nab him on the spot. Round faced
men make the best husbands.
In justice to the men. however, the
girls should be warned not to seek
their aff1nities too soon after the new
year opens. They are told that a
round faced man is the very proper
thing in the way Of husband and
they will probably confine their search
for an affinity to the round faced men
of their acquaintance. But they
should wait awhile. Even the rounl-
est faced man wears long face until
the last of the Christmas bills are n
and the girls should tarry until the
masculine physiognomy resumes its
normal state.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

But few days more and all over
the country there will be hasty
packing of suit cases, an equally
hasty leave taking of friends and the
annual trip home for the holidays will
be begun.
And it will be happy trip for the
fortunate prodigal returning-fortu-
nate that his means permit the lux
ury of trip home at the busiest sea-
son Of the year, more fortunate that
the home ties still bind him SO strong
ly that his thoughts and his steps
lead him back to reunion with "the
folks" at Christmas tide-for not only
will it be frightened by other happy
faces, homeward bound, but there will
be the pleasurable anticipation of the
greetings of the loved ones at the
journeys end.
And this is but foretaste Of the
joys Of visiting home. There yet re-
main the handshakes OF the cid
friends--the true friends whom you
have thought Of so often while away,
and whose loyal comradeship you have
missed so much. especially if your lot
has been cast in the city with its
superficial acquaintanceships. There
are the evenings in the nome circle,
whose endearing charm you have so
oft recalled, the "reminiscences re-
counted of your younger days, the In
terest the recital Of your experiences
away from home draws, and there is
Joy in the pride reflected in mothers
face as she sits listeningj.
The holiday visit with the "old
folks" is the one bright spot in the
year, that is il you are Of + the
right sort. If you are not-well, then
the visit is nothing more than pain
full duty, patronizing of the oil
fashioned people whom you have left
behind in your advance.
And when the holiday crowds .'e-
turn. here is a little character study
for those at. home to size up" the
one returning. If he comes back
with an Its good to be home and q
hearty, whole.souled greeting for the
friends Of earlier days; with smile
and a kiss for mother and the girls,
and a hearty hand3hake for father
and the boys, Just set him down rs
broadened by his experience away as
clean. healthy minded man, and one
who will be hpnored in any commun-
ity If he comes back with an 20, l
couldn't live in a poky place like this
again" or with Sister. you
shouldn't wear such old fashioned
hats; none of the girls are wearing
them now" you may know, though
there may be no comfort in the
knowledge, that here Is one whose
character has been narrowed and not
broadened by contact with the world .
one in whose successes. II he wins
| success there will be no pleasure for
others. for in his narrow character
and dwarfed mind there is no room
| for other than self.
But. fortunately, there are few of
this kind. and most Of those that will
come with the holiday vacation crowd
will be the kind who are glad to l,s
/ back. and whom the friends at home
are as glad to welcome.

/. A CHANCE FOR THE GIRLS.

If this were only an ordinary year
drawing to a close instead of 1907.
there would not be anything especial
ly apropos in the remarks of DR..
julius Won Bernauer. who lectured in
Chicago yesterday on the alluring
subject of Love and Affinity" before
an organization with the high-sound-
ing title of the Psycho-Physiologicai
society. But this is not a common
year for one very important reason
when it ends leap year will be usher
ed in Thus when Dr., Won Bernauer
speaking on Love and Affinity" be-
fore the Psyche. Physiological society,
and just few weeks before leap
year begins, advocates the right of
women to propose to the men they
love, his remarks instantly take on a
wider significance than the usual
platform utterances. Just notice what
he says:
"The New Girl will not trust her
happiness to traditions that have
forced her to seal her lips upon her
love.
The justice of the coming genera
ton will release her from this con-
rention., She will be honest with her
self Her love will make its own
declaration. The New Man will ac-
zcept her proposal as tribute to his
manhood
And feeling certain that the girls
will freely follow his advice, DR.. Won
Bernauer gives a few tips" to the
fair ones as to how to choose life
time partner. which will guide them
when they seek about for the proper
man to whom to propose. They are:
Beware of drawing a "love blank
in the matrimonial lottery. Some
men are born devoid of the ability -
love
Marry a man who is well developed
an inch and half behind the ears,
where the chronological love bump
Is located Feel his head If neces-
sary.
Look out for the man broad behind
the ears and full under the eyes. He
makes a quarrelsome husband.
Have a care about tying up with :,
muscular man Of highly nervous TEN
permanent He is apt to turn out a
brute after marriage.
Think twice before marrying high
" spiritual man. He is apt to become
melancholy and take to drink.
But If you find round faced man
