Shall He Marry Hcr'

Dear Miss Libbey: Two years ago I met young lady at ball. later became better acquainted with her. But there is one thing I cannot understand about her: She gets angry every time 1 talk to any, other girls and when I am little late when I have promised to meet her at any certain place. When say anything to her about her par

How Win the Love You Most Desire.

F there were institutions where lessons in
 accuracy in judging heart mates could be
 taught, it would revolutionize the world.
 But then when will love ever be swayed by reason? pair of bright, laughing eyes will fool the wisest of mon.
 woman's lovely face can impel them to throw logic to the winds they stake all their happiness upon the chance of winning her love. But girl should pin her faith to tho belief that pretty face is all she requires to bank on. Do not depend upon beauty of face to win you all the joys this life can give.
 To win love there must be something beside dimpled cheek and ripe red lips to hold the heart The mushroom species should be called infatuation instead of real affection, for it springs up and blossoms in night. Will women ever realize that there is no root to keep it in life through the first chill wind that sweeps over It. There Is scarcely a woman ever born who has not at some time in her life pondered to how to win the love of particular man.
 If there were rules laid down for winning love, half of the sorrows of women's lives would be eliminated. There are no two men alike the wide world over. The attributes which would warm one mans heart would discourage another.
 careful study must be made of each par ticular case. Despite all that the poet tells us of love at first sight-the magic influence of the first touch. of clasping hands--I hold that only admiration of the first few meetings springs into being. The branch does not blossom the first moment that the rosebush and the wooing earth meet.
 It takes time, the breeze, and the sunshine to help along the blooming of the flower, which means the outcome of the plants love. There are women who seem to be created as the very ideals of affection who with little or effort, lure the hearts of men, holding them captive long as the caprice is pleas ing to them. These women intuitively grasp the idea of love without taking the trouble to study it.

How to Make Good First Impressions.

TT, HERE never was a woman so confident
 of her own powers of pleasing that she did not experience certain feeling of
 trepidation when presented to man whose esteem she craved regarding the impress sion she had made upon him. She cons over his look, his every word, his inclination to finger by her side, that he was loath at last to tear himself away.
 She studies her face long and wistfully in the mirror It was not her beauty which at tracted him. There were many women pres ent who were fairer by far than she. As she studies it out she realizes that the charm which had drawn him irresistibly toward her lay between her smiles and her vivacious man nsr. She had taken extra pains to interest him.
 She had met other men with whom she had not cared to exchange the second word. The thought to whether she had made good impression or not had not caused her an travagant heart throb for any one before. She ruminated that to make the first impression good one rested very much with the girl. If his demeanor and speech showed deep inter est instead of ordinary courtesy, coldness and sarcastic speech would have nipped the flower of admiration in the bud
 There are some men whose hearts can be reached through the eye only. To make an impression upon them a woman must be ex- ceedingly beautiful; her intellect is of sec ondary consideration with them. Her want of conversational powers they will attribute to real shyness-to ascribe it to anything but the real cause
 Different qualities in woman attract differ ent While a score of men are only im- questionable when they meet with a girl who is veritable picture in regard to her style a hundred men are impressed only by the plain, sweet woman guiltless of furbelows. No man actually dislikes woman the first mo- ment he meets her. It rests with her to turn the tide as her appearance and winsome ways appeal to him. It must be remembered that there are
 Many men of many minds
 Many men of many kinds"
 There is no hard and fast rule for making a good impression at the first meeting If there were the dear girls would have their lessons so thoroughly learned that man would find it impossible to arrive at the years that would stamp bachelor upol him. There are men who fascinated with every woman with whom they meet Each one makes such a good impression upon him that he quite forgets the girl from whom he has just turned away. These girls should not feel piqued, but be satisfied if they simply succeed in making good impression.
 Impressions are so ethereal that even breath may blow them aside. man may take quite fancy to a young lady whom he meets at a reception, but force of circum- stances may call him away She may not hear from him again. She should not dspar- age her own powers of pleasing because of this There is only person in the world for her. and that is the right one' Fate is probably reserving her for more con genial man.
