PoLITENESS IN RAINSToRM.

Citizen with Umbrella shows How
Courteous New Workers Can Be.
The politest man in New York was
paying gallant attention to the ladies
for two hours at 5th avenue and 35th
street yesterday afternoon, according
TO the New York World. F. Hopkins
Smith, author. artist and engineer, Ia
mented at the Southern society's din
ner the other night that I'VE live in
the most insolent city in the world.
Mr.. Smith would have been delight
ed to study this very polite man.
A drizzling. penetrating rain was
falling. The polite man carried a very
large umbrella. In the most defer
entail manner he urged women who
had been shopping and who waited
buses going uptown to find shelter
from the rain In the doorways of the
shops on the northeast corner and
near 1t.
Then, raising his silk hat, he asked
each woman courteously If she want
ed 5th avenue bus or a Riverside
drive bus. As bus approached he
halted IL and asked the conductor how
many places were vacant. Learning
this. he told the women waiting in
the doorways. and, in turn. escorted to
the bus as many women as there we're
places for. He protected the women
so carefully under his big umbrella
that his high hat and seal-lined over
coat soon were soaking wet
Plainly some women were grateful
for his attention; some giggled; some
resented his addressing them as If
they feared his motives But his de-
corous, deferen.ial manner never
changed About o'clock. after escort
ing scores OF women to the buses, he
started up 9Th avenue.
why have you been doing this?'
a reporter asked him.
Il Just wanted to show people that
New York men are polite" he answer

Personal Mngnetiam a era, =.

Personal Magnetism a Great Asset.
There have been great advocates at
the bar whose charming manner, like
the presence in court of some of the
worlds famous beauties, would so
sway the jury and the judge as to en-
danger and sometimes actually divert
justice. says Orison SWEET Marden in
Success Magazine. A gracious, genial
presence, a charming personality.
refined, fascinating manner are well
come where mere beauty is denied
and where mere wealth Is turned
away. They will make better i'm
preston than the best education or
the highest attainments An attract
i've personality, even without great
ability, often advances one when great
talent and special training will not.
There is always a premium upon a
charming presence. Every business
man likes to be surrounded by people
of pleasing personality and winning
manners. They are regarded as splen.
did assets.
What is it that often enables one
person to walk RICH. into position
and achieve without difficulty that
which another with perhaps greater
ability, struggles in vain to accom-
plish? Everywhere a magnetic per-
sonality wins its way.
Young men and young women are
constantly being surprised by offers OF
excellent positions which come to
them because of qualities and charac.
teristics which. perhaps. they have
never thought much about-a fine
manner. courtesy. cheerfulness and
kindly, obliging. helpful dispositions.

ARTIFICIAL sAPPHIREs APPEAR.
Dealers Say They Can't Tell the

Dealers Say They Can't Tell the
Synthetic" stones from Real.
Excitement was caused in the Maid
en- Lane district recently by the ar
rival Of the first of the synthetic sap
phires, made according to a new pro-
cess, the discovery of which was an.
nounced several weeks ago from Paris,
the New York Times says. Dealers say
that the trade has not been so much
agitated since the first synthetic ru-
bies appeared in New York in 1893.
One Of the dealers who received
some of the stones said that, although
he had been selling sapphires all his
life he cannot see any difference be-
tween the synthetic product and the
natural stones. He said that he had
tried all ordinary tests on the new
stones without finding the slightest
difference between them and natural
sapphires.
One dealer said the results would be
disastrous to the trade if it proved
impossible to distinguish between the
natural and the artificial stones. This
would mean that a vast amount of
money now invested in sapphires,
which have been selling at from 500
to 5000 carat. would be lost to the
owners.
At the same time that the artificial
sapphires reached New York there
appeared in the wholesale markets
new variety of imitation made of an
exceedingly hard and brilliant quail
ity of glass. Warnings were at once
sent out by wholesale dealers to test
all stones with hydrofiuoric acid,
which quickly eats into and disfigures
even the hardest glass. Maiden Lane
was especially indignant because the
glass limitations were offered under
the name of synthetic sapphires in
order to get prices much higne, than
they would be paid If they were sold
for what they are.
