There is Il certain something, which
for want Of Il better name, is called
womanlinesS. and it is that which
makes women attractive to men. ~.
great many virtues so to make up this
one trait.
Men like, in the t:rst place, amia-e
bility in woman. They like pleas
ant appearance. They like the doing
of little things that are pleasant TO-
them. They like the courtesy OF the
lircsidc. They like women whose lives
and faces are always full OF the sum
shine Of Il contented mind and cheer
full disposition. They like ability TO-
talk we'll. coupled with proper .appre-
citation OF the charm OF timely silence
They like Il motherliness large enough:
to understand the wants Of the older;
as we'll as the younger boys. Iheys
like q natural disposition to speak good
rather than evil of any human being.
They like sympathy, the car that lends,
itself willingly to the tale OF sorrow
or gladness. They like q knowledge OF
how to dress wcll--Which, by the way,
does not mean conspicuously. They,
like intelligence, but they prefer that
the heart should be stronger than the
brain. They like to find in a woman q
companion, one who has sufficient
knowledge of the world and its ways to-
talk we'll with them who is interested
in their lives, their plans, their hopes;
who knows how to give cheerful
word or to listen quietly and by a ten
der look express the grief which the
heart is feeling. A man may some.
times say that children are bore and
nuisance. but he will shrink from
woman who declares her dislike OF
them. A man expects the maternal In
stinct in woman. and is disappointed
If he does not find it. Men like women
to be affectionate; there never yet was
man, no matter how stern, how cold,
how given to depressing his own feel
ings, who did not like loving pressure
Of the hand or tender kiss from the
woman nearest to him.
| Women, on their part, like manly,
not womanish men. They like honesty
If purpose united with considerations.
They like men who believe in woman.
They like their opinions to be thought
OF some value. They like man who
can be strong as a lion when trouble

care is nervous and tired, can button
shoe or draw off a glove or smooth
a pillow with unobtrusive heipfuS1ess.
They like man who can even master
Il baby, convincing it OF his power and
reducing it to subsection and sleep
when it's natural care taker is unstrung
and helpless. They like a man, who,
however large his own concerns, is in
terested in their new dresses, and can
give an opinion on symmetry, color
Ind fit. They like man who knows
their innocent weaknesses and caters
to them; who will bring home box of
fruit, the latest magazine, or the clever
puzzle sold on the street, and take his
part in entertaining the household for
TN evening. They like a man WHO is
master of every situation, who has wit
enough to realize. when one Of their
eek is slightly stubborn, that persua-
sion is more powerful than argument.
They like man who likes them-who
doesn't scorn their opinions, who be-
iieves in their good taste, who has con-
ddence in their truth. and who, most Of
all, knows that the love promised is
given him. That's the sort of a man
woman likes. and her every sigh OF
qualification is a little prayer: God
bless him."-W. A.. England in Kate
Fields Washington.
