What Women Like in Men.

They like honesty of purpose and consideration.
They like men who believe in women.
They like their opinions to be thought of some
value.
They like man who can be strong as a hon

and tired, can button up shoe and do it with an
amount of consideration that is mental and
physical bracer-up.
They like man who can take hold of the baby.
convince it of his power and get to sleep after
they have been worrying with it, until their eyes
are tired and they feel as if they had no brains.
They like man who is interested in their new
dresses, who can give an opinion on the fit, and
who is properly indignant at any article written
against women.
They like man who knows their innocent weak
nesses and caters to them; who will bring home a
box of candy, the last new magazine, or the latest
puzzle sold on the street, that will do more
team its duty IN entertaining everybody for the
whole evening.
They like man who is the master of the stua-
ton-that is, who has brain enough to help a
woman to decide what is the best thing to do un-
der the circumstances and who has wit enough to

born that persuasion is more powerful than all the
arguments in the world
They like man who likes them-who doesn't
scorn their opinions, who believes in their good
taste, who has confidence in their truth, and, best
of all, knows that the love promised, is given him.
That's the sort OF man a woman likes, and her

She asked kind husband who lived on her street,
His appointments exquisite, his robes very neat.
He said "Woman's sphere was to always look sweet
In her face and attire art and nature should greet,
Then in public admirers will give her their seat"
She failed to see how this would buy bread and meat
On solemn mail organ she again struck the tone.
He said 'My dear child, Womans sphere is to moan
To conceal her deep sorrow and smother her groan,
For man can interpret Gods will alone;
In natures economy she's but drone
Your true proper sphere is your own home;
TO there and remain and never more rOam.o

What Men Like in Women.

There is a certain something, which, for want of
better name is called womanliness, and it is that
which makes women attractive to men. A great
many virtues go to make up this one great pos
session and they are what men like in women
Men like, in the first place, amiability in
woman.
They like pleasant appearance.
They like the doing of little things that are
pleasant to them.
They like the courtesy of the Preside.
They like women whose lives and faces are al
ways full of the sunshine of contened mind and
a cheerful disposition.
They like an ability to talk well and know-
edge of the virtue of silence.
They like motherliness big enough to under
stand the wants of the Older as well as the younger
boys.
They like a disposition to speak good, rather
than evil of every human being.
They like sympathy-which means willing ear
for the tale of sorrow or gladness.
They like knowledge of how to dress well, which,
by-the-bye, doesn't mean conspicuousy Men
are most attracted by good material, plain draper
les and quiet colors; not by snowy colors or de-
signs.
They like intelligence, but they prefer that the
heart should be stronger than the brain.
They like companion-a woman who has
sufficient knowledge of the world and its ways to
talk well with them, who is interested in their
lives and their plans and in their hopes who
knows how to give cheering word, or to listen
quietly and by a tender look express the grief
which the heart is feeling.
They may sometimes say that children are a
bore and nuisance, but a man shrinks from
woman who openly declares her dislike of them.
A man expects the maternal instinct In woman
and is disappointed If he does not find it.
They like women to be affectionate-there never
was man yet no matter how stern, no matter
how cold, no matter how repressive as far as his
own feelings were concerned, who did not like a
loving squeeze of the hand, or tender kiss from
the woman nearest to him.
These are some Of the things that men like in
women.-Ladies' Home Journal

he regretted the SLOW progress Of business
