According to the professed belief of q
noted belle OF this city who Is now round
and rosy matrop with children at her knee,
the poets dreadful contingent need never
bring misery to lovers heart In other
words. the man who loves in the right way
can always get her."
"A score Of men made love to me-" said
the excellent lady above referred to, "and
any one of chem might have had me IL he
had stuffed the art of love-making with the
same care he would give any time to game
of chess.
u 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 ques-
tion. Fl rst impressions, no matter how IA
vorable, must be strengthened by artful cul-
tivation. Then love comes, and il the man
who sues makes no mistake, h3 Is sure to
win, no matter what his condition may be.
or course he must talk vel, dress respectfully,
and above all wear clean linen and keep his
face free from dirt. II he does all this and
sues juliciously no arrow Of misfortune can
keep the victors wreath from off his crown.
/ might add that one Of the requisites in
personal appearance is clean teeth. A man
may have a nose like a pumpkin, or q mouth
like mammoth cave, or eyes like jay
a canoe, and he can win, but IL his teeth are
not what a gentleman'S teeth ought to be he
will rue the day he gave his heart to q we'll
bred woman. He may be tall or short. stout
or lean, with voice like fog-horn and q
carriage as ungraceful rs the amble Of
camel. and he may yet win any woman in
tho world IL he studies her with care and
keeps his teeth clean
"More women are won by judicious fat
terry 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 a
woman once imagine that she has pretty
eyes, and il q man will tell her so constantly
and artfully, she Is certain to have a weak
ness for him, which may be easily famed
into a fame Of love, and ardent love at that
This Is merely an example.
"AIl women profess to hate men who are
jealous, but in this they belle themselves ex-
travagantly. No woman ever loved a man
violently whom she was unable to infect
with sting Of the green-eyed monster. 1t
is true that some women are fond Of COM
placent, easy-going and impassionate men,
but as rule such fellows can never inspire
the genuine emotion. 1t is your hot-headed,
passionate and impulsive man who can
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 argu-
ment
"a man must be more or less hot-headed;
he must be more or less jealous and more or
less passionate to inspire a woman with the
love that burns. The man who wouldn't
kiss a woman when she tells him with her
eyes that her lips are yearning Is an idiot
don't mean by this that kissing is at all
necessary or even proper, but it Is certainly
. part and parcel Of the art Of love-making.
II heard q pretty girl from Cleveland say
once that she had been devotedly sought by
young Mr.. l. for four years. She WAS fond
of him and admired him for many excel
lent qualities but she finally let him go, be-
cause, as she put it, he never had the cour-
age to ones squeeze her hand To my
knowledge there never was purer or bet.
ter girl than that one, but she was too full
of mercury to ever wed d man who lacked
the spirit to at least squeeze her hand in
lovable way. Real women, protest. care
nothing for milk -and-water men, nor do
they always worship heroes, but, as l have
said, il any intelligent man, with clean
linen and clean teeth, will mako q judicious
combination Of fiat terry and ardent devo-
ton, he can win any woman in the world
who doesn't hate him for q cause in the be-
ginning of the affair"
