HOW TO WIN A WOMAN.
ILouisv;lie Commercial, |

Louisville CommerciAl.l In the classic language of Mr, George w. Simpson, from che interior of Ken lucky, the man had "been thar" who writ these lines:
 ~'ris sweet to love but oh how bitterl
 To love gal and then not git her"
 As the poet touchinsly insinuaies, the sensation of being thoroughly in love Is the sweetest emotion that moves the hu- man breast. Love is the joy of ali crea- tion. But love unreqaited has the sting of q million deaths. Love leads to hap piness, to Snieery, to crime, and to suicide. Nearly every weak-minded man who loves girl and don't "git her scomes a selfassassin. Men of stronger minds suffer for while, and then, as a rule, look for another girl and make the best of experience.
 But the glamour is gone, aud senti- ment is no longer the main-spring. Method takes it's place, for he who lcycs the second time loves with q system. It is the first love that meves to ecstatic bliss or reduces life to stainless blank, as the girl always puts it when she writes by her window at midnight, with the moonbeams streaming in to remind her of blisstul love stroll in tue June-time long ago. But according to the professed belief of a noted belle of this city, who is now a rosy matron with children at her knee, the poets dreadful contingency need never bring misery to q lovers 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 referred to, "and any of them might have had me, if he had studied the art of love, and by ob- serving the same care that he would give any time to game of chess.
 "I hold that love making is an art There is no such thing as love al first sight. We may -dmire elCh other in the be- ginning but immediate affection is out Of the question. First stimpressions, no matter how favorable, must be strengthened by artful cultivation. Then love comes, and # the man who sues m make no mistake he is sure to win, no matter what his con- di,ion may be. Of course he must talk we'll, dress respectfully, and, above all, wear clean linen and keep his face free from dirt. If he does all this, and sues Ijudiciously, no arrow of misfortune can keep the victor's wreath from off his crown. ] might add that one of the re- quisites in personal appearance is clean teeth. A man may have a nose like a pumpkin, or mouth like the Mammoth cave, or eyes like jay bitd, a hand like ham, or a foot as big as canoe, and he cap win but if his teeth are not what a gentleman's teeth ought ;o be he sill rue the day he gave his heart to a welt bred woman. He may be tall or short, stout or lean, with a voice like fog horn and a carriage as ungraceful as the amble of camel, and he may yet sin any woman in the world if he studies her with care and keeps his teeth clean.
 More women are won by iudicious fattery than by any other means, for every other wom sn is more or less vain. and she is naturally fond of the man who finds her weakness and handles 1t with skill. Let woman once imagine that she has pretty eyes, and if man will tell her so, constantly and artfuily, she is cer- tain to have weakness for him which may be easily famed into a 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 they belle them selves extravagantly. No woman ever loved man violently whom she was un- able to infect with sting of the green. eyed monster. It is true that some women are fond of complacent, easy. going and impassionate men, but as a rule such fellows can never inspire the genuine emotion. ltis your hot .heade passionate and impulsive man who car drive woman to distraction. Ali womer 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 drif of my argument.
 A man must be more or less hot headed he must be more or less jealous and more or less passionate, to inspire { woman with the love that burns. The man who wouldn't kiss woman wher she tells him with her eyes that her lip. are yearning is an idiot don't mean b, this that kissing Is at all necessary, ol even proper, but ii certainly is a part and parcel of the art of love. making. be- lieve in the rough old verse that dear lit. tie Lotta used to sing about kissing: Nobody is above it;
 The old maids love it,
 And widows have finger in the pie
 Some people are so naughty
 That they say it's very naughty,
 But you bet your life they do 1t on the sly "I heard pretty girl from Cleveland say once that she had been devotedly sought by young Mir. L. for four years She was fond of him knd admired him for many excellent qualities, but she finally let him go because, as she put it, he never once had the courage to even squeeze her hand. To my knowledse there never was purer or better girl tn an that one but she was too full of mercury to ever wed man who lacked the spirit to at least squeeze hes hand in a lovabie way. Real women, protest, care noth. ing for milk and water men, nor do they always worship heroes; but, as have said, if any intelligent man, with clean
