' Niithlnp attracts v.-oman to a man more at tint light than for him to be I rell dressed, and particularly for him ' to be Immaculately clean. A man I may have the brain of u genius, the!

Thl r- aif plenty of men like that. 1 They are loo lazy to ; ilk. Tiny seem to think lhat a woman should I i i pleased to spend n evening g'jim; I through her parlor tricks foi their di- version, and so they sit as utteily UHr responsive as stone images, while a girl talks her head off trying to hit on some topic In which they are ln-t' ln-t' rested And then they wonfer why they don't net Ihe glud hand, and there Is no welcome on h dn'ur mat at the houses they condescend to visit. Just as afflicting in the man v hose a hole line of conversation Is aijotit himself. Vet there are men who will cump on a girl's parlor CQUCh, and monologue on. hour aitor hour, about I tho lost time th went fishing, o-thiir" o-thiir" automobile, or what the said to the boss, and the boss said to them, and think they are mnklnq themselves Irresistibly fa?clnatlnij. They haven't sense enough to know that no woman on earth but a man's mother, or his wife, wants to hear a .-.nfcl" ,il oi his life. The thing a girl pines to he;.r about is how beautiful and wonderful, i nd different from all the rest of In i sex, -ii-- is; ami the nian who wants to be a spell binder with 'he fair sex has got to confine his attention lo that topic, if he expects to get m pneore. Next, Is tho unpopular man a tightwad tight-wad ? The right sort of a girl doesn't want a man to spotld more money on her than h- an afford, hut what he does spend, she wnnls him to Spend freely, and as If he enjoyed giving her a good time, It !s bad I enough for a wife to have to corkscrew cork-screw the pennies out of her husband I pocket, a girl with any r a If respec( simply won't stand :'or it In hef beau. She feels it an Insult If when a man gives her a glass of sod x. or takes her to the BlOVleS ! does it with an air of begrudging the price. Sh. wants him to at least i iake the gesture of thinking tho: nothing 1 good enough for her, .md that he would like to lay th world at her feet. Hut when all Is said, It is not difficult dif-ficult to please women. All that a man needs Is to be reasonably well dressed, civil, and Interesting, and generous. For women are not as critical crit-ical of men as men are of women. 'W hich is lucky for men. |
