The Art OF Pleasing.

Somebody said it is better to be
beautiful than to be good. But it is
certainly better to be good than to be
ugly. 1t is better to be charming. A
women cannot charm because she
wants to. A man is not agreeable be-
cause he sets out to be. Quite the re-
verse. In effort is failure. The pro-
per effect must, like reEartee. be
spontaneous and unprecedented. It
must be radiated naturally, like light
and love. Books there are that pre-
tend to tell how it is done. They do
30 quite as competently as grasshop-
pers teach entomology. Theability to
charm, to be agreeable, to entertain
perfectly, and to be perfectly enter
tanning, is an art apprehensible only
through influences generally prenatal
but always prolonged. The mere
technique is so volatile that it must be
inhaled. Like the Mayfair intonation,
little by little, it must be absorbed.
Kings and thugs may abash the
amateur in the art of pleasing but the
artist is at home with them. He puts
himself in harmony with them. In
the ability to do that is the whole secret
of the art of pleasing. Edgar Saltus

On Saturday, October 9th, the
Republican voters of Kent county
will hold their county primaries to
choose delegates to the county con-
vention on the following Tuesday,
October 9th. Nominations will
be made for all county officers to
be elected this fall and for the
members of the Legislature, Levy
Court, inspectors and assessors
over the county. The new county
committee of Kent has re-apportio
ned the convention delegates so
that no representative district can
heareafter claim unfair represen-
tatlon in county government. To
each legislative district, five dele
gates were allotted, and the new
rules in accordance with that ar
rangement were adopted. The
conventions, hereafter, will consist
OF fifty voting delegates. Kent's
new county committee, according
to the new county rules, will CON
tain twenty instead Of nineteen
members as heretofore. The rules
allow West Dover, the Fourth rep
resentative district, two county
committeeman instead of but one,
as heretofore. Prior to the meet
ing last week it was the custom to
have one county committeeman for
each election or voting place. By
mutual agreement, however, West
Dover, which has but one voting
place (Hazletville,) was given two
committeeman and Luther Steward
and Charles J. Luff ran for the
office and were elected, the action
being ratified by the county COM
mittee.
