These crude observations would
seem to suggest that behind this elu-
sive, indefinable, seemingly capricious
subject of attraction there rests Ger
tain law, albeit it may seem to con-
tradict other postulates which are &C.
cepted as laws. We have the axionat-
ic deductions that birds Of feather
flock together and that like seeks
like.
These, no doubt, are good working
principles, and may be applied in a
general way, but when we come to
anything so subtle and SO psychic as
this secret attraction between human
beings it would seem that it is regu-
lated by the law OF opposites. The
mans woman, therefore, is she who
has some essential qualities of woman
liness in her, and the woman's woman
must possess some essential qualities
of manliness, while the most attractive
and retaining of al is the woman
whose quality defies all definition, who
draws all the world to her, men, wom-
en- and children alike, because of her
inherent possession of that rarest and
least to be analyzed of all qualities
for which we find 70 better word than
that potent little monosyllable, charm.

One often hears the expression: 'Oh,
she's mans woman!" or She's a
womans woman!" and certainly the
differentiation is just. Occasionally
it happens that the two are COM
bined in one person, and then
we may, with the exactness OF
science, pronounce tina: the secret Of
this womans attraction lies in the
possession of that most subtle, most
difficult of all attributes to define,
which we know as charm.
But charm is very rare. If we
meet with it half dozen times in a
life we may think ourselves fortunate.
We are sure that Cleopatra possessed

search goes to prove that she was not
beautiful, and we are equally sure that.
had she been the most beautiful of her
sex and that alone, we should never
have heard of her. Great beauty is
rare, but as all things are relative
in this life, it would seem that, COM
pared to that prominent power which
we call charm, beauty is but a CON-
mon and everyday affair.
Beauty without charm will attract,
but not retain, while charm without
beauty will both draw and hold the ad-
rliration. Sometimes the two exist to-
gether, as in the case of Nine. Reca-
mier. But can we doubt which Of
these qualities it is that has made her
live? If her attraction had been mere
beauty, would she have been sought in
marriage at the age of 80 by one of
the greatest men of his time? True
she is known to have retained her
beauty to an extraordinary degree, but
that alone and of itself would not be
a sufficient explanation Of this fact
in her history.

In this connection it may be inter-
esting to consider what may be the
effect of the present tendency toward
equalizing the attributes of the TWO
sexes. 1t has been claimed that If,
in becoming voters and bread-winners,
women must needs lose some of thcir
femininity, men, on the other hand.
would be gamers, from the fact that
the association of the two sexes at the
polls and in places of business would
tend to impart to them some of the
gentleness and modesty which are sup
posed to be the attributes of woman.
This being SO, the two sexes would
become more alike and, what, in ef-
feet, would be the loss and gain from
this?
No doubt, in the sense of practical
utility, the gain would be great, for
the matter of sex, and the consldera-
ton which is at present demanded for
women, is often nuisance in the
rough and tumble cf business life, and
any new condition which placed the
sexes more on level would make mat
ters simpler for working purposes. But,
on the other hand, how great would
ho the loss to the other side of mems
and womens natures! The disappear
aDce of that element of mystery which
constitutes so large part of the pow
er OF attraction between the sexes
would make life a somewhat tame af-
fair for each of them. Unquestion-
ably, if the mental, the psychic and
the spiritual are to be considered, this
equalizing of the sexes is to be TO-
piored.

