WOMAN MAKING LOVE.
Suggestive Hints to the Gentle Sex.

Many young women write to US,
asking for instruction as to how
they shall win men for whom they
have conceived an affection, but
who show no responsive feeling.
Charlatans sell love powders to such
enamored maidens, under the pre-
tense that if they give them surrep-
titiously to the blind or Indifferent
objects of their regard, the attach
ment they feel will be reclpro
Gated. But no powders ever made
were able to kindle love in the
breast OF a lovable woman, can
start that fame which, once it
blazes forth, is apt to be cOnsum-
ing fire.
There is, indeed, very little for a
Girl to do who has fallen in love
with a man who is unaware of the
warmth of her feelings toward him.
or careless as to whether they are
warm or cold. She is foolish if she
thrusts herself or him, and she
makes a mistake if she does not let
him have the initiative in the for
NAL courtship; though it is entirely
proper and consistent with the fem
mime nature for her to attract him
to her by modest arts, for philoso-
pliers say that women are the first
to fall in love. Their pride and
their dignity may demand that they
shall be cOurted, yet oftentimes the
prize has been won before it has
been really sought.
Such is the case of a Western
girl, who thus writes us:
"Sir, am an old maid 80 years
old, am tailoress by trade, and if
1 believe everything that is told me,
l am very pretty.
Now, sir, as you give such good
advice to everybody that writes to
YOU, l have come to the conclusion
that 1 will write to you in the time
of trouble as prefer your advice to
that of any friend ] have in the
world. 1 never had a proposal in
my life, 1 am obliged to own. There
is q young man in this neighbor
hood whom l love with all my heart,
but he never pays me the least at
tention, nor seems to care a cent
for me. l have asked him q great
many times to take me home from
meeting bees and cuttings, ut he
always finds some excuse not to.
don't know what to do about it.
How can l make myself attractive
to him and make him propose, fol
if l don't marry this young man,
my heart will break? L could not
live without him.
GA friend of mine said that
ought not to ask him to take me
home. Isn't that proper? And tell
me what other young ladies dc
when they set their heart on q
young man. / wrote him letter
once and told him what / thought
of HIM but he never answered it
Please advise me what to do

You do wrong in making such
advances to the fellow, for by 50 do
ing you stir up his vanity and give
the idea that you are throwing
yourself at his head. Never dc
that openly, though many adroit
girls, fuller of arts than yOg, evi

men without their object being un
derstood. Widows, however, are
greater adopts at the business than
maidens,

All you can do is to make yourself
agreeable as possible to him, and
wait for the result. You will never
win by sending him love letters fol

contrary, il yoQ continue to do so he
will be likely to regard yOE as an in

propositions for marriage are usual
