FEMININE GRACES THAT
CHAIN MERE MAN.

en- alike is a favor accorded to but few
OF the gentlcr sex. The average fair
feminine has the hearty approval of
her sisters, with an occasional auinlrcr
among the rank and file Of men, or she
is Che petted and courted Ideal of men
in general. While Wornen find her all
but stupid and decidedly unintercsting.
There IS. however. n small class OF
women who win ;he p~lludits OF both
sexes. and, like all good things. the ia
vored few are offset by another class
Of women who are distinctly ~
ular with everybody, whether male or
female. The name of this latter MEM
Der of the fair Sex is the girl who
snecrS."
We al know her. If We haven't met
her in boarding school. we meet her on
eur summer vacation, and II she es-
capped our notice in the play hours
when we were youngsters. We find her
in the ball room when we've grown up.
She is the seemingly unlimited guest
at every party where she makes her
appearance, and If she is IL wall flower
she seems to be quite contented with
her lot. and each tendril she sends out
in the way of words and looks and ac-
lions helps to bind her closer to the
cold gray stones of ungracious woman
hood. which build the wall OF disfavor
in tho social world.
This girl who siieers closely resem-
hi,s the tabled fox and the grapes so
out of reach. She wouldn't be popular
ii she could be. but it takes no eagle
eye to see that 1T is quite out of the
! question for Der to be popular even if
she cared to be. And her sheer mas
been the cause of IL all.
Tho girl who SnecrS a!nuScS men. If
there ia one thing masculine nature en-
joys it is to havr tine laugh on the
other fellow Ii this latter individual
happens to be the sncering type of
girl. II man is ever more amused than
If 1t is n member of his own SEX, and
the reason is apparent. Men are very.
very human. Eliminate the human ell
cmcnts from anything or anybody. and
they Immediately lose interest and are
totally inditferent-that is. If they are
serious. II not, they SHOW their indif-
ference in n more positive way. and
make II joke OF it-o,. what is more to
the point, OF her.
The girl who SneerS is the girl who
fats to recognize he human side of
the world IN general. and if it happens
to be the una side of her own frail
sex which she sccrns. men not only
make her II prey Cor their cherished and
poignant sense of huncr, but they
leave her sublimely alone to her coddled
sleeis and the awakening knowledge
that she is somehow y thing apart FROM
everything and ever, pody.
So much for the CIR, who sneers. You

and you can save her. She has chosen
her own fate and She is perfectly salts
fled to stand aloof and throw her darts
ot contempt ut happy, hopeful mortals
struggling With the insignificant joys
and sorrows of a very pleasant old
world. She is sercnely laval of all
she is missing and if you look at her
unbiasedly you will see that she fills II
much needed want in the social order
OF things and especially in the world
of feminine graces where masculine fa-
vOr IS at stake.
This girl who sneers is the guidepost
IN a maze OF different ways She pOintS
decidedly where to go by warning en-
p~hatically where not to go. and If you
are careful to note Just where and how
she makes her railing remarks. o will
