He said, NO." and when / asked
him Why, he answered me thus:
She is not pretty because her
hair is in disorder, and a man likes
. woman's hair to look smooth
when on the street.
She is not pretty because there
is line of black under her eyes
TO enlarge them, and q man likes
q woman to have q clean face.
She is not pretty, because she is
conscious that she is attracting at
tention, and man likes . woman
to be 30 lady-like on the street that
she passes unnoticed.
She is not pretty, because her lips
are exsgeration, her hips are pad
ded, because q man likes q woman
to be real, and strongly objects to
bizarre head gear.
She is not pretty, because she
does not walk we'll, she minces one
moment and then trots the next
and man likes to see . woman q
