THAT BEAU VI hoOkSs
Taxi, cit came to pass at midnight that
the man was afraid and turned himself.

Ruth III. g. Il
The girl In the text was the seeker.
Every woman is. That saying about
man being "the conQuering male Is
true enough. but a woman makes her
choice. man may not make sec
ond advance without her consent A
millionth part Of a glance permits him
come or bids him depart She's train
ed to II from childhood. She has
queer, subtle, psychic something that
will make tho laborer take of his hat
or the king renounce his crown. The
| fash of her eye, the dawn or her
smile, the flutter Of her skirt, may
sway a man or nation more than the
thunders Of Sinai That's the magnet
the Almighty hath given her. Woe
unto her when she drops her weapons!
She's helpless as q wounded bird. The
lines
''what is your fortune. my pretty maidT'
my face IL my fortune sir" she said.
are true. It's much Of her capital sure
ly, but her purity, womanly reserve,
her very physical self, Is much
larger part. When they're gone the
beauty soon goes, and she's misera-
bic pauper. When she has given
kiss or permitted liberty she has
dulled her blade. Still, she's born to
marry. and choose she must A mis-
take is fatal. If man blunders he
goes to the lodge or club; with glass
and pipe he forgets his woes. If
woman blunders chances are nothing
but a funeral will help her out.
Tho siIken Cords Of Love.
Say, grille, If you knew your power
over that young man you'd be as
founded. II he truly loves you he will
go through fire, snow and water for
YOU. In the full flush of courtship he
will do your will though the sky fall.
But it's his nature to be both Dr.
Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde. He will hatter
you, he will give you handsome gifts,
he will sacrifice his all for. and the
next moment he will tempt you. Be
ing q man, he Graves ownership, but
you're not his property, even though
diamond glistens on your finger.
Stand by your colors. Prove to him
that you're sweet and modest and
clean. Draw your line. He will not
he dare not-cross II. It's your peril
He will respect you for It Down
deep underneath you're the type OF
woman he wants. Whatever or how
ever a man may feel after marriage,
secretly before marriage he Is delight
ed to feel that that little girl" can
make him do anything. There's your
time, young woman. Consecrate the
rose on your cheek, the sparkle Of your
eye, all the charms Of womanhood
which he is so eager to possess. Make
him pay n price for them. Let that
price be none other than the upholding
Of his nobler self.
Fish to Leave Alone.
Marriage at best is uncertain, but
there's no use insisting on having
rotten apple When you hear girls
say Of young fellow, ooh, my, amt
he lust irresistible" "He don't care
how he spends money on girl so
longs he shows her n good time
that's a good type to leave alone. A
weak man needs as much watching as
a bad one and does as much damage.
If you must marry him do 1t quick
before he goes to jail or skips the
town. You don't want to be disgraced
before you are married. Don't marry
rake to reform him. 1t can't be done
except on the stage or in fiction. If

and his mothers he won't be for yours.
There's no magic in q marriage cere-
mony. You want to start home, not
a Kelley cure. Don't marry n scoffer
Of religion. You don't want fanatic
who is so pious no one can live with
him, nor do you want sneering skep-
, tic. He's q shallow man who doesn't
! respect the sacred things Of another.
