Another talks largely about BUSH
ness, his plans, his specuIations, his
travels and his common sense, thinking
that after he has impressed women
with a sense Of his greatness and their
bitterness, that half the victory is won.
Another raises his hat about a foot
from the head on windy days, and bows
his body about three feet toward the
earth; rusEes TO pick up a handkerchief

There is much sentimental talk and
sentimental affection, and really much
pure love, but young women, Tor the
most part, have, aud rightly, too, a

some men, in the above way, and
some in higher and better, are doing
these things with one aim, viz: the Ad-

admiration OF women. That women
like some Of these things is not for a
moment disputed. They like neatly
kept neck, a weil-conbsd head, q good
fitting boot. They like to have man
talk Just enough about himself to show
that he has some sense and some bust
ness power. They Ike a hat raised
slightly, and bow as though men hon
ored the sex because they had mothers
or sisters or wives. They like to have
a man occasionally give them an inex-
pensiye ride, or take them to concert
or a supper, If they, by so doing, are
not going beyond their means but they
never respect him for doing That. In
deed, they think men really foolish,
lacking sense and judgment, in spend

An erroneous idea has crept into So
ciety, that il is not polite to speak upon
any subject with which the other Is not
familiar. II may be thus between men
and men, and women and women, but
never between the sexes. Every man
of observation knows that women are
like children in this respect; glad to
learn. proud to be made the recipients
OF knowledge, proud that sensible
educated men take time and pains TO
talk with them sensibly. Men might
fear that women would feel a sense of
shame at their Ignorance; on the con-

saw the same young man talking
with famous belle. By tact he drew
their remarks upon mineralogy. He
told her OF his cabinet, and his knowl-
edge OF the science, and she, who had
| heretofore talked brilliant nonsense
while everybody listened, was now a
I pleased listener, remarking to a friend,
I a fterward, that she "Admired him be-

men could talk IN the same way, but
they had never used their power before
her.
There are some things that women
dislike They dislike neckties of the
hues OF the rainbow. A plain black
suits HIRety-nine women out OF one
hundred best, because the latter gives
one, to some extent, the air of a man
the former the look OF GOp. They
have contempt for a man who spends
more than Il very small amount OF time
before his mirror, or takes look at the
hang OF his coat, or the ut of hisRloyes
and pantaloOns as he walks down town.
They can do all that Is needtul in that
line. They ex peGt TO lean upon men,
strong men, therefore they dislike those
who are Obliged TO lean upon canes or
Iamp-posts for support. Men who use
canes. other than because they are de-
crepit, shonld get some nice, strong
minded woman to lean upon, whose
arm they can take; 1t Is to be hoped
that employers will notice this growing
weakness among young men, and give
them longer mornings for rest. Women
dislike smoking, notwithstanding some
young ladies affect to enjoy cigar
smoke, aud .'hayen't the slightest OBJ

presence. All men have not learned
that women can say a great many
things they never mean. Women,
I with their tact. are about as Opaque to
men as smoked glass, while men, with
I their frankuess, are about as trAnspa-
! rent TO wGmen as window panes. No
clean woman would eyer kiss woman
who smoked for any amount OF money
that might be offered her; nor would
one ever kiss man whose mouth was
