Refinement and Dignity AltUdys Win
out in the Long Run OUer Vulgdrity.
BY Beatrice Fairfax

Dy bS0iiSC
AS beauty is in the eye of the be-
holder" so also is charm. No human
being can write down set of rules and
regulations whereby Mary shall ap-
pear lovely and gracious and desirable
to all the world, nor yet is 1t possible
TO conceive of Jane who has moth
ing of charm or lovableness or sweet
ness for any in the world.
Human chemistry makes it absolu-
tely imperative that some of the quail
ties which appeal to me in Mary shall
repel you. Since we are all used to
the knowledge that oil and water won't
mix, it is simple enough to accept the
fact that the oily suavity of one nature
and the steaming force of another will
not combine.
And so 1t goes through a long list
of humanity's chemical combinations.
So of course there can hardly be such
a thing as an irresistibly charming
woman who shall be equally charming
in the eyes of all men.
That fact itself ought to cheer many
of my doubtful correspondents who
write me such little pleas as the fol
lowing: "My chum and I are fairly
nice-looking girls, who dress we'll and
try hard to be pleasant and amiable,
and yet we are passed by for loud, or
binary girls, who are flashy in dress
and who aren't dignifled or in any way
worth the while of the men who pre-.
fer them to us. Doesn't the man of to.
day care anything for refinement
OF Course He Does
OF course. the man of to-day cares
for refinement and dignity. But he
cares also for spontaneous friendliness
for good comradeship, for unselfish in
terest in what appeals to him, for sym
pathy and understanding of his nature
And a loud and boisterous young wo
man who gives him these things totals
up to combination that appeals to the
chemistry of his nature and combines
with it when the sweet dignified but
self-centered girl may fail entirely to
attract.
Externals mean nothing to one soul
and everything to another One man
passes by a beauty and becomes enam.
ored of little gray mouse of woman,
simply because something in her calls
to something in him, and combines
with or becomes the complement of his
nature.
But there is possible certain amount
of generalizing as to what makes for
charm in women. Sweetness of dispo.
sition, reliability, we'll poised common
sense, capability for sane, loyal affec.
ton, quiet tact, unselfshness and a
sturdy willingness to play fair added
to feminine sweetness have a charm
for most all men. If to them are
added cleverness, vivacity and beauty
one has, of course, visioned an almost
irresistible creature!

What Makes a Girl Attractive

But the point to remember is that
while all women are potential mothers.
men remain always in some essentials
boys. Men need to be understood
but never driven with unwelcome ad-
vice; they want to be sympathized
with but not interfered with; they
crave woman's friendly interest but
they don't want her ever to suppose
that she is controlling or regulating or
making over their lives.
There perhaps lies mans greatest
boyishness-he loves to think he is do
ing 1t all himself, but he wants you at
his side to admire him and encourage
him while he is doing it.
Men want affection but they don't
want to be surfeited with it. They
/ hate to be taken for granted or nagged
at because they fail to come up to eX-
pectations.
The Guessing Theory
Some girls have cynical little
theory that the way to keep a mans
affection is to keep him guessing
about their own. Any man worth hav-
ing desires some response in friend or
sweetheart or wife-not a mere artifi-
cial response stimulated by himself but
the natural chemical answer of nature
to nature, the unselflsh affection that
dares to give Loyalty without fear that
it belittles itself In giving.
Charm in woman is not an entirely
elusive thing, nor yet is it quite so
| tangible that it may be bought over
the counter Of life. But it springs pri-
marily from a richness of nature that
makes woman give out to life instead
of merely drawing in from it.
Charm is a sort of a perfume that
a sweet, fine, loving and lovable woman
exhales. To some it is the free gift
of the gods. BY others it may be cul-
tivated and cultivated most largely in
the very way in which most women
fail to strive for it.
Here is it's little open secret: not
by wondering How may be lovable?"
shall you become Iovable, not by think
ing in terms of yourself shall you be-
come desirable. But by looking on
some one for whom you care and think
ing, what does he want of life?
What does his nature need of friend
ship and understandings" and then
/ trying to fulfill the understood wants
of another nature, shall you most cas-
| lily cultivate charm.
The girl who conquers her selfish,
ness and hysterical desire to become
morbid and unhappy over trifles, who
teaches herself not to demand as
right the gifts of admiration and love
which have to be won and deserved, is
in fair way to be attractive. And to
her attractiveness she may add actual
charm if she is sweet, amiable, equ-
able, loyal, merrily willing to play the
game of life, to take what comes to
her and to offer to men understanding
and sympathy instead of demanding it
from them.

