The Charming Woman.

Once in a while one runs across a
clever woman who has cultivated the
art of becoming charming, which,
after all, simply consists in trying to
be pleasing. TO be this should be
the ambition of every woman, for,
after all, it is women who supply the
grace and beauty of life, and failing
to do this is failure to perform one
of her individual duties.
Carried to excess this desire be-
comes afectation. pleasing" is not
always agreeing with the last person
who has spoken, as many seem to
think. That sort of thing detracts
from the character of the one who
does it.. But pleasing" in it's true
sense is graciousness, tact and sin
cere desire to- offend the feelings of
no one.
It is perfectly possible to disagree
without giving offense, to express
opinions quite different from those
held by another speaker. One can
become positive without becoming
aggressive, and determined without
brutality. 1t is largely question of
tact.
Goodness of heart is the real basis
of a pleasing manner. A woman who
is kind-hearted does not wish to hurt
the feelings of others; she wishes to
please and give happiness and pleas
ure by her presence. A polite wo-
man who is clever realizes that
through charm of manner she gains
popularity, and cultivates it accord
ingly. Yet success is far less likely
to attend her efforts than she who
tries for goodness. The nature of
the former rarely rings true; it is not
deep and sincere, for it springs from
artihciality instead of truth and is
less apt to be convincing.
A woman in business who has
charm of manner possesses capital
sometimes more valuable than mon
ey. Few actresses succeed without
it; those who have it to a marked
degree have saved more than one
play that was not strong enough to
stand alone. There is no royal road
for reaching this desirable quality,
but goodness of heart, sincerity of
character, truth and an honest desire
to please are paths that will lead to
it.

A Girls Success.

In 1908, I had obtained my parent
permission to utilize the neglected
strips of ground around the garden
fence to use and plant as I chose, the
proceeds to be my very own. A
wholesale slaughter of weeds, brush,
briars, etc., which were numerous
from lack of attention in many years,
and the reclamation of an old, aban-
doned corner, equally neglected, were
the first results obtained. Of course,
this required a lot of hard work and
a goodly share of pluck to put in
shape.
I have no correct account of what
I realized the first season, but in the
spring of 1904 I again took charge,
spading the soil moderately deep,
working barnyard manure we'll into
the soil and smoothing the surface
nicely. I planted early vege-
tables, such as radishes, peas and
lettuce. From these little border
strips one-half the distance around
the kitchen garden fence, the other
half being set to berries and grape
vines, and from the old abandoned
corner, furnished lot of vegetables
for the home table, and sold over
$40 worth BESIDES I wish [ could
give the combined returns from the
start: The great satisfaction to my
self lies not only in having realized
SO much, but in having produced SO
pleasing an effect with SO small an
amount Of effort. [ shall continue
my work next year

THE HOUSEHOLD.

to look upon if she keeps herself ex-
quisitely neat and dainty, for neat
ness and daintiness have beauty all
their own
Many a mans interest in girl has
been checked because he found her
untidy about her home.
Neatness is the foundation of good
style in dress. A gown may be alb
solutely up-to-date in every respect,
but if it is put on in a slovenly fash
ion the effect is spoiled
Unblackened shoes or button off
a glove will spoil the smartest cos
tune. No hat can look pretty when
perched on an untidy head.
Never neglect your personal ap-
pearance, girls; make yourselves as
neat and pretty as you can. It will
add fifty per cent to your attractive
ness.

II is understood that as a basis for

ed States and Canada Secretary Root
has proposed the adoption by the Do
minion OF the American tariff sched-
ules in their entirety. as against other
countries. Great Britain included.
Coming from any other than so lofty
an official source the proposition would
seem impracticable almost to the point
Of absurdlty. The establishment OF
uniform tariff rates and their uniform
enforcement would necessitate on Can
ada's part withdrawal from the British
empire and political union with the
United States. Such a merger would
also involve the complete abandon

tions. Canada would spurn either OF

WAGES AND THE TARIFF.
Some Reckless Admissions Made BY
Democratic Leacer.

In a speech in congress the other
day Hon. John sharp Williams re-
viewed the coming OF immigrants TO
this country. the swelling stream ever
since colonial days. lie said they
came TO better their condition: that
there was a falling OF in panic years.
but that the rule was a steady Inflow.
He gave as one reason the higher
wages paid in this country and said:

That is very reckless talk for lead
er IN congress. Can Mr.. Williams ex-
plain why there was always a falling
on In immigration when free trade
was the rule In our country?
Without celebrating or going back
beyond the memories Of middie.aged
men. it Is enough to say that In 1898,
1894 and 1895. skilled iaborers' wages
fell 40 per cent: common laborers'
wages fell 30 per cent. and thousands

Forty years OF almost exclusive at

SO. l19.172. $40. not counting trade with
Porto Rico and Hawaii which will
bring the total to nearly s3.200.0OO..
000-an increase Of over 400 per cent.
Forty years ago our imports we're

TO indicate a considerable attention

gree OF success. II suggests that

The New York Times makes bold
TO say that III we reduced the tariff
we should import more goods, and
we should also export more goods
Import more we certainly should II
our tariff rates were lowered. and
more yet II we had no tariff at all.
II to increase our imports be the
main consideration, why have any
tariff9
But does It follow that our exports
would increase In equal ratio? And,
il so. what sort OF commodities would
we more largely export than we now
do? Certainly not manufactures, for.
even though the American wage
standard were TO be reduced down TO
the foreign level--a proposition. by
the way. which opens up a vista OF
grave consequences which no man
can contemplate without a shudder OF
fear and dTead-Our lower priced
goods would not be allowed TO invade
the markets OF manufacturing coun-
tries. Corresponding wage reductions
would inevitably occur In such coun-
tries The workers in European
mills and factories must somehow
and at some wage be employed.
Otherwise chaos comes again.
Not in foodstuffs could our exports
greatly increase under a lower tariff
or no tariff. for the reason that by so
much as we should succeed in dis
placing production or in reducing
wages in foreign countries. by so
much we should reduce their ability
TO take and pay for our surplus food
products.
No; Il does not follow that greater
exports go with greater imports. IL
was not so from 1898 to 1897 We
are now exporting fully twice the
quantity which We then exported.
Reduction Of the tariff with a view
TO increasing competitive imports
must OF necessity break down the
American wage rate. Nobody, we
believe, disputes that The free
trader and the tariff "feformer" will
tell you that wages are too high and
ought 10 come down but that lower
cost of living will compensate for the
cut In wages This Is like lnficting

less. but the wound is still there. and

ton. then. is whether Il is wise to in
