Their Wants, Ways and Weaknesses SET
Forth In Plain Language.
II isn't much wonder that young
women paint. powder and bleach,
when it is known that the average
young man is more readily attracted
by these tricks than by true womanly
graces. This is probably not true OF
the wife hunter, but il certainly is OF
the young man who Is merely desir-
u of being entertained.
The average young woman is fond
OF being told that she is good looking,
that she is of good form and carriage.
She takes il as a higher compliment
to be considered attractive than 10 be
regarded as sensible, intelligent and
practical.
Men like TO preach down extrava.

who uses pretty gloves and stockings,

fact remains that their chief object in

NATIVE, and il is right If you ask u
,!R.arried lady how she captured her
husband she will tell you she does not
know, and probably all that he can
tell is that il was her winning ways.
1t is of little consequence how they
were brought together 70 that the at
traction was mutual. II the real man
and the real woman were the attrac.
tive features il were we'll but if beau
'ty, dress or fortune attracted them
their happiness is far from being as,
sured.
A mans heart is ensnared by a pref
ty hand, nice teeth, a round, low
voice, frank eyes, beautiful hair; by
the way a girl walks, talks, plays,
rides; by her gifts, her smiles, her
amiability, good taste, generosity, or
the name in which she greets, fas-
cinates or abuses him. She may not
know how she won him, but il she
doesn't know how 10 keep him the
best thing for h-r TO do is TO find out.
There are many things we know by
intuition; The rest have TO be learned
by experience. Conscious of her abili.
ties and liabilities as a wife, a wise
woman will learn to keep a husband
Just as she learns how 10 keep house.
Men r susceptible, even more so
than women.
There is this difference The aver.
age man inquiries whether he is in
condition 10 marry. The average wo
mar doesn't. If the man pleases her
fancy she is satisfied. She may not
be able TO play any part in the new
drama except to hang upon his neck
and Goa TO he petted.
Such a wife is a burden 10 any man.
She doesn't understand him, neither
does she know the chief constituents
of q home.
The wife who takes an interest in
home, in her husbands affairs, and
inds pleasure in contributing to his
comfort and happiness is a treasure of
greater value than a gold mine.
The wife who has no higher am.
o'on than TO be kept alive is a poor
.eStment.
The average man has very little use
for a smart woman. She is full Of
schemes, and isambitious TO shine. Her
disposition is anything but domestic,
and she is not the most genial com.
panion for a man whose mind is taken
up with business affairs. He doesn't
car how intelligent she is, but he
hasn't much use for her if she is
smart.
Men like to be looked up at, depend
ed on, quoted and referred TO. An
ugly temper is a trial that few women
are able 10 endure. The only cure is
silence. You can't kiss a furious man;
it only makes him worse. The thing
TO dois 10 keep still, let him cool, and
let the matter drop. He will respect
your and come TO terms of his
dccOfu. /
Men must be taken as they are, not
as they should be; they improve un.
der the refining influence OF mutual
love, and be is a wretched specimen
of humanity who cannot be counted
on TO shield his wife from the Bullets
OF the world and be an anchor when
youth and beauty have proved un.
faithful.
To be born a woman is TO be born a
martyr, but the husband that is worth
wedding is worth keeping; and if a
little artiice, a pleasant smile, a con-
tented heart, forbearance. devotion and
tact will hold him, by all means let
MIN be held. -Pittsburg Commercial
