For they alone rave need OF sorrow
And they alone are poor
For whom In life Loves holy angel
Hath opened not the door,"
No matter how charming a girl may
be, beautiful of face and attractive of
manner, it does not follow that the
one particular man she cares most for
should be interested In her. There's
a trite saying that kissing goes by
favor" This may be said to be equal
ly true Of a mans likes and dislikes.
A girl may be a blonde and be beauti-
full, yet to one man she may appear but
a lovely human picture. His ideal may
be a girl dark of eye and of hair, who
could boast of no trim waist or taper
ing fingers. And he may be calling
often upon such a one. The blonde
beauty regales him with gossip of
balls and parties; of her alteration
of the tango; OF the fashionable crowd
at this reception which she attended
or that one; may be up to the minute
in the styles now In vogue, sing like
a nightingale and play the piano d.
vinely.
All of these accomplishments may
have weighed as nothing to him conn
pared to the interest the other girl
has awakened in his breast The
plain, in~conspicuous girl cannot devote
herself to him any evening he may
happen to call. Her household duties
prevent. II he finds It agreeable to
talk with her on the evening when she
has a basket full OF stockings in her
lap to darn, she is philosophical and
makes the best of the situation.
She does moi talk to him on trivial
subjects. Above all. she is a. good
listener, and appreciates having him
do the greater part of the entertain
ing. She is deeply interested in his
daily work and In the people who sur
round him. She sympathizes with the
worries that come to him, and always
urges him to look on the bright side,
and succeeds admirably In restoring
him to the best of humor.
She is not a beautiful picture to look
at. but her heart is a jewel, which
chimes with all the virtues which
make women lovable. She is q home
girl; takes on herself the household
cares and the management Of her
younger brothers and sisters, that her
father and tired old mother may enjoy
an evening at the theater now and
then. She knows more about cook
books than fashion magazines, and
more about bread baking than poetry.
She has an unrufied temper; is whole
souled and practical. When there is
this sort Of girl in the background. the
most fashionable Of beauties may try
all their subtle arts to fascinate a man.
but fail to make an impression on his
heart
There is sufficient reason as to why
he is Indifferent to them. No man
can have his heart in two places and
love sincerely two women at one and
the same time.
It does not have to be angied for.
When 1t H. sapparent to q fair woman
that a man whom she has sincerely
admired does not reciprocate her sem
timent. she should not place her hopes
upon winning him ultimately. but
should consign him without ado 10 her
List Of friends She should under
stand that he Is not decreed to be
nearer and dearer to her than all
others.
OF course. friendship is the stepping
stone to the tenderer passion. But no
girl Of pride would think Of taking To
initiative, letting q man know that she
has more than . friendly interest in
him
II 8 man IL indifferent To . sweet
beguiling woman. trust my word for Il
that he has his good reasons. II
is best and wisest FOR her TO let Il go
At that ne girl who feels diaaps
pointed should remember that there's
q better man for her IN the background
who Il waiting patiently to come for
