Girls, Be Natural; It's Your Best Asset Men Prefer the Genuine to the Spurious, Yet Girls Today Pre tend to Be Anything But What They Arc What One Man Eeally Thinks : : ; By DOROTHY DIX. ' I wonder.' said a mon the other day, I "if there nrc any itioro simple, natural, SlrJy-slrlR, who are the kind of Girls tho I-oril made 'cm. and don't pretend to be anything else, left tit the world? "If thero arc. I never meet tlicm.

Vlt's a pity that somebody doesn't rlsn up and tell girls Hint the two qualities thatN men admire moRt In woman are naturalness and 'sincerity. That's where the milk maid and the country lassto have always won out. "It's artlessnese, not artfulness, that catches a man's fancy, and honestly I could weep for sympathy over the mis takes I see dear ltttto girls trnklng, who would be charming If thoy would only be themselves, and who are so. silly and tire some when they are. affecting to be something that they are not, but which they falsely suppose that men admire. "'Take, for Instance, vivacity. When vivacity Is an attribute that a girl Is born with, when she has quicksilver In her veins and a devil In her eyes and a bright outlook on llfo and a laugh that Is IHce peal of silver bells, she makes a gay and delightful companion, nut It's because her merriment Is spontaneous and unforced, "Hero comes along a girl of an en tirely different type, a girl who Is sober as a Judge, and who coutdtrt see a Joke oven after It was diagrammed for her, but she's heard vivacity praised In an other girl, and so she giggles and smirks and smiles until It makes your face ache to look at her perpetual grin, and .she's so noisy and tiresome that she makes a man want to run off and hide where he can get out of earshot of her voice and her cackle. "Then there's tho girl who pretends to bo fL sport and who smokes cigarettes, although she loathes the taste of them, and they make her sick, and who tallts about how many cocktails she can drink, and who boasts of her losses at cards, and who listens to off-color stories', whoso nastlMM she doesn't half understand, Can anybody explain why a. really re epectable young girl should wish to be thought to have the tastes and habits of the kind of women we' do not even men tion In her presence T "Vet they do, I know, doyi of per fectly Innocent young women who pre tend to be tough, and who speak casually of having had too much chamnaimii. when the only thing they ever had too much of was an extra cup of tea. They :itgut tho Very men that they could at tract if they would only be their natural, sweet, simple selves. "And theres the girl who poses as bo Ing literary or artistic or musical, and feels called upon to wear allnksoy clothes ahd never comb 1er hear and to go about with a rapt look tnher eyes, "Jn reality her tastes are for Mario Correlll and chromo and ragtime, but she tsiks In a soulful way about Ibsen and Sudcrmann and technique and colora tura until she gives you the fantods, and n roan would go seven miles to avoid meeting her.

At last, exhausted, she sinks on a doorstop, and in a- tew seconds is fast asleep Though unsoon dangers menace, guardian spirits hover near. In tho morning a guardian angel of moro substantial form discovers the Gold Witch sleeping- on her steps. It is good Mrs. MacCarty, whoso heart is as big as her body. She brings t,he' friendless girl into her house and tells her she must stay. havo plenty of beaux, but the average rrnn doesn't care a hang What Brown ing thought he thought, or hlghbrowcd conversation, nnd he's going to let tho girl severely alone who hands out that line of talk to him, "I've known more than one girl miss a good husband by always lugging around a copy of Maeterlinck with her. "Then there's the girl who pretends to be a great belle, and who nlways tellb every man she meats what a heart smasher sho Is, and how this man keeps her In flowers, and that man In candy, nand another worries tho llfo out of her dragging her around to theaters, una how she told another man that she Just wouldn't go out In his car more than seven times a- week, nnd hqw many mil lionaires .are on their knees entreating her to marry them and threatening su clde It she won't.

The special car in whloh tho live fish ride Is furnirhed with a dosen largo tanks containing pure water and rimmed In such a manner that the Jarring caused by the motion of the train does not produce any overflow. A wire grat ing above prevents the more active fish from leaping out of the tank. At tho end of the car Is a cabin con taining an explosion motor of four-horso power, which drives a centrifugal pump that keeps the water circulating in the tanks. The water la drawn from the bottomN of the tanks, forced upward through tubes, and finally discharged from suspended taps back Into the top of the tanks. In Its passage through the air It Is resupplled with oxygen and thus kept suitable for the, use. of the f!sh, who apparently like It as well as if it wero bubbling at the foot of a waterfall.
