A MARKET SCENE IN PONCE, PUERTO RiCO.
AFTER A DRAWING BY F. LUIS MonA.
s
The Attractive ‘Voman. /
A clever woman, provided she be not
sarcastic and too fully alive to a sense
of her own importance, is generally an.
attractive one. Men. may be charmed
for a time by a. pretty face, but they
soon tire of mere prettiness. Nor does
it follow that all women of good sense
and ' sharp intellect are necessarily
plain. "Bright thoughts enliven the
most ordinary face, untilthe reflection
of the mind shining out in all its radi-
anceimakes one forget that the features
are not pure Grecian, and leads us to
believe that such a woman is in reality
a great beauty. The vivacious creature'-
of varying moods and quaint fancies is
the one charm. A man forgets the type
of beauty she may or may not possess,
so interested does he become in the
pleasing study of a mind that renders
her face ever winning, irresistible, and
pleasing, because, like the surface of a.
lake, there comes a change with every
varying emotion. The attractive wom-
an should cultivate the mind, for grace
of soul and education of spirit count for
more than limpid eyes, a rosebud
mouth, and a dimpled chin. She should
be ever teachable, for there is not one
iota of lovableness in the man or wom-
an who thinks he or she knows it all.
.1 Corner mum
A pretty sofa corner may easily be
made with a little expense for a sitting
or drawing room. The platform,
one foot in height, may be made by
any amateur carpenter. Upon this
is fitted a mattress or cushion, which
may then be covered as elaborately
or as simply as desired, the same
scheme being carried out in the cur-
tain at the back, which should be lined
with a plain cover.

A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Phila. Pa., was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
“I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow,eyes sunken,

ing weaker day by day. Three physi-
cians had given me up. Fortunately,
