CHARM IN WOMAN
'Something Average Person Finds
It Hard % Define.
Secret Of Attraction 10 q Riddle On-
sslved Apparently Since the
Creation Of the World.

The secret of the attraction Of some
women for men has been sought for
countless ages. The riddle Is as old N
the Sphinx and rs unsolvable.
History has been made. wars won
crimes committed all for the love OF
woman.
What is the secret of the attractiOnf
Beauty Is the first thing that springs
to mind. Yet 1t needs but little refiec-
tion to show that beauty Is often the
last asset of the fascinating woman at
whose shrine is daily offered mascu-
line worship. Brains, cleverness,
beauty, q ready wit, a musical voice
may be possessed in bulk or alone by
woman, and yet she may leave men
cold.
Natures law Of compensation is i'm
mutable, and never more clearly shows
man In feminine attraction. How rare
ly Is statuesque beauty accompanied
By the charm and fascination that At
tracts. A woman may possess the
beauty Of Venus. and cause no mascu-
line pulse to beat the faster. Yet her
almost ugly sister, irregular Of fea-
ture and without physical charm. may
be never without Q man to pay her
court
Strangely enough, Il 10 wcnaa her
self who lays most stress On beauty.
Rarely win she admit beauty In an
other woman. "She is very attractive.
she Is fascinating. she has charm. but
she is not really good looking. my
dear" they will say. not realizing that
they are according the highest need
Of praise.
Beauty ia an accident, but charm and
fascination are either beauty from
within or else they come from con-
scious creation.
For 1t Is possible for some women
to cultivate attraction. 1t Is the kind
that can be analyzed and defined In
words, and 1t sometimes accompanies
Enable fascination known, for want OF
better word, as charm.
Who has not seen the ordinary. ap-
parent!y unattractive woman change
under the stimulus Of animation? HeS
face lights up, her eyes sparkle. her
laugh becomes mischievous-she be-
comes more beautiful than perfect
