for half an hour more he might have

Charm of the Anran.

Nowadays, when woman wishes to
subdue man or win him to her whims,
she puts on her finest frock and wooes
him. Foolish girl so to trouble her
self! She could do it twice as easily
and many times as cheaply if she were
TO top off an old gown with any pat
tern of apron. Every kind is an arrow
in her culver. AT least the Cleveland
Leader says so. When she wears one
of the kitchen brand thaG runs from
collar to hem of skirt, bares her white
arms and mikes up batch of flap
jacks, she fascinates man with her
domesticity. When she dons the par
lor or gold thimble pattern, resplend-
ent with the lace, cogaettish of peck
ct, and so trim and provocative about
the waist that man has to grind his
teeth and grip hard at the arms of his
chair, he is perfectly willing to abase
his head ana let her put her Cuban
heels on his neck.

Man to Man.

After the last wagon had ratified up
and left its precious package on Christ
mas eve, Dolly's mother thought the
occasion a suitable one for impressing
something of the religious significance
OF the festive season upon her small
consciousness.
So while she undressed her she
pointed out the window to where Mars
burned in the heavens and said
THAT beautiful star is your heavenly
father wishing you d happy Christmas.
Now what should you do to show him
how grateful you are?"

CALLED FOR HIS SYMPATHY
Portly Gentleman Understood Just
How Fair Lady Suffered.

Whenever get into evening
dress, said man whose clothes now
fit him pretty snugly, 4 am reminded
Of story | read once about a French
lady who lived in Paris.
This lady had lovely figure,
whose beauty she sought to enhance
by tight lacing. When she was going
out at night she used to lace before
dinner because if she waited until aft
er, Why then she couldn't get herself
down to where she wanted to. So
she used to lace and then eat sparing-
ly, as she was compelled to, and one
night when she had got herself down
particularly fine she was going to
make her dinner on a dozen raw
oysters, which she thought would be
nourlshing and satisfying and at the
same time easy to eat and not bulky
and as she laced she looked longingly
forward to those oysters waiting for
her, for she was hungry as 40 cats.
But do you know that, hungry as
she was, when she came to the oysters
she couldn't eat them all? She could
not. For she knew that if she did
something would have to give way.
She managed to eat eight of them
all right, and she ate the ninth, the
tenth and the eleventh, but those last
three she ate with growing conscious
ness that she was perilously close to
the limit, and when she had eaten
the eleventh she knew that she must
stop; and so she was compelled to
turn from that last oyster and leave it
on the plate uneaten. Such sacrifice
she was compelled to make for the
sake of what she conceives to be a
perfect waist.
Well, when 1 get into my dress
suit | am not quite so bad off as the
French lady in the story; not quite,
but pretty near it, pretty near it, for
this suit was built years ago, when l
was younger and simmer Then it
was all right, but since then my fig
ure has increased. if not my fortune,
and now fairly bulge in it.
i have anchored the buttons and
REINFORCED the buttonholes, but still
and much as good things to eat ap-
peal to me-when l go out to dinner
III that old dress suit l know that
must eat sparingly, and as l skip the
dishes | smile to myself and | think
rather sadly that | know how to SYM

Women Who Work Hard.

More than half OF the several hun
dred people taking the course at
Lowell institute under Harvard pro-
fessors, says a Boston paper, are wom-
en-, and these courses require an at
tendance three times week. And
wherever one goes the same thing is
true, only as a general thing the pro-
portion of women in such classes
would be greater than one-half. This
does not look as though women were
wasting all their energies in the de
bauch of whist" Many women play
whist and bridge, but it is generally
those who want mental occupation
that entails little solid brain work.
The majority Of bridge players prefer
men partners, so that one sex spends
as much time as the other over cards.
