CHARACTER In the rnee.

As there is one glory OF the sun and
another of the moon, so there are two
beauties to the human face-one OF
youth--another of expression
women whose ambition II is TO ellmi-
nate by massage or cosmetics every
line from their faces are vainly en-
deavoring to grasp a charm they
have lost while effacing wonderful
beauty that only years and spiritual
living can bring.
The radiance of q child's innocent
face the peach bloom unlined cheek
OF youth, is only beautiful as an out
ward and visible sign OF the youth II
proclaims and of which the world
demands nothing save innocence.
But as life advances the world looks
for more In the human spirit of the
individual, and with the dawn of
soul and experience the artist Time
begins to trace the wonderful etching
OF thought and feeling upon the hui
man face that tell the life story. It
is then the face acquires what men
term character, and II women would
give half the thought to making their
lives of love and tenderness, instead
of wrinkles of petulance and iIl-temp-
er, there would be no need to seek
by artificial means to efface from their
faces the record of what their lives
stand for.

THE Graceful GIRL.
Has an Air Of Superiority That Forces
Her Upon Our Notice.

Have you ever noticed the great
amount OF admirinR attention which
the graceful girl attracts7 Although
moderately good looking. aud not
prettily or smartly dressed. there IL
an air Of natural superiority about
her which forces her upon our no
tice This superiority lies in the
fact that the graceful Girl knows
how 10 poise her boGy correctly. how
TO walk and sit becomingly. Con-
sequently no matter what she wears
or what her features may be like, she
always appears 10 the best advantage.
A plain girl who knows how 20
stand, move. and sit with ease Is far
more admired than the beauty who
IL clumsy and awkward Some girls
are naturally graceful But there is
no reason why those who are lacking
In this respect should not add TO
their charms by carefully cultiyating
the art. An erect carriage, grace
ful walk. a graceful manner Of sitting
and rising are necessary II a girl
wishes to be really charming. And Il
Is quite within her own power 10 ac-
quire these virtues. In the first place
she must study her own defects and
the faults OF other girls In order that
she may avoid them.
DO not try TO copy the graceful girl
OFF hand, so to speak, by forcing your
self into what, TO you would be un-
natural poses and attitudes That Is
not the way to cultivate graeefulness
In fact by doing so you will probably
only make yourself more awkward
and clumsy. by always trying to
avoid the little faults which prevent
a girl from becoming graceful, you
will as time goes on find yourself drift
ing quite naturally into the ways and
manners OF the graceful girl.

Iier Ans wer.

An Atchison girl had a proposal OF
marriage Sunday night, and asked a
week TO think 1t over She went 20
all OF her married sisters One, who
used to be belle, had three children,
did all her own work, and hadn't been
to a theatre or out riding since she
was married. Another, whose hus-
band was promising young man at
the time she was married, was sup
porting him. A third didn't dare say
her life was her own, when her hus-
band was around, and fourth was
divorced. After visiting them and
hearing their woes, the heroine OF this
little tale went home, got pen and ink
and paper and wrote an answer 10 the
young man. You may think Il was
