MANS OPINION OF WOMAN.
A mans opinion about woman is always
curious, so / asked one the other day If a
woman in front Of me, whom | had been
admiring for an entire block, was not waat
| call pretty woman.
He said: s"No," and when | asked him
why, he answered me thus:
''She is not pretty because her hair is in
disorder, and a man likes a woman's hair to
look smooth when she is on the street.
''She is not pretty, because there is a line
OF black under her eyes TO enlarge them,
ana a man likes q woman TO have clean
face.
''She is not pretty, because she is con-
sctous that she 10 attracting attention, and
a man likes woman TO be so lady-like on
the street that she passes by unnoticed
''She Is not pretty, because her hat is an
exaggeration, ner hips arc padded, and be-
cause a man likes woman to be real and
strongly objects 20 bizarre headgoar.
''She is not pretty, because she Doesn't
walk WE'LL she minces one moment and
trots the next, aud a man likes to see
woman little slow and dignifed in her
movements.
''She is not pretty, because her mouth Is
too big, and a man had rather have a
woman with no mouth at all than one with
one that seems adapted solely for election-
eering purposes.
''She is not pretty. because she is bad
form. aud IL you were a man you would
have seen that at once and would have
passed her by as undesirable" SO much for
the opinion of a man.
Again | render thanks that I am
woman. BAB
