Girls, Be
Natural;
It's Your
Best Asset
Men Prefer the Genuine to the
Spurious, Yet Girls Today Pre

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?

we mon are slmpla
creatures with Sim

tastes, and an un
fortunate pattlallty
for genuine, instead of spurious, articles.
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

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

of having had too much chamnaimii.

much of was an extra cup of tea. They

sweet, simple selves.
"And theres the girl who poses as bo

feels called upon to wear allnksoy clothes

that they shall arrive in that desirable
humor their last ride, as already said,
Is taken In on automobile, as luxu'louoly
furnished from the fishes' point of v.ew,
as was their special car on the railway
leaving these sentimental considera
tions for thoee Who appreciate them, the
mechanical perfections of this new sys
tem of fish transportation aro worthy of
attention. 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. In
summer time Ice Is supplied to the taps i
to keep the water at an agreeable tem
perature,
