HERR be few men who are not susceptible to the attrace i tlons of a pretty face, and when a really beautiful one appears the amount of admiration which it excites ts sometimes such as to be uncomfortable at times for Its pos+ sessor. Sterling worth of character often weighs but ligatly @ ]In the balance against pink-and-white prettiness.

Yet he who marries a beauty takes o good looks, unless he is satisfied to make a pet and plaything o It is by no means true, oz is often said, that “homely girls 2 | which a pretty one seldom is, says Helen Oldfield in the fled with one's self goes far toward making one at peace with heavy chances and fs rarely as hupiily mated as he who Is $ of his wife and to go on spoiling her to the end of his mar- Q | always make good wives.” On the contrary, a plain woman Chicago Tribune.

Therefore the pretty girl is rarely otherwise than s' tempered, so long as she has her own way, but she ‘s usually more or less spoiled, in exact ratio to the degree of beauty which she possesses, Accustomed to regard herself as a person of importance, to be preferred ¢o others upon all occasions, and always to he made much of, it is small wonder if she {s selfish and in- considerate of other people; it is but the natural result of her training, a case of “as the twig is bent." From the time when mesersby stop the nurse with her perambulator on the sidewalk to exclaim over and admire the pretty baby she Je used ¢o admiration and has found that her face is a fortune waich pays her way with all men and some women. At home she is put forward to the neglect of her plainer ers, and, unless her mother is more than usually sensible, much more pains are taken with her dress and adornment, At school she is given @ prominent position in every exhl- vition, and not infrequently girls with twice her dralas but ‘acking a tithe of her good looks are subordinated to her. At dancing schoo] she has her choice of partners, and at children's parties the boys flock rqund her as the men ila tater in life, to the neglect of the girts who cannot lay clatua to beauty. Girls who have only a modicum of good looks are taught chat they must do their best to be clever nnd small excuse 1s made for their shortcomings at home or at school. No man with a spark of jealousy in his composition, nor yet he who is ultra domestic, should venture to marry beayty. It Is alcogether against the nature of things that woman who has ail her life been accustomed to consider the admiration of all men as her just due shall be content to re- \inquish her dominion and forego the pleasant incense; nevor to ‘make eyes," however innocently, and to be satisfied wholly with one adorer In place of dozens. If she {s really and truly in love, and the adoration ts of the sort which endures, all may be well, otherwise the first pull on the rein Is apt to find her restive, while !f the spur is applied the steed, badly broken in harness, kicks over the traces and the team comes to grief. Also, however devoted she may be to her husband, the woman who fs ft conscious of her beauty and values it accordingly, is net often happy unless that beauty ts fitly set. She attaches the utmost Importance to dress, for exampl she has extravagant tastes, and she !s golng to indulge chem {f possible, at whatever cost. Nor, as a rule, are beauties often useful, and for this also they are scurcely to blame, since from the beginning they are taught that all which ts expected of them fs to be orna- mental. No one with any sense of congruity papers the kitchen walls with rare etchings or asks of a hothouse plant shat {t shall produce potatoes or cabbages. Often, it ws true, a beautiful woman accomplishes much good in the world, but this, almost without exception, is when by reason of wealth and position, combined with talent, ahe 1a lifted aobve tho sordid cares of Nfe and has but to hold out soft, white hands for the blessings which she bestows upon others. ‘The canary bird's song 1s good to hear; a beautiful woman fs a cheering sight to see, but neither of them ts horn for ad- versity. A GOOD WORD. A Weird Art Find. A strange story of the discovery of an unsuspected art treasure comes from Canada. A Montreal art dealer wan playing golf und drove a ball through a window of a cot- tage.

It turned out, after cleaning and examdnation, to be a Dutch tnterlor by Tenlers, of the value of $2,600.
