flower girl who wastes her s sweetness on the Iho desert air o 0 her family the circle circle the eirl who ho la is nice a and d pretty and ell dressed well and well educated but who who has never a beau bean to bless herself ith- ith is a familiar figure in our midst lj The man ho who who-is Js good looking and wel jj educated and upright and who has a goo job but whom women pass up as a n fiSh is not so common he does a forlorn creature hovering around 4 fringe of other peoples people's good times and lis hi to the echo of other girls and boy billing and cooing The case Se of the neg neglected man manIs J Is never so pitiful as that of the I neglected girl because it Is not the of a man to be com compelled to sit on the anxious seat straining his eyes watching for the J sUitor who never comes and pray praying ing for the dance partner who never hows up The man can always always i I hustle up business so to DOROTHY DIX speak It is permitted to him to togo go out and hunt up feminine so- so so society clety and annex It by arm methods if he cannot get It any other way I In all else a man can alwa always s buy In o that he who has hasa haa I FAILING BAILING a car need Deed never ride alone nor need the man with the price of restaurants and theatre tickets eat by himself and go to th show by byI b his lonesome And willie while It Il ma may hurt his pride and be I to that he be is not loved for tor himself still ho he does not have to wear the willow ot forsaken as does many a neb girl For or strangely enough the one thing that money cannot bay a girl Is and man a little shop girl without two frocks to her back has more atten atten- attention tion from men than a The neglected man Is also a rarer bird than the d girl be because cause women are less choosey and about men than run about women No girl would woold dare demand that the men Ste s s goes out with should possess all the gatlon of charms and graces that the most ordinary man ex of the girl he honors with his society TET yET there are men who are persona non grata the feminine sex 1 who see no DO girlish eye brighten at their coming and who ho find that the very doormat is frozen to the floor when they calL One ot of bitten frost bitten Johnnies who saS that the gl giMs ls began turning him down downin m the third grade in the grammar school and have han been doing It ever since asks me m why it is that he has never been able to make a hIt with the ladies I He He avers that he be is quite as good looking as the a average man that he has a college degree that he has no bad habits that he is well to do and no tightwad Yet no woman ever dances with him or ac- ac accepts ac accepts his m invitations unless he is the last call to the dining car and andall andall all of his gifts are just so many pounds of candy and pages of read read- reading readIng ing matter Instead of being love tokens f I What it is that maKes maltes the sexes attractive to each other Is Isa Isa a that old Nature still hides in her hard old heaM It isn't beauty or worth or any merit that we cin can ae- ae aeI ac acquire quire by any striving of her own All that we know Is t at I I Isome some women a come hither er look in their eyes that every man answers at sight and that some men have a way with them so that they have only to whistle and every girl gets up and follows them AND a got th-e th look or she hasn't and a mans man's got the thO way with mth him or he be hasn't Nobody knows the how of it or the v h of It it or the thea a hen of It And that's that Leaving aside s mysterious gift that makes a man a there are several reasons why hy the common or garden vari varl variety ety ol of man tails falls to be popular with women I think that the tl chief thing that women hate in men Is pa the patronage the condescending attitude l NOTHING theIl makes a woman so loathe a man as for him to pull the angel stuff on her but treat her ber as It if she were a moron who have intelligence enough to come in out of the ram rain man who sneers at her sex who derides women's opinions and makes manI a I joke of their efforts to improve themselves and who arrogates to a superior place in lD the order of creation just because he is a aman aman man may be very sure that he will not bo be popular with women aI I Another man who never makies ma a hit with women is the he egotist Its It's only women who have plumbed the depths of vanity and self conceit to which the male ass can go TEN A are ashamed to boast to each other Nor will they stand it I 1 from each other But Dut with a woman the egotist lets himself go fo hours bragging about how great and he is and heIs about the tho marvelous things ho he has achieved and what he is going to doJ do J Only the women who have in them the spirit of martyrs will en en- en dare tuch so the soon finds that no feminine 1 latchstring is hanging out for tor him Another unpopular man Is the man who is alway Into rows Ho He q J quarrels with the taxi driver over the fare iare he has a rumpus with the walter waiter at the restaurant over th the dishes dishes an and sends things th Ings back to be he Is peeved about tie tte seats he has at the theatre and ad the woman who has been out him always feels feel that the she has been through a battle NOT many women are grafters Very few women want men to spend more on than they can afford But Dut every woman likes to teel that a man considers the pleasure of her worth whatever It costs him and it her to death to be even an onlooker at a ata brawL Women dont don't like patronizing men or self conceited men or menor quarrelsome men or dull and who bore them And if 1 I were an unpopular man I I would try to find out to which one of thele the e classes I belong and get out of It DOROTHY
