Of the best cheese. daintily toasted. Then
you must take the door off the trap.
Monsieur Millionaire. seeing the de-
lightful cheese, Will look at it, Will sniff
at it, will enter the cage, taste the
cheese. then turn round in hurry and
start to rush out. fearing that he is
caught. He discovers that he is not;
that you are the soul of hospitality;
that you have asked him in for charm
ing dinner and then given him the lib
erty to come or so, as he pleased. This
delights him. He comes back, he nib
bles a bit more and then thinks it's
stupid eating alone. Suddenly he re-
members Mile. Bud, remem bers, too, that
she has seemed to avoid him, and this
piques him. He determines to go and
ask her to share his meal with him. She
agrees to do this, provided some one
else is asked. As the time goes by he
wonders if he shall ever be allowed to
see the pretty one by herself. One day,
quite by accident. there is a tete-a-tete.
and then you can leave the rest to Prov
idence.
That's the way to set a mousetrap
for millionaire. for. unlike a mouse,
the minute the door closes on him he
grows stubborn and insists on being al
lowed TO get out. and. equally unlike a
mouse. you can't drown him. You must
make him think how charming the bud
is and how good the cheese is. Then
don't overwhelm him with too many at
tentions, and he is yours.

of the trouble is that in a great desire
10 be clever and charming the average
woman forgets 10 be comfortable" And
it is the comfortable woman who keeps
mankind straight. She may not know
very much about Darwin or Homer. but
the woman who knows how to say and
do pleasant thing. the woman who
knows how to make a man feel at ease.
is the woman who is going TO have the
greatest control over him.

larry beautiful. whose English is or
binary. but who really has the most
marvellous power over men. Great kind

dered why. \ woman asked me the
reason for it. she said: There are 500
women who are better looking. thou
