good deal. BY being intimate with
one Of the Upper Ten" and by being seen with
her good deal, she hopes that people will come
to imagine that she belongs there.
II she wishes to become acquainted with Mrs.
Van Renssaeler, she Immediately proceeds to cul-
tivate Mrs. DE Puyster, who is a friend of Mrs.
Van Renssaeler's. She invites Mrs. De Puyster
to dinner as often as she decently can, takes her
to the theatre frequently, and, in short, 80 puts
the other woman under obligations to her, that
she can refuse her nothing. Then, when she has
received the coveted introduction, she has no
further use for Mrs De Puyster, and the former
friendship is allowed to wane.
II she has a young married friend whose hus
bands chum is looked upon as "catch," she
contrives to spend most Of her time at her
friends. After awhile she succeeds in obtaining
the coveted introduction, but this is only the
beginning of her friends usefulness to her.
Her friends house is convenient place for
accidental (O meetings, and besides, as they are
both intimate at the house, they are liable to be
invited to meals at the same time. If her friend
and her friends husband plan little outing of
some kind, they are very apt to invite their re
spectve chums to go along By and by, having
made all possible use of her friends house and
her friends chaperonage, she finally lands him,
and with that the intimacy between the two
women ceases.
GIRL FRIEND FOR FOIL.
If she is a pretty woman, she always picks
out an ugly girl for chum, and not girl as
good looking as herself She knows that beauty

CONDUCTING A BULL FIGHT

Two out of this number C'pcadors" or '1ancers)
are mounted on horseback, but the weapon they
handle generally proves of very little utility in
warding off the onslaughts of the bull, and the
consequence is that the poor horse suffers cruelty
from his antagonist The other members of the
party, who conduct their operations on foot, are
described as "banderilleros," their business being
restricted to diverting the attention of the bull
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-05

II he is in love, she helps him out in his love
affairs; she also advises him in regard TO business
matters, and is more proud of his confidence than
she ever was Of anything in all her life
They chum together on a footing of easy in
timacy that is very pleasant to both. He treats
her almost as he would another man, and she
considers him as good another woman to go
out with--whch last he looks upon being a
rather dubious compliment, although she intends
IL in all seriousness.
She does not value his friendship for the sake
Of the good time he shows her; often he does
not show her much of a good time. He probably
saves up his money TO take out some girl TO whom
he happens TO have taken fancy; but then he
always comes around "to tell her all about it,, so
she doesn't care. He may not show her a good
time, but then he always remembers her at
Christmas and he never forgets her birthday.
II his fancee has hirted assiduousy during his
absence from town, his girl chum proceeds to
take measures TO prevent her delinquencies from
coming TO his notice.
MAKES BETTER FRIEND THAN A WOMAN.
She never reminds him Of any services she may
have rendered him, for she looks upon them as
being so natural, as being so much the only thing
to have done under the circumstances, that she
almost always forgets them as soon as they have
been performed.
She is afraid to trust even her most intimate
girl friend with secret, for even If the girl can
keep it while they friends, and even this is
open to doubt-she certainly will not be able to
keep it after they have ceased to be friends.
On the other hand, she knows that she can
trust man with anything, because a man is
rarely a gossip, and also because he makes a
much better friend that woman does.
He is never affected by changes in fortune, and
a woman almost always is. If woman loses
her money her girl chum Immediately finds some
plausible excuse for dropping her, but her man
chum sticks to her through thick and thin.

by projecting little darts decorated with ribbon

NAL generally occupies the space of half an hour,
and at the end of that period the matador, before
giving the final lunge, advances towards the
crowded house and making little speech, which
is received by ovation if the combat has pleas
ed the audience, awaits the exhibition of the
colored handkerchief which decides the finishing
stroke. This signal being given, he is at liberty
to choose amongst variety of recognized moves.
He may, perhaps, favor the "estocada volap-
ies;' if so, he boldly approaches the bull, which,
already bewildered by the complicated antics of
his tormentors, awaits the toreador without NOV
ing or seeking to escape, whereupon the bullI
fighter gives the coup de grace by punging his
sword up to the hilt in the animals neck, or be-
tween the horns. On the other hand, when the
matador himself remains at his place and waits
to receive the final charge of the bull, the move
is known as 'recibiendo," or receiving" When

an event which excites much general
attention. though to all appearances some at
tempts have of late been made on the part of
aIl.round sportsmen in Madrid and elsewhere to
arouse sort of feeble interest in the turf.
But it is the Fiesta de toros," or "corrida,"
which is the all-prevailing attraction, and when
one considers the grand scale upon which these
huIl.rinus are erected some with capacity for
accommodating as many as $4,000 spectators, it
will easily be seen that the Spanish taste for this
form of amusement is by no means halfhearted
one.
science bewildering enough to the lay mind, but
Il is a question whether the terminology OF the
bullring is not even worse. Every thrust has its
narteular designation, and every mode OF attack
or defense is likewise distinguished by numberess
taohnical cancellations All these subletes are
carefully chronieled by the sporting seribes on the
various Spanish newspapers, and their glowing
accounts. sometimes interlarded with extempore
verses when ordinary prose fails to express their
enthusiasm, are eagerly devoured by those unfor-
tunate readers who had no opportunity OF being
present at the actual event.
PRELIMINARY FoRMALITIEs.
The "matador" (sayer), of course, occupies the
most important post, but next to him, perhaps,
tha bulls themselves receive the largest share OF
attention. The latter are designated by proper
names. Just as in the case of our English race
horses; but, alas the poor bulls fame is Of only
brief duration, since once he enters the arena he
never emerges from it alive.
