FOUND A CONGENIAL ZONE

Woman’s Explanation as to Why She Liked That Particular Neighborhood. The flats in that neighborhood were too Bmall and the prices too high, yet the man’s wife said they would take one. “The neighborhood,” she added, “is becoming to me/jj? “Absurd,” her husband, ‘1 never heard of such a thing.” “Maybe not, but yoir will hear a lot about It before very long,” said she. "Every one of us, men and women alike, shows off to better advantage in certain parts of town. People are just beginning to find that out, and as soon as they discover their congenial zone they will naturally settle down there. “The reason for their changed appearance is purely psychological. Take you, for example. Owing to your peculiar temperament you ought neyer to venture outside the financial district. You are twice as good looking south of Fourteenth street as you are north of it. Some people look their best In the shopping district, others in the hotel and theater streets, while others come out strongest in a quiet, residential neighborhood. I have found that this very block brings out my goqd points, so here we stop.” “But It is north of Fourteenth street," the man protested. "How about me?” “You?” she returned. “Oh, It doesn’t matter about you.”—New York Times.
