Republfcans Not All Happy.
The Republicans. however, were not
without their troubles. They had five
candidates for the mayorality nomina-

with a strong anuLorimer feeling
among their followers. Beside Mer-
Ram, there were John r. Thompson,
Tom Murray, John Scully and John
Smulski-the last named is said to
have been favored by governor Deneen
The struggle between this quintet was
also marked with personal attacks in

That is the secret of the Sphinx that
she guards in her stony, jealous breast
Every woman spends her time, from the
cradle to the grave, trying TO solve the
mystery of what pleases man and
woman; but she never really finds out,
even when she guesses the lucky COM
bination herself
She sees some beauties chased by
hordes of men and other beauties, just
as beauteous, who are wall flowers; and
homely girls that men swarm around,
like flies about a honey pot.
She observes simpering little fools
that wise men are ready to break their
necks for and college graduates who
have never beau to bless themselves
with.
She sees rich girls of high social posi-
ton, who sit out balls by the side Of
their mammas while Cinderellas dance
out their slippers; and so many and
contradictory are the facts in the case
of The Girl VS.. The Man that she re-
serves her decision.
She doesn't know and nobody knows
what attracts a man or woman.
The "Ccme Hither" Look.
An old story is told of a certain wo-
man who had made three excellent mar
riages. I'VE don't see how she did it,
exclaimed her women friends, 'for she's
neither good looking nor clever nor
rich" "Ah," exclaimed an old Scotch
man, who was sitting by, fits the come
hither look in womans eyes"
And that is probably as good a de-
scrfption of the art of fascinating a
man as can be given, but it is dis
couraging, for the come hither look
in the eye is the gift of nature and
not the result of study and taking
pains.
However while it is true that to be
a fascinator a girl must be born that
way, 1T is equally true that any girl
can make herself popular with men
If she chooses TO take the trouble; and
so to my young friends 1 hand out
these few tips that, judiciously played,
cannot lose out:
First-Be as good looking as you
can, and dress as we'll as you can; but
be neither obviously artificial nor ex-
travagant. II you have to help nature
out in the way Of a complexion and

about looking like a hair mattress or
newly painted summer cottage.
Don't dress beyond your means. or
show that you.put overstress on clothes
1t gives man cold feet to even think
about having to stand for the bills of
a woman whose thoughts are conferred
on millinery and imported frocks.
Don't Be Cheap in His Eyes.
Second-Be pleased with the atten-
lions of a man, but not too pleased
Don't be prim, and prudish. and aus
tere, and unapproachable: neither run
after man. Make yourself as charm
ing as you can to men, when they come
to see you; but never, under any cir
cumstances, ask man why he hasn't
been to see you. Never. apparently.
notice that he has failed to call.
The girl who gurgles, and gushes.
and is grateful for masculine attention,
makes herself cheap in a mans eyes:
and the very best way to tote a man
in is to show what you can do without
him.
Third-Show a man that you appre-
ciate his attentions. When he talks to
you, sit up and look interested-even
if you have to pinch yourself to keep
awake. When he takes you out. appear
4
he takes you to the theater, don't knock
the play, no matter how bad it Is.
If he offers you beer and sandwiches
for supper. don't enliven the meal by
remarking on the lobster and cham
payne that some other man gave you.
Help the man to enjoy himself. and
the bread you cast upon the waters
viii return to you in the shape of we'd
ding cake.
Fourth-Don't make too many de-
mands on men. Don't forever be hint
ing that you would like to go to places
that cost money. Still less. hold men
up for presents. Men call this sort of
a girl "a CRATER and they flee her
as they do the tax collector
And Hearken; Don't Pose.
Fifth-Don't be affected. Don't pre-
tend. Don't pose. Don't imagine that
you make yourself fascinating to men
by screaming at the sight of a mouse
or being so fragile you can't walk a
block, or so dainty that you couldn't

And hurl them forth to battle at

Across the centuries, Ger sea and land,
Age after age, the shouts of war re-

Yet, at the end, the whole wide world

Each empty empire, once SO proudly
planned,
Melts through Times fingers like the

But once a King -despised, forsaken,

Only with thorns chose in the face Of

Earth's poor, her weak, her outcast,

claim
His empire. Lo! prides vanished
