Every feminine creature has a very

Intellectual, nor amiable, nor energetic,

And, after all, il is a pathetic fact
rather than a ludicrous one, for no one
could possibly know better than a wom-

depends upon her looks
Men Inconsistent.
I hear men declare constantly that the
pretty girl is apt to be a bore and too
egOtistiCal to be pleasant: that the girl
who has rot handsome face must be
proportionateIy entertaining to even
matters up a bit-and. therefore, give
them the girl WITH It classical features
and dreamy eyes. Alas, that those
same men are fOui oftenest in the So
ciety of those who are known as bellies.
Not long ago L came upon Anne seated
before mirror, studying her features
in 1t in shameless fashion.
