Proper Mode of Love Making.

The Louisville Commercial quotes a
"noted belle" OF that city, who is now
"a round and rosy matron with chill
dren at her knee" as giving thefollow-
ing hints as to the proper mode oflov
making:
"A score OF men made love to me-,
said the excellent lady above referred
to, "and any one 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 n agameofchess.
II hold that love-making is an art.
There is no such think as love at first
sight. We may admire each other In
the beginning, but immediate affection
il out of the question. First impress
sions, no matter how favorable, must
be strengthened by artful cultivation.
Then love comes, and il 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 tree from
dirt. II he does all this and sues judi
ciously no arrow OF misfortune can
keep the victor's wreath from on his
crown. I might add that one OF the
requisites in personal appearance Is
clean teeth. A man may have q nose
like pumpkin, or a mouth like mann
moth cave, or eyes like a jay bird, q
hand like ham, or foot as big as O
canoe, and he con win, but If his teeth
are not what gentleman s teeth ought
to be he will rue the day he gave his
heart to well-bred womon. he may
be tall or short, stout or lean, with O
voice like sog-horn and a carriage as
ungraceful as the amble Of a camel, and
he may vet win any woman In the
world il he studies her with care and
keeps his teeth clean.
J "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 woman
when she tells him with her eyes that
her lips are yearning is an idiot. l
don't mean by this that kissing IS at
all necessary, or even proper, but IL Is
cert tainly a part and parcel OF the art
OF love-making. believe In the rough
old verse that dear little Lotta used to
sing about kissing:
Nobody is above il:
The old maids love il,
And widows have a finger in the pie.
Some people are so naughty
They say it's very naughty,
But you bet our life they do 1t Cd the sly.
al heard a pretty girl from Cleve-
land say once that she had been devot-
edly sought by young Mr.. l.. for four
years. She was fond of him and ad'
mired him for his many excellent quai'
tiles, but she finally let him go, because
as she put it, he never had thecouragt
to once squeeze her hand. To my
knowledge there was never q purer oI
better girl than that one, but she was
too full of mercury to ever wed a mar
who lacked the spirit to at least squeezt
her hand in a favorable way. Rea
women, | protest, care nothing fol
milk-and-water men, nor do they al
! ways worship heroes, but, a. hav'
said, if any intelligent man, with clear
linen and clean teeth, will make Ju
dicious combination offlattery and ar
dent devotion he can win any woman
: in the world who doesen't hate him 10
n cause in the beginning of the affair
i, "Let me say just one more wort
about love-making. This is for girls
|. A noted French author i'll one OF hi
books declares that jealous men ar
always tickle. 1t is just the other way
Jealous men are never tickle. Jealous.
is the surest evidence of true love
When woman can arouse the demol
.. in a mans bosom, she may alway
feel sure of him. He loves her and vii
90 on his knees when she bids him."
