LOVE-lMAKING.
A Kentucky Belle On the Sweetest Emo
ton that Moves the Human
Rrf st.

writ these lines:
'Tis sweet to love; 'int, oh. how bitter,
To have gal, and then not git her.
As the poet touchingly insinuates,
says the Louisville Commercial, the
sensation of being thoroughly in love
is the sweetest emotion that moves the
human breast. Love rules the nation.
Love is the JOY of all creation. But
love unrequited has the sting of a mil
lion deaths. Love leads to happiness,
to misery, to crime, and to suicide
Nearly every weak-minded man who
loves and don't ''git her. becomes a
self-assassin. Men of stronger minds
suffer for awhile, and then, as a rule,
look for another girl and make the best
of experience.
But the glamor is gone and senti-
ment is no longer the handspring.
Method takes its place, for he who
loves the second time loves with a sys-
tenn. 1t is the first love that moves to
ecstatic bliss or reduces life to a STAIN
less blank, IS the girl always puts it
when she writes by her window at mid
night with the moonbeams streaming
in TO remind her of bliSsful love
stroll in the June time long ago. But
according to the protested belief of
noted belle of this city, who is now
round and rosy matron with children
at her knee, the poets dreadful contin-
gent need never bring misery to low
er's heart. In other words, the man
who loves in the right way can always
'.git her.
"A score of men made love to me-"
said the excellent lady above referred
to, land anyone of them might have
had me if he had studied the art of
love-making with the same care he
would give any time to game of
chess.
81 hold that love-making is an art.
There is no such thing as love at first
sight. We may admire each other in
the beginning, but immediate affection
is out of the question. First impress
sions, no matter how favorable, must
be strengthened by artful cultivation.
Then love comes, and if the man who
sues makes no mistake, he is sure to
win, no matter what his condition may
be. OF course, he must talk well, dress
respectfully, and, above all, wear clean
linen and keep his face free from dirt.
If he does all this and sues judiciously
no arrow of misfortune can keep the
victor's wreath from off his crown. |
might add that one of the requisites in
personal appearance is clean teeth. A
man may have nose like a pumpkin,
or a mouth like a Mammoth cave, or
eyes like a jay bird, a hand like ham,
or foot as big as a canoe, and he can
win, but if his teeth are not what
gentleman teeth ought to be he will
rue the day he gave his heart to a we'll
bred woman. He NAV be tall or short,
stout or lean, with voice like a fog
horn and carriage as ungraceful as
the amble of a camel, and he may vet
win any woman in the world if he stud
les her with care and keeps his teeth
clean.
''More women are won by judicious
fiattery than by any other means, for
every woman is more or less vain, and
she is naturally fond of the man who
finds her weakness and handles it with
skill. Let woman once imagine that
she has pretty eyes. and if man will
tell her so constantly and artfully, she
is certain to have weakness for him,
which may be easily famed into
flame of love, and ardent love at that.
This is merely an example.
.'All women profess to hate men
who are jealous, but in this way they
belle themselves extravaoantly. No
woman ever loved a man violently
whom she was unable to affect with
sting OF the green-eyed monster. 1t
is true that some women are fond of
complacent, easy-golng, and impassion-
ate men, but as rule such fellows can
never inspire the genuine emotion. 1t
is your hot-headed, passionate, and i'm
puisive men who can drive woman to
destruction. All women are more or
less sentimental and so are all good
men for that matter. Sentiment has
nothing to do with complacency.
Therefore you can understand the drift
OF my argument.
"a man must be more or less hot
headed; he must be more or less ieal-
Gus and more or less passionate to in
splre woman with the love that
burns. The man who wouldn't kiss
woman when she tells him with her
eyes that her lips are yearning is an
idiot. ! don't mean by this that kiss
ing IS at all necessary, or even proper,
but is certainly part and parcel of
the art of love-making. l believe in
the old rough verse that dear little
Lolita used to sing about kissing:
Nobody is aboveit;
The old maids love it,
And widows have finger in the pie.
Some people are SO naughty
They say g very naughty,
But you bet your life they do it ON the
Il heard pretty girl from Cleve-
land say once that she had been de-
votedly sought by young Mr.. L. for
four years. She was fond of him and
admired him for many excellent quail
ties, but she finally let him 90, because,
as she put it, he never had the courage
to squeeze her hand. To my knowl-
edge there never was purer or better
girl than that one, but she was too full
of mercury to wed man who Lacked
the spirit to squeeze her hand in low
able way. Real women, l protest,
care nothing for milk-and-water men,
nor do they always worship heroes,
but, as | have said, if any intelligent
man, with clean linen and clean teeth,
will make a judicious combination of
win any woman in the world who does
not hate him for cause in the begin
ming of the affair"
Let me say Just one word more about
love-making. This is for girls. A
noted French author in one of his books
declares that Jealous men are always
tickle. 1t Is just the other way. Jeal-
Gus men are never tickle. Jealousy is
the surest evidence of true love. When
woman can arouse the demon in a
mans bosom, she may always feel sure
OF him. He loves her and viii 90 on
his knees when she bids him.
A statistician had figured out the ex-
penditures for various purposes in the
United States approximately as follows:
Drink, 5000, 900, 900; missions, home
and foreign, s., $50. 600; bread, $685.
000, 900; meat, S203, 600, 600; iron and
steel, $500, 600, 900; WOODEN goods, $780,
100000, sawed lumber, $3.50, 900, 600;
cotton goods, $4,000, 900; boots and
