HOW MEN MAKE LOVE.

-..' RornnLonS Oh SuttoeDe
"a Ftenohman is the most delicate
and persistent of snitolst" said Marie Hal
ton, tho Franco-AmericAn opera boufIe
singer, In . recent ipteryiaM to New
York World reporter. "Repel his ad
vances and he rodoubles his attentions.
If you treat him coolly, his bouquets
generally increase in sizo and beauty.
Not all at once, mind you. He doe
nothing to croate surprise and put tn,
object Of his sentimental attack on til
'qul vive. Your true FrenchInan is a:
crtist in lovo as in evory thing olso.
The bouquet incronsesin size almost i'm.
percoptibly day by DAY, and delicate at
tentions OF all kinds which sorvo. to
soften the perverse heart OF a woman
are multiplied after the same careful
and mathematical fashion. The amount
Of time Fronchman will give to the
besieging Of a citadel is, in itself, tho
most delicate compliment he can pay to
tho object Of his devotion. And 1t Is for
this reason that Frenohmen are usually
successful their love affairs. Men who
at first acquaintance arc positively dis
tasteful succeed in mingling their per-
sonnlity after time so thoroughly with
the first unfavornblo impressions arc al
together ohliterated.
"The American, on the other hand,
carries into his love-making the ideas
which hove proved successful in his
business. His chief object seems to be
to save time. He measures his success
in loye not 80 much by what he captures
as the time he has expended in winning
o victory. He is in tho habit OF taking
every thing for granted, and, what is
worse, plainly shows in his manner that
he does so. No woman wants a man to
think that she Is easily won,. and no
mode Of proceeding could be more i'm
polite. Tho American is introduced to
lady, and in half an hour expects to
be treated like o lifelong friend. be-
lieve that in your American game Of
poker what you call 'bluf1lng' is a very
ordinary mode of procedure. AS un-
derstand it, 'blufang' is an attempt to
convince your opponent that you have
mortgage on all the cards in the pack
worth having, and you really have moth
Ing. That illustrates my point perfect
ly. An American carries the game of
bluff into his wooing. He practically
says: 4 hold all tho winning cards. and
when 1 get ready I will simply lean over
and collar the pot And he says this
with confident air highly exasperating
to his opponent, who, Of course, in this
case, happens to be the lady.
"In the matter of presents tho Ameri-
can is also very different from tho
Frenchman. He Is more lavish than
the Frenchman is, and often generous to
extravaganza. But he shows little or
no discretion. A Frenchman Is intro
duced to a lady upon whom no is de-
sirOus Of making n good impression. The
next day he sends her bouquet. OF
choice flowers and tho next box Of
bonbons. 1t may DO weeks after the in
PRODUCTION before he will make a call,
and the diamond stage Is reached only
sftcr months Of scquaintanceship
When an American meets q lady no de-
sires to win no will call the following
day and bring diamond brooch or
bracelet. The day following he will
send q grand piano or any thing olse
Th!ch happens to strike his fancy.
Should he receive no encouragement
from the lady of his choice, he does not,
rs in the case of tho Frenchman, con-
tinuo sending presents until his per-
sistence compels recognition. He sim
ply transfers his attentions to some
other quarter.
"Tho difference between Frenchman
and an Englishman may DO seen by the
way each looks at q woman on horseback.
A Frenehman looks first of all at the
woman; on Englishman first Of all at
the horse. Tho American looks ut both
together"
