The man that women like-who is he?
This subject was discussed by num-
Der of ladies in Fridays CALL. Since
then other opinions have been received.
They are different in tone and represent
different fancies, but they will be found
de cidedly interesting to the sterner sex.
1.-The cast OF man who is popular with
women? l guess he will have to be made
to order, for / have not seen him yet" said
Alice Carey Waterman, laughing.
Seriously. though, women seldom seem
to be of one mind upon that subject.
Every one who has heard women talking
together must have noticed such remarks
as 4 dun't see what that woman can have
seen in him.
1.-THE men are few and far between that
are liked by all women, and there are GER
tainly not enough popular men TO go
round; so perhaps it is a blessing that
women often admire one style of man and
marry another.
About the sweetest. most womanly girl
[ know astonished me by remark a little
while ago. She was engaged TO model
youth, vet she said, with sincerity: He
is the better fellow TO marry, but do you
know he is entirely too tame; there is
more fascination about - naming a
what odd tastes even the best OF women
have. in spite of their better judgment.
u But with regard to the man-if he
eXists-whO is universally popular with
women, the character must be the chief
charm. Very early in life women look at
the surface, but later they think of the
character. A popular man must have tact,
be able to say the right thing at the right
time and say it with sincerity. He may be
as homely as mud fence, but women will
always be drawn to him if he is courteous
and thoughtful and dvines their wishes
before they have time to express them. A
man who can treat interiors as human
beings is always Opular.
"Ob, and one thing more that is certainly
not least in the estimation of every woman,
man need not be dudiSh, but he cannot
be too scrupulously neat and cleanly in
appearance. All men who are popular
with women are careful on that score"
THE subject is so foreign to mel am
welded to art" said Alice Rideout, ad-
justing q screw in a Misunderstanding
instrument, the use of which is known TO
SOUL tOrs alone.
"Ihe sort of men who are popular with
women? Won't you give me month to
consider the subject? No?
well. l don't think most girls like
blonds-l do not. But every one has diff
ferent tastes. Some romantic girls like
wild, dashing fellows. others care more for
melancholy, languishng men with his
tories attached to them.
Every woman seems to start out in life
with an ideal-but she never meets him, !
guess. That reminds me the men who
would be popular with women in the light
of probable husbands would not be the
men they might admire most in society. a
husband should be rich and goodman
nered. but not very handsome-so that
other women won't admire him. But for a
popular acquaintance, think good looks
and good conversation go further than
anything, although pleasant, respectful
manner goes long way"
Does the art of paying compliments
help TO make man popular?" asked the re-
porter.
No, Indeed" answered the young
sculptress with decision. ''it makes man
detestable. Unless perhaps" she added
with relenting smile, "be knows how to
pay them so gracefully that people are de-
ceived into believing him. Then compli-
ments are all right.
But really it is hard to say Just VIII at
does make man popular. 1 think it is a
mercllul arrangement that there are very
few OF them to be found, for all the women
would be falling in love with the same
man. In my eyes humrlness is a great
attraction; it makes a man so interesting
when you know he has no good point in
his appearance to find out W neither he has
any in his character"
What do you consider a mans best
claim to popularity?" was asked of Lou
| Wall. the artist.
intellect, decidedly" replied she
promptly, "but then there are times and
reasons when even intellectual men are at
disadvantage. L might meet some one in
ballroom and consider he deserved 10 be
popular, and yet should know the same
man would be an utter bore in my own
parnr.
'Of course, If a man wants to be popular
with women in society he must be clever
at getting up things, and giving all the
young people a good time-his looks don't
count much. Dancing alone will make a
man popular with society girls.
II don't think women make universal
favorites as much as men do" concluded
Miss Wall, their tastes ara so often
changing, A girl of 16 will admire one
sort Of man, and when she il % her idea
will very likely be entirely different"
