NAUGHTY GIRLS NOT POPULAR.
Some really pretty girls are so fool
ish because they will persist in 'hid-
ing their light under a bushel." or, in
other words, slowing away their
charms under cover of ridiculously
naughty manner. When any one adj
dresses girl of this type she imme-
diately raises her eyebrows, shrugs
her shoulders and replies languidly:
"Oh. do you think so? l don't
agree at ALL
Somehow you don't feel like talk
ing to her any more, and you make
an excuse and get away Yet, strange
to say, she still continues in the same
fashion until one by one, her &C
quaintances drop away from her.
That girl doesn't seem to understand
that it is her manner which is causing
her the loss of her best friends. At
ter all, it is the unaffected, simple
girl, who conquers in this world of
ours, who is always ready with
bright, cheering smile, and to whom
you can confide your most treasured
whole-hearted sympathy. In sorrow
or joy, in sickness or trouble, she is
ready with helping hand and
cheerful word to lessen the pain and
bring home and happiness back to the
aching heart
Perhaps it is that the naughty
girl" believes her manner is taking"
Let mescorrect that error before it
goes a1Yl further. A man prefers

NOCONClUS|ON
BY DELEGATES
Those Who will Attend RepubIi.
can City Convention Met In
Caucus Last Night.
DATE FOR THE CONVENTION.

AT the caucus of the delegates to
the republican city convention held
in the Garfield Battery rooms last
night, no definite conclusions were
reached. October 8 was mentioned
as the date for the convention, but
this was not fixed permanently and
may be changed.
The convention will nominate an
alderman-at-large and comptroller.
While it is generally accepted that
John Pfeiffer will be renominated for
alderman-at-large, unexpected oppo-
sition developed last night when a
delegate from the Fourth ward rails
ed a question as to the advisability
of remaining Mr.. Pfeiffer. The mat
ter was discussed and the great ma
jority seemed to favor Mr.. Pfeiffer.
No action was taken.
The same is true Of the comptroll-
ership. Judging from the discussion
John Ten Brock seemed to be in
the lead for the nomination, although
the name of William S. Duncan was
brought forth.
The caucus adjourned to meet one
week later when it is hoped to de-
eide definitely as to the convention
date and the probable candidates.
