What Women Like In Men.

Women like honesty of purpose
and consideration. They like a man
who is interested in their new
dresses, who can give an opinion on
the fit and who is properly indigant
at any article written against
women. They like a man who likes
them, who doesn't scorn their
opinions, who believes in their good
taste, who has confidence in them,
and who, best of all knows that the
love promised is given him. They
like a man who can he as strong as
a lion when trouble comes and yet,
if one is nervous and tired, can but
ton up a shoe with an amount OF
consideration that is a mental ana
physical bracer-up. They like a
man who is master of the situation
that is, who has brains enough to
help a woman decide what is the
best thing to do under the circum-
stances, and who has wit enough to
realize when one of the fairer sex is
slightly stubborn, that persuasion is
more powerful than all the argu-
ments in the world.
