woMAN's VANITY
 MANS ASSET

Every time hear Q man talk about the vanity of women l am moved 10 ask by what right he presunes to criticise. If women are vain men are accessory before the fact. Ever since the first man found the weak spot in woman's armor the sex has spared no effort to develop in us that self-approvfng characteristic through which we have become its pIaything!
 Ry his appeal to feminine vanity man has maintained bis title to the upper hand. Without 1t he would be servant instead of master. He would be compelled to stand on his merits alone, and how few could survive the test?
 Very early in life the masculine mind absorbs its lesson. The youth finds that he is no match in wit or resources for the girl of his own age So he seeks to acquire by diplomacy what he regards as his by right.
 He learns to fiatter. to compliment and to cajole. He disco esrs that wo- man is disposed to be ienient toward his faults in proportion as he empha- sizes his admiration of her virtues.
 Since women must conquer by her charm, 1t Is not surprising that she Is not indifferent to appreciation of it. | wears because it makes her more at tractive to masculine eyes Is more highly prized when she is assured that 1t has fulfilled its purpose.
 When a woman is told again and again that she is beautiful. 1t is natu- ral that she should come to believe 1t and seek to enhance her charm by such artifice as has been the preroga- tive of her sex since Cleopatra wooed A aIalx frxfl lra Fnla n of Troy.
 Women vain? Yes, we admit it. Otherwise lot Of men who have won better wives than they deserve would be still single. They would not be able to escape buying sadly needed hat or gown byNremarking how pretty she looked in the old age. They no longer could pass off theit little indiscere- tons with a kiss and compliment or atone for long hours of neglect by minutes of tenderness.
 If women are vain, men are the ones who profit. And it Is foolish man who seeks to kick over Ihe ladder on which he climbs

MATRIMoNY'S PLACE
 IN OUR MODERN LIFE

There are few unmarried men who. however much they may have failed at other jobs. do not fervently believe In their ability to succeed as husbands
 Later on large number of them have cause to change their minds; when, nearly always, they are con- vinced that the failure Is the fault of the woman; they would have been the most excellent husbands in the world if only they had married the right girl instead of the wrong one. says The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
 It scarcely can be denied that many men really do marry the wrong wo- man, but 1t is equally true that in the majority of these cases the woman al- so has married the wrong man. and sometimes any woman who had marri- ed him would have found herself in the same predicament.
 It is an exceedingly ancient theory that all men and women are created in hairs; that for each and every one there is his or her complementary mate.
 Only, often the affinities are separat- ed by the width of the world, more or less and SO never meet, when. marri- age being a natural and inherent ln- stinct of the human race. they marry some one else's affinity. In such case the resulting degree of matrimonial bliss or misery largely if not wholly depends upon the adaptability of the contracting parties.
 Experiences and observation go to prove that affinities are developed rather than made In full perfection at first sight
 It would almost be a miracle if two people, having identicaliy the same tastes, tendencies and desires. in per feet sympathy with each other, could meet and marry.
 Even among brothers and sisters. members of the same family. there are differences: how much more with strangers.
 In the first place. there is the radi- cal dIssimilarity of the masculine and feminine temperaments; difference which, rightly directed. makes to un- ion. upon the Fundamental principle that "opposites attract" but which aI- so. upon occasion serves to repel
 Training and environment are mighty In shaping character; heredity the nerennial which always is cropping up in unexpected places, is another powerful factor to be dealt with.
 No sensible woman engages a ser want without a satisfactory reference 1; no business man In his right mind conhdes his money to plausible stranger.

FOR HAIR DRESSING.

You girls who stick your hair full of fancy pins. combs, clasps. barettes. bows. bands. and snoois have no idea how cheap and overdone 1t looks or you would not do 1t. counted four fancy combs. two barettes, e huge bow, two fancy clasp pins. and . rib bon snOod in a head of pretty auburn hair near me just now, and the mel ange of ornaments simply made 1t ridiculous.

MEN SEEK THE WOMAN
 WHO POSSESSES TACT

The mans woman is not always beautiful or even good looking. In- deed. she is often quite the reverse Yet wherever she goes she is a gen. eral favorite with the opposite sex She Is absolutely natural. There are no airs and graces about her She Is just herself. The woman who is always on her dignity with men is seldom very popular. On the other hand although a few of them find her amusing for the time being. men sell dom like and never respect the women who makes herself cheap.
 The women whose company men in- yariabiy seek is the woman who pos sesses the happy knack of suiting her self to circumstances. She makes every one feel at ease in her company. A man hates to be on his best behavior and to feel that his every action is criticised.
 The mans woman understands and makes allowances. She ia intensely sympathetic and keenly interested fn everything and everybody around. But the acme of her interest is centred in the person with whom she happens to be. And that very interest Is. in its way. the sublest form of nattery. but no man likes 10 know that he is being nattered. The wise woman Knows this and acts accordingly.
 Then. too. the woman men like has a keen sense of humor and way or looking at the bright side of things But her jokes are never made at the expenses of other people. If she can not say something good about a friend acquaintance she certainly won t say anything evil. 4 man knows tn- stfnctiyely that she is to be trusted and the shyest and almost awkward members of the opposite sex almost Invariably feel at their best in her society.
 She takes e liberal view of fife. and she does not ruthlessly pronounce sen- tence on any of her sister women who do not happen to be built on the same lines as herself. She is always ready to help and pity, but never 10 condemn. She does not expect admira- fion from every man she meets. but. on the other hiS,d Is ready to admire and give way to others. She makes point of cultivating unselfshness, and she will sit for an hour listening with the keenest interest while Mir. X goes into raptures over the charm ing Miss A; Such lovely, rippiy gold en hair-such expressive, dark eyes. And her complexion is all lilies and roses and prettier even in the morning than by the evening light.
 What if she happens to know that two years previously Miss As hair was d1ngy brown sld her complexion more or less mud eolored: It is no business of hers. All MT x wants for the moment is a good listener, some one to whom he can unburden his heart. And if his present companion IS nor as keenly interested as she ap- pears he Is not aware of the fact
