Madame Recamier, the Duchess de la Val
liere, Pompadour-Nell> Gwynne-perhaps
even Lots wife-who knows?
But all that has not answered the main
question. Charm? There are looks to be
considered as essential to charm, but what
two persons would agree amicably as to
what constitutes looks in woman? Is
blonde more charming than brunette or
redhead? Was Helen of Troy more attrac-
tive than the ladies Solomon liked?
Manners? Does eating properly consti-
tute charm? Does the lady who can back
out Of a drawing room without tripping
over her own feet possess the charm needed
to enchant world leader-an Antony-a
Nero--a Don Juan?
Is Reading Essential?
Or Even Educationo
Education? Does reading, which makes
many delightful companion dull person
does reading conduce to charm? Is
book knowledge necessary to the wiles OF
power to enthrall men?
What then constitutes charm? OF course
there is a lot of good looks. Add bit Of
fine manners, another trile Of coquetry-
a soupcon OF the "old Nick"-mix we'll and
who can tell whether charm will be the
result?
AS matter Of fact and not speculation
| doubt whether any woman, let alone
man, can describe charm as applied to the
feminine sex What will be charm in one
woman may be simpering absurdity in
another What will attract male moths in
one will create amusement in another.
Why?
! do not doubt that some day a super
man will understand women. He will out
guess their intuition he will be able to
anticipate their conclusion. Then he will
set down diagramaticaliy everything he
knows that all males may read as the-
run. And the result will be that romance
will depart from the earth. illusion will be

cinated by little brown mole on the round
cheek of nursery governess who looked
exactly like an orchard in full bloom. He
had long been engaged to be married to
cne of the prettiest girls it is possible to
conceive-a sort of Coles Phillips girl
who sits on the covers of magazines dis
playing a very charming pair of under
standings in somebody's extremely nice
silk hose.
Every one envied him his luck, espe-
cially as this dear thing sang like a lark,
laughed like the rustic of the wind and
could enter the room like the embodiment
of spring.
Such, however, is the popularity of the
eye that, when this man paid visit to his
brothers house and caught sight of the
nursery governess playing on the lawn
with the son and heir. he Immediately fell
heavily for that dear little mole-and
ruined his life.
Incidentally, he did not break the heart
OF the pretty maid. She Immediately be-
came engaged to another man, an artist,
and lived happily ever after in the true
fairy book way. The peculiar and ironical
part OF this little story is that as soon as
the nursery governess went to London as
the wife of her employers brother she
visited beauty parlor and had her mole

rubbed alons in the average way and the
man was brave enough to hide his sense

life would be almost impossible to bear,
placed back the mole upon that round
country face and all was well.

New York, n. Y. Nov. ia
combination OF a we'll developed
running game and an adequate for
ward passing attack is coming
more and more to be a necessity
for consistent scoring as the foot
ball season progresses.
That is shown strikingly in the
case OF Notre Dame. Notre Dame
has not the old power on running
attack that she had in the day of
George Gipp, or indeed that she
possessed last year. That gives
her opponents a better chance to
diagnose and defend against tricky
forward passes.
Knute Rockne has the aerial
game as well perfected at Notre
Dame as any coach in the country.
He began the scientific develop
ment of this style of play long ago,
and last year and the year before
he realized upon it's perfection. This
year he has had lot to do owing
to the depletion of his nucleus of
veterans. The result has been that
even with the Really good execu-
ton of his overhead attack he
could not again earn a victory over
the Army.
The Navy is showing astrifle more
life, but as a result of the Army
Notre Dame game, the sailors now
appear to have no better chance to
win the annual classic from. the
Army than they did before. Penn
State is improving this week under
Be1dek's arduous efforts. That
coach saw enough faults in his
