THE WOMEN MEN LIKE.
A TYPE Nor AT ALL COMMON, BOT
ALWAYS POPULAR IN SOCIETY.

ALWAYS POPULAR IN soCr1Y.
Ia1i. the popular woman be not q
vary high type of woman, her virtues
and her faults, il must be- admitted,
ere OF an amiabie sort. She is OF
| q icing, the most social; deligbting
Ia her kind and dependent upon 1t
for her pleasures. Society is ahso-
lately necessary to ner. We do not
mean by society that which is repre-
seDted by the highest circles only 10
rank, wealth or intellect, bat siBpl
the CONSTANT friction with her fellow
beings. Solitude to her means DESC
lAtion; in it her spirits lApguisb, her
temper sours. TIE dread concen-
rated natures experience of enlarg-
ing the number OF their scouaintan-
ces, least they be distracted from
their purpose In life; the shrinking
within themselves of the shy before
strangers the depression OF the over
sensitive weighed down by a
sense of incOmpleteness in the
presence Of varied interests and aims
these are sensations unknoWO 10
the popular woman.
The popular woman is seldom
domestic; the narrow circle OF home
duties seems to be too limited to
absorb that superabuDdant energy,
and its routine is distasteful to her.
Those sudden calls shat upset the
even tenor OF existence, and prove so
hurrying and distracting TO groove
loving individuals, hav can exhilarat-
log effect upon her spirits The home |
circle may suffer from this wide ex
tension Of herself, and tael the lack
OF that Concentrated sympathy Of a
Wom ans heart which makes the
atmosphere benign; bat it, on the
other hand, shares her sense of zest
in lie; there is a Contagion in her
Incompatible enjoyment of the bust
ness or pleasure of the present. e-
The popular woman is very easy
going and largely tolerant. Next &c
her animal spirits this indulgeut
temper Is her greatest cham. We
feel 1t ease in her presence; there is
no necessity to put ones best foot
forward; intellectually and morally
We can keep on our slippers and relax
the backbone OF our principles. Her
indulgence does not spring from the
charity that kOoWeth no evil" nor I
from the cyLi3ism that believes in
evil only. bot from her knowledge OF |