the greatest men of his time? True
she is known to have retained her
beauty to an extraordinary degree, but
that alone and of itself would not be
a sufficient explanation of this fact
in her history.
But what of the women who belong
cut that rare quality Of charm can
both attract and retain the admiration
and affection-whether of women or of
men?
Evidently, If we reflect we find that
to be what is known either as "a mans
woman" or "a woman's woman" there
must be some powerfully attracting
quality.
Now, what is this quality? The SUBJ
ject seems to fall into two divisions.
Observation and reflection point to the
conclusion that an admired and be-
loved woman exercises wholly different
qualities to win the different sexes
What is it in women which most
pleases men and what is it which most
pleases women?
The mans woman, it would seem, is
very sure to possess, in some form, the
quality known as feminine. She Iced
not of necessity be weak and helpless
indeed, that form of the feminine
may attract, but it will not hold-bu.
she must have some of the qualities
which specially differentiate her from
man. She must give him, in their
whole relation, what he could not get
from any man friend, as social or
reiatlve-the quality which Goethe calls
the eternal feminine"
An experienced woman who knew
men pretty we'll once said to the writer
that there was one appeal to which
she had never known any man fail to
respond-and that was a certain sort
of cowardice in woman.
Let any woman, she said, no matter
how commonplace or ugly, become ter
rified by tramp or burglar, or even
describe herself as having been so,
and adds: You men have no concep-
ton of what that feeling is in a poor.
defenseless woman" and the man will
respond to it as cat to stroking!
And why Is this? What quality in
man does this course in woman ap-
neal to so strongly? Is it his selfish
ness, because he likes the implica-
ton of his superior mental and physi-
cal strength? Or is it his unselfishness,
because he is touched by the helpless
Of -
be, the fact remains that, although a
man may express approval of plucky
conduct in a woman, it appeals to him
on the masculine lines, and he pays it
the same sort of tribute that he would
pay man, which is an abstract COM
mendation that has nothing to do with
love or tenderness or any strong oer-
sonal emotion.
And as a man likes the woman who
depends on him and reaches out for
his support, in like degree, on the
other hand, he despises man for
those qualities. All of which goes to
prove that, just SO surely as mar
demands of men to be manly, he de-
mands of women TO be womanly.
TrIstfulness and dependence being IN
heIent parts of "the ever womany,"
these are essential qualities in the
mans woman. There may be many
others that attract, but unless these
he there also the others will fal of
their due effort, and while a woman
may be complimented and approved by
men without possessing these quail
ties, she will not be loved or chosen

CHEAPER GAS.

1he announcement of cheaper gas to
consumers is received with qualification.
1t is true there is great difference in
the price of gas when it is manufactured
and in the price which has prevailed
for the natural product, but even these
rates have been too high. In the reduc-
ton of rates there will follow greater
of gas in domestic use and
for manufacturing purposes. And as
the gas is obtained at a nominal cost, it
follows that increase of consumption
must lead to greater financial returns
for the company furnishing it.

The Cowboy Bishop.

Once while still bishop of Wyoming

Paul to attend meeting Of dignitaries
of the church There one noon, on the
porch Of the hotel, tramp approached
a group Of bishops and asked for aid.

But down there Is the youngest bishop

"and he's very generous man."
The tramp went to Bishop Talbot,
and the others watched with interest.
They saw look Of surprise come over
the tramp's face; they saw that the
bishop was talking eagerly, earnestly:
they saw the tramp look perturbed.
but they finally saw that something
passed from hand to hand.

speaking to those of the group, but the
former spokesman called to him.

people in the neighborhood are of the
opinion that the coil of hair was placed
there in accordance with prevalent
custom of pioneer times. This custom
provided that when a man and wife
could not get along or agree instead of
separating, as in these days, the neigh

London to Have the Most Magnificent
Town House In Europe.
London is to have a romance in mar

1t in New York, at any of the exclusive
resorts or anywhere on the continent.

The somewhat old fashioned exterior
of Sir Ernest Cassel's new residence.
Brook House, now just cleared of an
intricate network of scaffolding, gives
little idea of the work within and the
remarkable architectural undertaking
that is transforming the mansion into
the most magnificent town house in
London.
Its splendor challenges comparison
with Arabian Nights palaces. and
eastern romance is rivaled by present

corners of the earth have been ram
sacked to produce the various mate
rials for the fuIillment of the owners

rial, and it is said his report to the pope
deprecated its quality SO that he might
obtain a monopoly Of the mine for his

