Forth 10 Plain Language.
Il isn't much wonder that young
women paint, powder ana pieacn,
when it is known that the average
vounp man is more readily attracted
Nv these tricks than by true womanly
oyaces. This is probably not true OF
the wife hunter, but it certainly Is OF
tbe Young man who is merely desir
GUS of being entertained.
The average young woman is tond
of being told that she is good looking
that she is OF good form and carnage.
She takes it as higher compliment
10 be considered attractive than TO be
regarded as sensible, intelligent and
practical.
Men like to preach down extrava
oance and style and dress; but she
who bangs her hair, hides a bloth or
scar under piece OF court plaster,
who uses pretty gloves and stockings,
trim slippers, perfumes, balms, colo
creams, finger curls and fancy notions
to increase her charms is the woman
who is admired by them all. Com
men sense and ugliness may be moral
ly wholesome, but they're not allur-
ing, and art is liable to trample over
nature unadorned.
Young woman may deny it, yet the
fact remains that their chief object IN
life is to win husbands 1t is their
nature, and it is right If you ask a
married lady how she captured her
husband she will tell you she does not
know, and probably all that ne can
tell is that it was her winning ways.
II is of little consequence how they
were brought together SO that the at
traction was mutual. Ii the real man
and the real woman were the attrac-
tive features it 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 pref
ty hand, nice teeth, round, low
voice, frank eyes, beautiful hair; by
the way girl walks, talks, plays
rides; by her gifts, her smiles, her
amiability, good taste, generosity, or
the manner in which she greets, fas-
climates or abuses him. She may not
know how she won him, but If she
doesn't know how to keep him the
best thing for her 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 wife, wise
woman will learn to keep husband
| Just as she learns how to keep house.
Men are susceptible, even more SC
than women.
There is this difference: The aver
age man inquiries whether he is ii
condition to marry. The average wo
man doesn't If the man pleases hei
fancy she is satisfied. She may mo-
be able to play any part in the new
drama except to hang upon his neck
and coax to be petted.
Such wife is a burden to any man
She doesn't understand him, neithe
does she know the chief constituent
of home.
The wife who takes an interest il
home, in her husbands affairs. ant
finds pleasure in contributing to hi
comfort and happiness is a treasure o
greater value than gold mine.
The wife who has no higher am
bition than to be kept alive is a poo
investment.
The average man has very little us
for smart woman. She is full O
schemes, and is ambitious TO shine He
disposition is anything but domestic
and she is not the most genial com
panion for a man whose mind stalker
up with business affairs. He doesn'
care how intelligent she is, but h
hasn't much use for her if she i
smart.
Men like to be looked up at, depend
cd on. quoted and referred to. Al
ugly temper is a trial that few womel
are able to endure. The only cure
silence. You can't kiss a furious man
it only makes him worse. The thin,
to do is to keep still, let him cool, an,
let the matter drop. He will respec
your sense and come to terms of hi
own accord.
Men must be taken as they are, no
as they SHOULD be; they improve un
der the refining influence of mutua
love, and he is wretched specimen
Of humanity who cannot be counte,
on to shield his wife from the buffet
of the world and be an anchor whel
youth and beauty have proved uu
faithful.
To be born woman is to be born
martyr, but the husband that is wort
wedding is worth keeping; and if
little artifice. pleasant smile, cor
tented heart, forbearance, devotion an
tact will hold him. by all means lc
him be held.-Pittsburg Commercial
