LED BY FLATTERY.

II a man commences 10 flattcr q
young woman quite as soon as they
are introduced, she should not take il
for granted that all lie says is Cos
pei truth. Il seems strange To SCnSi-
bic IGuu what success these tlattererS
have in ingratiatinS themselves into
The good Will and afterwards the
hearts of women.
There are men who make a study Of
making soft speeches to innocent, I'M
Su>pcctinG women. They take good
care To Halter only the woman who
they think will stand for it. If she
takes kindly To what she deems com
pliment, they grow holder. 1t does
not take long for the adrOit flatterer
to make Roadway. He is seldom or
never man whose heart is touched
by women. He has an eye usually TO
wealth. His creed is that man can
win with a flattering tongue, within q
few months time, Il fortune by we'd
Il fortune by hard, noble industry, he
would live his life out in poverty.
Poor girls, he finds, are on the alert
against flattererS. Young women of
wealth are not SO wary. He gives
such girl the impression that it was
case of intense interest with him the
first instant he saw her. After the
first glance, lie could not forget the
blue Of her eyes and the first words
she uttered. He finds nine women
out of ten are pleased to hear that.
And he is amused secretly ut their
f0OiiShnesS in believing it. 1t is his
belief that women dote on fattery.
1t never occurs to them that he is
using the same speeches over and over
again to every woman he meets. What
wOman suspects him Of telling a fiji
when he whispers ardently to her that
she has the most charming personality
of anyone he ever met? That it is
heaven on earth to be by her side?
She may be as hOmely as hedge
fence, and know it; but he can actu-
ally make her believe that he thinks
her quite n beauty, clever and charm
ing. She may look n fright in this
hat or that one, but fiatterer never
makes the mistake of telling her the
plain truth.
WOmenkind, as rule, do not take
kindly to unvarniShed truths. WOm-
en- who take to flattery as a duck 10
water never choose plain, blunt, out
spoken man for lover. 1t is Il we'll
known fact that after q flatterer weds
n girl of wealth. and he has weedled
her into giving him the reins of her
fortune in part, or generally in its en-
tirety, his tlattery stops short. At
that stage of the game she is pretty
apt to hear his actual opinion of her.
He wastes no time in idle sOphiStrieS.
1t is needless TO say the woman who
lends willing ear TO the tlatterer gen.
orally rueS it. His pretended inter-
est in her is shortlived. Even the most
ObtuSe observers of men and their
manners cannot help but discover this,
soon or late. She finds she has trust
ed a man who is not worth woman's
love and devotion.
This type of men will flourish as
long as women will pay heed to them.
When a stranger begins to flatter, it is
seldom best to allow his acquaintance
to ripen into friendship.

Artificial Flowers,

Hortense is very fond of the present
artificial flower bud, which she says is
80 Frenchy." Possibly never before
have artificial flowers had such a
vogue as they have just now, and n
means to giving color to dark street
frOck or suit.
There are punches of tiny flowers in
brilliant red that are very good. There
are bouquets consisting of a rosebud
a few fOrget-me-nOts and q sprig or
two of green that are good. Then there
are nasturtiums, pOppies and many
other flowers in their own natural, rich
cOloring.-Paris Correspondence.

hree Pretty Vanity Cases.

81 Vanity bags bob up or dangle in
the most unexpected places. They
swing from umbrella handles and
from fans-they are concealed in shop
ping and party bags, and are even sus-
pended from pretty carriers. But vanity
cases are frankly carried in the hand
and hold. in the most compact arrange
ment, all the aids needed in emer-
gency cases of beauty in distress They
also accommodate small coins-ln
case they are wanted.
In the illustration three cases made
of German silver are selected from an
array of many different patterns.
There are perfectly plain cases with
polished surface and others with satin
finish, but, In the long run. the fancier
cases look better than the plain ones.

Whatever You viii in CoiffureS.

Just at present, cOiffureS are almost
as diversified as heads. In the matter
of hair dressing there are no styles
that govern and about everything is
left to individual taste. The hair
dresser asks you what you will have,
and is prepared to execute any sort
of order, even to bObbing Off half your
locks and curling what is left of them.
He Is not arbitrary about a single
thing, but is insistent that waved hair
Is better than straight hair, no matter
what style you may elect to make
your own.

the hair is combtd back off the fore
head so well that they are reluctant
to part with ii. 1t Is still favorite
But it is much less becoming than
waves or curls about the face, and
newer coiffures insist upon covering
at least portion of the forehead. All
of them present waved hair as an es-
sential feature and all of them are
eXquiSltely neat.
A couture for evening dress is shown
in the picture, with the hair parted q
little to one side and waved. Only
half of the forehead is uncovered and
the waved hair almost covers the ears.

Box PIaits Even on Sleeves

The tendency toward box or other
plaits is very well expressed on the
sleeves. A customary form is a box
plat reaching from the shoulder to
the cuff. Or again the fullness of the
sleeve may be gathered or plated at
the upper part Of the armhole and the
sleeves cut in such manner that these
plaits or gathers are smoothed out at
the wrist. Plaits, sometimes, begin
from the elbow down.

brOidcries that are evolved in Chinese

Whoever speaks of FOrmoSa with
authority tells the same tale. When
Japan took over the island 20 years
ago TaihOku was nothing but a dirty
Chinese town. And the visitor who
would see something of genuine Chi.
nese old style town and realize the
contrast, should visit ROkkO.
City of Darkness.
ROkkO seems chiefly to be one long,
almost unfortunately long, street. The
houses that face each other are shaded
from the suns rays by heavy bamboo
roofing that stretches from side to side
of the roadway. Even in that brilliant
tropical sun that seems to burn through
paraSOl and hat, scarcely a ray Of d.
rect sunshine pierccS the dimneSs OF
ROkkO. The result is, of course, cool
ness. but it is also bad smell and air
leSsnesS that suggest the atmosphere
of medieval prison instead of vii
lage in one of the sunnicst and richest
islands of the Pacific. How strange
that in land where sun and green
ness and blue water might have 1t all
their own way human beings should
choose to create such an environment.
These Chinese houses that face each
other are all alike in one thing. The
whole front is open so that the interior
is public, and the back wall of every
living room has Il sacred picture with
one or two vases or ornaments, with
tapers and lanterns that are lit In the