Of Angeles masterpieces were chseled

Not only is the actual stairway in
Brook House of this marble, but the
floors and walls are paneled with the

seventeen feet in height, hewn out of
the solid block, give support to the

vein of color is visible in these pillars,
and the greatest difficulty has been
experienced in getting such immense
pieces without flaw.
There is no Roman dining room in

The most wonderful feature of Rio

Albert Hale in the Reader. Imagine,

there are ugliless, dirt and disease in
its midst; that Its streets are Ill paved,
UNIV wholesome AMI unequal to the traf-

change all this by drawing q straight
line through her slums, say, from the
river at Madison street to the corner
of Twelfth and Halstead streets, with
other straight lines. parallel and at
right angles through other eenters of
slumdom! And imagine Chicago after
pulling down brick and stone, wood
and plaster, erecting on these straight
lines broad, well paved, we'll lighted

houses, all newly built according to
one harmonious scheme so that air
and sunshine enter where they were
before unknown and so that 1t be-
comes pleasure to walk where hith.
erto confusion and discomfort were
unavoidable
This is what Rio did The Avenida
was cut literally through the heart of
the city.
From the sth of March, 1904, when
the first house was unroofed, until the
opening of the Avenida for public use,
Nov. Is, 1905, the Brazilian national
holiday of independence, there were
641 houses demolished and over 1900
people scattered to other and healthier
homes. The reactionists who object to
the whole plan say that for tropical
city the old streets were best; that
these new broad avenues which bring
sunlight into dark places have also
brought the first cases of sunstroke
into Rio. They fail to realize of course,
what cleanliness and fresh air signify.
The total cost of the Avenida may
reach $S0,0O0,OOO, but it will be worth
every cent.
OF course there are slums still In evi-
dence In Rio. A city Of 10000 people,
one-third Of whom are negroes, and
many of these of the lowest, most ig-
norant type, cannot be reformed all at

GOVERNOR HUGHES
His Fighting Qualities Forcing His OPP
ponents Into Disadvantage.

New Orleans States: Gov. Hughes
of New York has shown his fighting
qualities by turning defeat for himself
into what promises to be rout of the
forces combined against him in the Leg
stature The situation looked very
blue for him when the Senate defeated
his effort to remove Kelsey, the ineffi-
cient if not worse, superintendent of the
State insurance department. thus block
ing the reforms in the insurance busi-
ness the people desired. Governor
Hughes was quick to grasp the meaning
Of the situation, and he determined that
the republican party of New York
should go on record as standing either
for the banded grafters in the Legisla-
ture or for the reform policies set forth
in the platform upon which he was
elected. With this purpose in mind he
demanded that the Republican State
Committee be called together and that it
instruct the Republicans in the Legislt-
ture to sustain his efforts to carry out
the party's pledges.
The State Committee yielded to the
Governors demand promptly and the
mere announcement of the fact was stf
6cient to smash the alliance i'll the Sen
ate between seventeen Tammany ma
chine Democrats and ten machine Re-
publieans and there has been hurrying
to cover ON the part of the Republican
end of the combine which but few
days ago were in complete control of
the legislative situation and was about
to begin the slaughter of all the Gov
ernor's measures, which included the
public utilities bill, the recount bill and
reapportonment bill.
The Infamous alliance has been de-
stroyed before it could accomplish any
of its work, but the fact that seventeen
out of nineteen Democratic senators
espoused the cause of the graft system
instead Of that of the people is a dis
grace that rests upon the Democratic
party which will and ought to suffer for
the conduct of its representatives 1t is
such things as these that make men
turn with disgust from party
leaders and party organization. Gov
ernor Hughes himself has refused to
have any dealings with the Republican
machine, or to confer with its leaders,
for he knows that both are notoriously
corrupt He has made these men under
stand that he is the Governor, not of
but of the people of New York,
and neither the servant nor the boss of
any clique of politicians.
Having regained control of the sltua-
ion at Albany there is now little reason
%. doubt that the reform measures to
which Governor Hughes is pledged will
90 through the Legislature as the result
of Caucus action on the part of the Re-
publican majority in the Senate
