Now, there's Emily" said the older
one. She's a girl 1 like pretty well,
a girl I'd like to have my mother and
sisters know Her are charm
ing, and she always knows just when
to talk and what to say. But, for all
that, I think I'd soon tire of her. She
has no mind Of her own. She is always
ready to take my word for everything,
and gives me the least chance
for an argument. L know the world
says that men admire the docile girl

In any matter where men are con-
cerned n who is always ready to con-
suit her lord ana master in every
little thing. But not me. l like a girl
with some spirit"
Yes" drawled the other man, and
If she was h~igh-spirited and able to
think and do for herself there would
be some other fault to find. Give me
the quiet, demure girl every time-the
girl who will think ne one has brains
but me-"
Yours is a w~ell-developed ease of
ego, young man." said another who
Joined the group in time to hear the

most in a GIRL" the older of the two
said to the as the latter
lighted a cigarette and puffed little
rings of smoke into space,
THAT would be difficult replied the
other. "Most women have SO many
fine qualities that it would be a task to
enumerate them. 1 know a number of
nice girls, and I admire no two for the
same reason. There is only one among
the girls ] am we'll acquainted with
whom I do not like as well as h rest,
and she uses slang"
The conversation ended abruptly as
the men rose to join the ladies' in the
drawing-room, but one who was a
party to the conversation was SO i'm
pressed that he repeated part of 1t to
his sisters In their own home.
THAT ought to be a lesson to you
girls to avoid slang" he said.
Many girls unconsciously fall into bad
conversational habits, and indulge in
frequent slang phrases, as well as in
correct grammar, not realizing that
carelessness in speech Is as detrimental
to their charms as untidy frock or
frizzled heads.
Nothing detracts more from a girls
charm thar vulgar slang and incorrect
use of English, and when it takes SO
little trouble to remedy this fault it is
strange to note how many girls are
wofully careless In this direction.

If you want to be altogether charming

rcrs from your conversation. No one
