Th beauty will take Infinite pair in picking out Just the shade and of clothes thai emphamrr her eery good poin Th homely woman will buy garments no unsuitable, and that turn -ueh a searchlight on h;r defects, that they look a If her wor enemy had pieked them out. Good looks are mostly good clothes NVhn we speak of a pretty momn ire have not so much reference to her classical features, or pink and whl-complexion whl-complexion as to the generally plea inc effert to the eye that she presen. ed, and so I would urge any girl who realize thru nature did not enter her Into the livinc picture class to make a profound study of the art of dress. Also I would call the attention of ? ouns clrl to the fart that she can practically make her figir what shr-wants shr-wants It b takmc the proper exe Ctpett, and eating Hie right food, and that no Kirl who Is healthy and strong, and vital is eer really unattract i o ipparanre.

And' i' hould be cenerous with her a: complishmenls, not one of tb k I n 1 who have to be begged and persuaded, and coaxed, and bribed before she will touch the piano. Let her then qualify in outdoor sports, and learn to play good cani' of bridge The irl who ran nil in and tako a hand at anything that: COQiaf along, and who are good sport5 are always In demand. If a girl haan't beauty she needs brains. The homely jrirl should r number that she must make henolf attractive by ome other means than her looks, so she should read an J study, and improve her mind, but by the -xnit- tokfn. she should avoid '.: coming; a pedant and tryinc to sho.- off how much she knows. The clever-1 est ihinR a clever woman ever doeB a i to conceal from men just how clever I she is. I In this connection, the ugly girl who 'is briRht and humorous should especially espe-cially guard herself against exercising her wits at the expense of others, and ' saining a re-p-;tation of being sharp land sarcastic. Nothing Is more fatal 'than that People may forgive cutting 'speeches from Cupid Bow Lips but they never do when they issue from a 'mouth that looks like a sill in a letter 'box.

Finally.
