As the couple reached the sidewalk.
Coquenil himself hesitateds In the bet

between the wood carver and this gen
tleman with his smart clothes, his
glossy silk hat, and his naughty eye

lowish brown, this mans was dark,
tinged with gray; the wood carve
wore a beard and mustache, this man
was clean shaven-finaIy, the wood
carver was shorter and heavier than
this man.
While the detective wavered, the gem
tleman stepped forward ~courteously
and opened the door of a waiting coupe.
The lady caught up her silken skirts
and was about to enter when Co

accident, and her purse fell to the
ground. ,.
Stupid brute!" exclaimed the gem
tleman angrily, as he bent over and
reached for the purse with his gloved
hand.
At the same ome Coquenil seized
the extended wrist in such fierce and
sudden attack that, before the man
could think of resisting, he was held
helpless with his left arm behind him

She Keeps Her. Views to Herself
and Has the World
Guessing"

Discretion keeps a watch on the
purse strings. Though given to tongue
curbipg, 1t is never forgotten that
money talks and its conversation is
worth while to all, but the hopeless
idealist. Unsettled bills are to content
as mammals budding g~enius-on-the-
violin to Mischa Elman.
1t is not up to the woman versed
In discretion to cut a wider swath than
her neighbors. She senses that those
neighbors would rather be deceived
than outshone, that her reputation
stands a better chance IL she does not
live up to her income nor 1uant her
superior intelligence. She regulates her
living on the old Roman doing lines
and goes out of town to cut loose.
Madam Discretion needs public opin-
ion. She may now those opinions to
be warped and despise the mental cali
bre of the holders. but she recognizes
the folly of running amuck to what her
world deems proper. Flouting conven-
tons is an amusement that holds its
worst sting for the flouter.
The discreet woman keeps her self
valuation in safety deposit. She may
think herself the greatest sort of a
winner" so long as she neither voices
nor looks her thought. Vanity smoth-
cred by unassumingness is discretion's
recipe for not being ridiculed.
II there has been a past, Madame Dis
erection does not turn aggressively pious.
Her repentance may be heartfelt, but
she knows that past stands more chance
of decent burial If she does not stir up
the ghouls by observation-disclosures.
1t is not discretion's part to take sides
in any out ones own battles. The
woman who rushes tc the fray of an
others wrong usually finds herself VIC
lently waving her blood-red '~pennant
when the real belliserents are ceoing
under a flag of truce. Sympathy for
all, pa%rtizanship for none, should be
patented as a peace promoter.
Madame Discretion learns to keep her
views to herself. Not to say what one
thinks does not imply the "wishywash-
mess OF nen-thinking. To keep the
world guessing arouses its interest and
is a safeguard against, scrapes. Nor is
this to be confounded with cowardly
straddling when a principle is at stake.
The discreet woman does not show
her hand. She may be the typical climb
er or plunger, but she is clever enough
and wise enough to keep it dark, W
from those who think they know her
best. t-i $50
Discretion is a synonym for tact. To
rush in where angels fear to test their
wings is as untactful as it is indis-
Greet. Learn to handle the world with
gloves and it will rarely give you a
black eye. says the writer in the Phila-
delphia Press.
The discreet woman SHES at an argu-
ment. Though she may be sure of her
own logic and temper, she cannot bank
on her opponent being equally we'll
poised. AS a scatterer of good man.

followed by Maitre Cure, a florid-faced,
brisk bushy-haired man in tight
frook coat, who suggested al opera i'm
presario. He seemed amused when told
that the prisoner rejected his services,
and established himself comfortably in
a orner of the room as an interested
spectator.
hen the magistrate resumed sternly:

in the company of a woman. Do YOU

Il do. She is a lady of my acqain-

"A lady whom you met at Madam
,Cecile's?'
"Why not?"

"Ye-es.''
The judge snorted incredulously.

why should 1 tell you? Is she
charged with murder?' was the sheer
ing answer.
"Groener,' said Hauteville sternly.

touched the bell, and as the door
opened, Madam Cecile,' he said.
A moment later, with a breath OF
perfume, there swept in a large, over-
dressed woman of forty-five with bold.

be real. She bowed to the judge with
excessive affability and sat down.

The Discreet Woman Heeds Public
Opinion and Learns to Be Silent

When once she mas felt the kick" of
reckless conversational shooting, she
learns to keep her tongue imprinted.
What we do not say nor write never
gets us into jail. Nor will discretion
permit knowing giances and shrugs that
talk Passivity when doubtful things
are under discussion will save many a
squirm of explanation.
The discreet woman knows that a
witticism is better lost than a friend.
She never shows off at, the expense of
another's feelings; nor does she venture
to scintillate banking 'on known good
nature. ~ =.
Discretion teaches that mediocrity
rarely gets into hot water. Better stoke
cleverness than use it TO feed a social
ccnfiagration.
The discreet woman knows that an
inward sense of lhumor is a life easier;
humor unleashed a burden breeder like
unto a panic in Wall Street.
