1t is as bad plan to tire man with
too much honey talk and caresses as 1t
is to neglect him altogether. He must
do the wooing, you know. 1t is per-
fectly legitimate to coax him along a
little with smiles and guarded compli-
ments, but watch out that you don't
oyerdo. Whenever woman gets to
begging man to love her she loosens
her craps on his heart. If you do love
him a little. make him fancy it is the
greatest honor to him. Women often
cheaper themselves, and when they do
men not only lose interset, but respect
too.

Few Murderers Among Drunkards.

Emil Reich, the well-known pub
iicist in London, has given the prohi-
bitionists hard nut to crack in his
appeal to statistical proofs that "the
number of murderers among teetotal-
ers is far greater than that among
even confirmed drunkards." Criminol-
ogists have long observed that the
most deadly enemies Of society, the
most secretive and furtiye in their
designs. have no inclination for drink
both from natural constitution and the
fear Of lessening the skill Of their exc
cution. But because the greatest Grim
inals have no taste for strong drinA is
no reason why honest people should
not carefully refrain from addiction to
brandy and whisky.
