Impressed by Handsome Strangers
"And she will never know, at their
next meeting,
How hard he fought, an outward !
calm to gain,
Now will he see beyond the friendly
greeting,
How her true heart still yearns to
him through pain"
Why is it that usually the girls Of
good dispositions, kindness of heart,
and who have had little, if any expert
ence in love, are very easily impressed
by handsome strangers, whom they
meet? Life to them seemed dull and
commonplace among the visitors they
had seen in short year or so of city
companionship. Listlessly and plan
ming for a change, girls wend their
way back to the old farmhouse for a
short stay, many of them complaining
to their country cousins that they have
mixed and mingled with quite num-
Der of young men and girls while none
of the former appealed to their liking.
Why it is no one could tell just
at the time But when a handsome
stranger CHANGED to cross the thres-
hold where fair young girl was stop
ping, 10! the dull scene changed like
magic into rosy glowing. Her eyes
rest upon a handsome stranger in
fascination. She can scarcely define
why he seems different from any one
else she has ever met, although, if he
could, he did not seem to return the
deep interest which, manlike, he found
she held for him.
Handsome strangers are used to
having a certain homage paid them.
owing to the fact that they are in
clined to put their best foot forward
are merry agreeable, given to COM
plimenting and showing attention in
a clever way, which is not understood
by all girls to be fiattery, the same
for one and all. Handsome strangers
who arrive at places for pastime can
often charm those whom they come
in contact with by telling good, anus
ing stories.
They have one advantage - they
have made study of just the type
of girls who usually take to them.
Generally, the unassuming, healthy
girls who are the opposite in looks and
attractions to their own, waste their
time and hopes on the handsome
stranger. If these men are conceited
persons, it is easy for them to start
new flame in the breast of another
sprightlv girlish adorer, for they do
not last long as wooers for any one
girl.
Quite a few handsome strangers
are not apt to take well among plain
thriving young men who have lived
in the same town since they were
knee high. With the latter brains and
steady business application count
more than masculine, vain good looks
1t is an eyeopener to these plain men
to realize that some very intelligent
| young women are not suited enough
to marry man who has not what
they call a "genteel business" So
far as the successful older ones tell
US, a genteel business is something of
show place to which man goes at
10 o'clock in the morning and from
which he rides home at 2 or 8 in the
afternoon, getting an amount of
money for doing little"
My dear girls, when you think of
getting married, my advice is to
choose one whose habits and plain
likings will give you happy home.
where jealousy is not, but love is to
preside in it. With such husband no
shadow will cross your hearthstone.
Know that handsome men live in a
world of their own.

1t Is Right for Her To Know.
| Dear Miss Libbey: Kindly advise
the following: 1. Is it polite for a
young man at door to take a girls
arm in the evening? q Is a girl to
take a young mans arm unless en-
gagged? 8. Do young men think more
of girl if she refuses to kiss them ?
4. How can you entertain friends if
you do not play the piano? 5. Should
parents remain on porch If company
calls, or excuse themselves and go
somewhere? 6. Do you take company
in house or remain on porch in sum-
