DO TRIFLERs REFoRMa

q eff women could be fair and yet not
 fond,
 Of that their love were for. not hclzle would not marvel that they make
 men bond
 By service long to purchase their good
 will
 But when see how frail these crea-
 lures are, I muse that men forget themselves so
 far"
 Who does not know the type of men who eagerly sun themselves in the so- ciety of the fairest women, monopo- liking their attention but who are ready to flee if the old folks hint as to their intentions2 Brothers always ad- wise their sisters against setting their hopes on a male flirt Mothers are of the belief that the trif1ers heart will change if he meets a girl who strikes the right chord of love in his heart The father mltters something about the impossibtlity of teaching dog new tricks-that there are some men who are head over heels in love witE this girl today and quite as fond of a new flame on the morrow.
 Against the advice of father and brother the door of the home is thrown open to the young man who has suddenly fallen in love with daughter, made violent protestations of undyfng afection and asking her hand in marriage. The trffler is i'm constant by nature. Quite as soon as the neWness of the betrothal wears of, he begins to feel bored at the thought of making pretty speeches to just one girl. He Is used to the ad- miration of every woman with whom he comes in contact. His nature seems to demand it. He cannot re- Eist the opportunity of flirting with the pretty maids on street or car who do not seem averse to the bold, ad- miring gaze of the trifler, a stranger. He craves the admiration of his sweethearts bosom friends. He de- lights in letting her see that lac Is a favorfte with women and could have his pick and choice to make love to.
 He brides himself that he is hand some fellow and a fauItless dressed: up to the minute in the latest dances, and is sure to charm with his singing.
 The sweetheart of such a man has more worry than peace with his affec- lions. She is always haunted by the troublesome thought that some other girl will charm him from her sidA. Yet she b1indly believes that marriage

will reform him; that once welded. he will turn his eyes the other way if pretty girls come al9Rg; indeed, that he would not even see them were they as thick as blackberries on bush where he might be. And yet If a trif1er follows his natural bent and makes a nnfsstep after marriage to- do is made over by the family who made over. 1t by the girls family who should have known beforehand in re- gard to the. man that the old saving might be faptly applied in all truth: .tThe twig will grow as it is bent" That once in a great while such a man may turn over q new leaf must not be doubted. But such cases are so few and far between that they may be said to be almost obsolete. No woman of ordinary good sense would trust her life to a craft that was known to be unseaworthy. No Wo- men should trust the safety Of her future happiness to q man whom she knows full we'll to be a winner of hearts but to break them.
 It is bad enough for girl to be de- ceived in the nature of the man she weds. If she knows his faults and foIlfes before hand, it may be. said that she is conntving against her own heart by loving one who is not worthy of the divine and ennobling sentiment. The most exalted love rarely ever changes a mans habits for long. The love he gains too easily he does not appreciate.
 The time of wooing is the try-out. If at that time a man proves himself to be a trif1er by looking about for new conquests. the girl is bling up sorrow for herself who deliberately links her future in wedlock with him. The man who cannot be true to a girl before marriage could not be expected to be faithful to her after marriage.
 It's the girl who shuts her eyes to these truths who shouts the foudest about having made poor marriage; of having been deceived. her life wrecked. after marriage and he has followed the bent of his inclinations. The girl who weds a trifler because he happens to belong to a good family and has plenty of money, rejecting a poor, but honest man whose love was sincere, makes mistake which she is sure to regret in the after years. A trif1er is the poorest bargain on the matrimonial counter. Lucky are the girls who scramble to get him and miss him Y ct one cannot condemn all men for the faults Of one. The trif1er who does chance to reform, bidding goodbye to folly. is all that the most exacting aen could de- sire She, and she oIxg is able to hold his heart in leash.

BEAUTY CHATS
SUPERFLUOUs HAIR.
By Blanche Beacon.

This blemtsh is frequently a cause snr much discomfort to brunettes for . Is the brunette who is more often the victim of it's growth.
 There are two kinds of superhuous hafr- tf
 There is the soft fine down and then the stiff scattered hairs like those in the eyebrows
 This latter kind often appears upen the upper lip. chin and sometimes on the cheeks near the ears
 There are various methods for re- moving sueer41uos1s hair or making it lesg conspicuous. but before discus sing them want to advise letting tne hairS alone unless they are positively 1tsffgT1ring-
 tive to any appearance of this sort and fancy dfsigurement where none exists It has been said that Q slight downy line on the upper lip of a bru- nette frequently adds 8 charm by lending a piquant expression to her face
 For ages various means have been employed to remove superfuous hair. These were usually mechanical but among the Orietnal nations the secret of chemical bIeaches which will ef- fectuaIly and safely do their work has oeen known for centuries.
 ~ UnhappiIy the depflatories on the -N~--- them containing arsenic which should never be brought thus in contact with the skin
 superfluous hair can be rendered much less visfbly by using peroxide of hydrogen combined with an a1kilfne solution For toning down the color Of the hair.
 Here Is a reliable bleach.
 Equal parts of strongest solution of ammonia and absolute alcohol. This forms solution No. 1.
 No 3 ccsnsists of the strongest pos sfble solution Of peroxide of hydrogen.
 After washing the superf1us hairs thoroughly with soap and hot water. apply No. 1 persasaent1y for five min utes with a cameFs hair brush, then, without drying. apply No. with an- other brush for five minutes more.
 Now use my Orange Flower cream, and rub well into the skIn
 Of course superfzuous hairs are often removed by electrolysis, but as the current has to be applied sepa- rately to each hair the expense is very great
 And *oc. there is always the dan ger of getting into the clutches of the unscrunu1ouE beauty doctor.
 Be your own beauty doctor.