BUFF COCHIN BANTAMS
COPYRIG HIT, 1916

When the Anglo-French expedition
sacked the Summer Palace in Pekin,
bantams that had previously been
bred and owned exclusively by the
Chinese Emperor. They were very
small and red in color, had feathered
blue legs and five toes oA-each foot.
Because of their origin they became
known as Pekin Bantams and were so
bred for years. Their similarity to
the large Cochins in so many respects
eventually led fanciers to attempt to
breed them in exact duplicate of the
larger fowl, but in Bantam size. The
color was changed from red to a
golden buff, the legs from blue to yell
low and but four toes allowed on each
foot. This took considerable time and
hard work, but was eventually accom-

plished, so that to-day the Buff Cochin
Bantam is an exact reproduction of
the Buff Cochin in everything but size.
They are very small, the males weigh
ing only 26 to 80 ounces and females

pets and are very heavy layers. lay
ing an egg that is extremely large con-
sidering the diminutiveness of the hen
that laid it.
The hens get broody, sit and rear
their chicks and are such careful and
successful mothers that there is a
steady demand for Cochin Bantam
hens in large numbers to be used by
breeders of large fowls expressly for
use in rearing chicks.
These bantams do well in very small
quarters and are inexpensive to keep
They can be fed with table scraps and
will require but little grain

road that led by the Whitehalls'
house. CHEEKY lights shone from
outside the gray frame house the
door was flung open and the White
halls ran down the path. Mrs.
Whitehall in a dainty little house
apron and a kitten in her arms.
Helen was cheered instantly and
answered the CHEEKY greetings
warmly.
Helen took off her things and
then found her way down to the
CHEEKY livingroom. There were
pictures on the brown papered walls
and a piano stood in one corner.
Books and magazines were scat
tered over the center table. where
a lamp burned brightly, and the
white breasted kitten was curled up
in huge chair. Helen could see a
table spread for a meal and could
hear the sounds of preparation for
dinner from the kitchen beyond. A
tall young man rose from a chair
and held out his hand cordially.
II am Mrs. Whitehall's brother"
he volunteered, laughing at Helen's
surprise. IT don't suppose you have
ever heard her speak of Dick from
Arizona; well, If you have, I'm
your man."
"Oh, that's right, you two haven't
met" said Mrs. Whitehall, coming
in and explaining apologetically.
I'VE have now" returned Dick,
"and suppose we get better acquaint-
ed, Mrs. Curtis? If you will come out
in the kitchen and get up on chair
I'll volunteer to clean your shoes
and make them as good as new. VIII
you give me some milk, Gert?"
Warren and Mr.. Whitehall came
back as Helen was having the final
polish, and Warren related with
much gusto the fact that they had
been to the butchers and that he
had gone home for supper when they
reached there.
1--WE had to rap on his window to
have him come out and give us some
steak. Gee this certainly is a small
town. Bill Perkins is a fine chap,
though. We had quite talk"
"I'll have supper ready in a few
minutes now" volunteered Mrs.
Whitehall that is, If you will all
go into the livingroom and leave me
in peace
NO, dear, go in with the others.
Dick is dying to entertain you. I'll
call you if l need YOU" And Helen,
with a conviction that she was go
ing to like the Whitehalls, followed
the others into the next room.

esting series will appear here soon.

Rearing the Poults Is Not
Difficult if Commonsense
Methods Are Employed
Suggestions For Selecting the
Bree ers-Hntching,
Feeding and Brooding
BY Archie Z. Vandervort
Breeder, Fancier and Judge
COPYRIGHT 1870

The successful rearing of young tur-
keys is not by any means so difficult
as many people seem to suppose. The
impression that same amateurs have
that turkeys are next to an impossi-
bility to raise should be quickly dis
missed from their minds, as it only
requires a personal knowledge of the
turkeys peculiarities to be successful
in raising at least 80 per cent. of all
the poults hatchcd. There are two
critical periods in the life of the young
turkey when special attention must be
paid to the birds to carry them
through in goodI condition. When
newly Matched, turkey poults are very
hardy, but when about two weeks old
they often lose strength, and from this
time until they are over three weeks
old they are passing through n sort OF
crisis. Once this danger line Is passed
there is little further trouble until the
time when the red eXCrescences on the
head begin to shoot, known to turkey
raisers as shooting the red" and this
stage marks the second critical period
in the poult's life.

why, the snow is all melted" said
Helen, in surprise, looking out of the
car window as they neared their
destination.
Yes, but remember the warm
weather we've been having said
Warren, who was in an excellent
humor. They were on their way TO
stay over Sunday with an old friend
of Warren's who had moved out of
the city some time ago and had
taken up poultry raising: Helen

she did not know Mrs. Whitehall
very well. But Warren had been
great friends with Joe Whitehall,
in fact they had Joined the Masonic
order at the same time, and it had
he had decided to move to the
country.
I'VE get off at the next station, -
said Warren, reaching for the bags
and pulling down Helen's long coat.
Helen was gazing out reftectively
over the Hudson River What a
beautiful country this was, with its
tiny villages perched like doll
houses along the banks of the river.
Where is the trolley for Brigg' S
Crossing?" asked Warren of man
who lolled against the station look
ing at them curiously.
Trolley not due for half an
hour" he said, moving his pipe to
the other side of his mouth and
continuing to gaze at Helen.
Where do we get it,"
Down the road a ways. Where
you people calculatin' on goin'?"
I'VE want to go to Springdale."
3 "Springdaie's three miles beyond
Briggs Crossing. You'll have to

"why don't you get a rig from
here? My son could get you over
there. It's only a matter of five
miles"
"All right, trot him out" So
Warren good naturedly. III W
much will you charge u.s."
"a dollar and a half, and it's
worth it, too; the roads are fierce"
Warren grinned and watched the
man amble off. In about five min
utes he returned and said that his
son would be along in a jiffy. BY
the time Helen and Warren were
seated comfortably in the tonneau
of a neat little machine Helen was
regretting the fact that they had
promised to come. She resolved to
make the best of it, however, and
the ride through the crisp country
air was delicious.
