Thief when the author made the wife
even steal In order to appear as smart
and attractive to her husband as other
women did.
OF course, men proclaim that they like
simplicity in women's attire, and that
beauty unadOrned is adorned the most
and so on, but women know this to be
fudge. They observe that the prettiest
dressed women get the most attention,
and that men like to be seen out with
living fashion plates, and in their efforts
to please in one direction they fall into
the pit in the other. To be well dressed
requires good clothes, and good clothes
cost good money, and to spend the money
brings on the charge of extravaganza.
What is a poor woman to do?
Goodness knows, but it would be in

VARIOUS TYPES OF
FASCINATING WOMEN

| There can be no doubt that nowadays
we seldom refer TO the women we ad-
! mire most as beautiful" but as "fasci-
mating" This fascination includes the
various intellectual gifts and powers.
qualities OF the heart. elegance, and. Of
course, physical loveliness.
| This notion OF the fascinating woman,
which has of late become universal, does
not, however, mean the same thing to
every person, and II is interesting when
travelling TO note the various ideas which
the men Of various countries have about
\ the intellectual, spiritual and physical
which they think make the fascinating
| woman.
Hates Extremes.
Ask a typical Partisan OF the upper
classes for his definition Of the fascinat-
ing woman and he will probably reply:
She is neither tall nor small, neither too
daring nor too modest, neither too
clever nor a fool We hate extremes and
we are lovers OF harmony and proper
ton"
The ideal OF the average German is
simpler. The fascinating one to him is.
to use the words of a German novelist,
"a mildly sentimental and passive per-
son who can cook"
To an educated Russian of the upper
classes a fascinating woman means a
Sphinx.
The fascinating woman Of Spain is
less mysterious person. She is strong
passionate, graceful, and somewhat
aloof. Her fascination Is chiefly in her
eyes; they are dark. lustrous, velvety
and expressive to a degree. The Span
iards-like the Moors-are ever speaking
OF the eyes of their ideal ones The
fascinating Spanish senorita has ex-
Quisite manners, is an ideal hostess, pos
sesses an inexhaustible store of smiling
good humor, and never seems to worry. /
Denmark Woman.
In happy, merry Denmark the woman |
who fascinates Is beautiful, and fur |
ther, she is bright a good musician, a |
sportswoman, an enthusiastic dancer |
an intelligent talker, and a thorough |
''manageress." II We turn to the Nor
