WIEN sHE is MOST FAsCINATING
Men Like Women of Nearly Forty Better
Than Those ofTwenty Years.

When thirty years OF age, woman is
most fascinating. All the women famous
for power over the hearts Of men. from
Cleopatra to Helen down. were nearer
forty than twenty when at the zenith OF
their power.
At a literary salon in Paris Balzac was
once asked by "A pretty little miss OF sew
enteen why il was he liked women she
would call passe. "Why. monsieur, even
when they are as old as forty you seem
10 enjoy their society,"! BalZac looked al
her earnestly for "a second and then
laughed heartily. lie bent over TO ex-
plain matters and remarked in a seaDus
voice as though weighing every word he
said perhaps the secret lies IN the SIM
pie fact that the woman of twenty must
be pleased. while the woman Of forty
tries TO please. and the older woman 5
power consists, not as has been 50 often
said. in understanding and making the
most Of her own charms. but i'm cOmpre-
hendng and with happy tact calling out
and making the most OF the good quail
ties of the man whose favor she seeks.
There is no doubt that a man always
admires a clever woman, yet he enjoys
himself better with Il woman who makes
him feel that ne is clever OF course. all
the men like being entertained for awhil1
by Well-informed woman. but man iS
essentially vain. and he enjoys much bet
ter the happy tact which makes him be-
lieve that he Is entertaining the well-in-
formed woman.
The woman man likes best IS not al
ways the smartest or most brilliant. No.
indeed. A pair of brown. sympathetic
eyes. a sweet voice will do away with all
the logic and philosophy mans brain
has ever entertained. or course. the wO-
man must have the happy knack OF dis
covering what subject the man talksi
about best. Then she must listen quietly
and I'm an interested manner Perhaps
Il would be a good suggestion for her To-
draw him out with happy queries until he
Is astonished az his own brilliancy.-Chi-
