A Good.FelIow Girls Lot.


The woman of forty-fye who owns
to her age aud could therefore pre-
sumo to give advice to others was
talking seriously to the comparatively
young woman Of thirty.
Don't ever allow yourself to reach
that stage Of affability," she was say
ing, cat which people will call you
good fellow. know that many girl
likes to have that reputation and men
are all likely to be attentive to the
sort of girl who is called good fel-
low. She is generally sure Of having
good time. Men will take her out,
always be glad to have her in party,
be very attentive to her at dances,
and make her seem like belle. All
these rewards come to the girl who is
a good fellow. But I have rarely
heard of man who wanted to marry
her.
"Of course some man usually does
marry her, because the girls who are
good fellows usually find husbands.
But the demand for them as wives is
not relatively so great as their popu-
larity with men. Girls with half the
amount Of attention that the good fell
low gets are going to be married first.
Men don't want for wives the women
who are companions. They want wo-
men who appeal to their affections,
not to their sense Of what is agreeable
socially. l have seen good-fellow
girls who waited for years to marry,
even when they had more men around
them than the other type Of woman
who was married at the end Of her
first year out.
Don't get the reputation of being
good fellow, whatever men may
think Of you. I don't mean not to be
fast. do not take that into consider
alton at all, because that is vulgar, in
the first place, and the cocktail-drjnk-
ing, loud talking type has nj ing
whatever in common with that sort of
girl meant when spoke Of her as a
good fellow. The type meant has
nothing in common with the girl who
is rapid. She can be as good form, as
well bred, and as modest as the most
shrinking type Of intensely feminine
woman.
"The popularity Of girl who is
called good fellow can usually be
explained. 7 heard u man say the
other day that he would always rather
be with woman than q man. IF he
goes out to dinner, he prefers to be
with woman, and if he goes. to the
theater feminine society is more
agreeable to him. He confesses
frankly that the principal reason for
this preference is his ability to do as
he wants to, when his companions are
women, whereas he would be COM
PEELED to do SO the rest Of the party
wanted if he were not with women. If
he goes to dinner with woman, he
selects the restaurants that he pre-
fers and orders what he cares to eat.
A man may do that adroitly, even
while pretending &c consult woman's S
taste most assiduously. If he goes to
the theater, he selects the play he
likes, in the majority Of cases, and
the woman has to like it, too.
"Now the good fellow is likely 70
find good many admirers among men
Of this class, who want woman COM
panion merely because they have
things more their own way shan IL
they go not with men. But it is not
worth while, for the sake Of any pleas
ure to be got out of it, for girl to ac-
quire the reputation Of being good
fellow. It is likely to interfere with
some Of her more important aspira-
tions for the future, and you know
matrimony and good husband will
compensate girl for missing great
deal in the way Of good time before
the wedding. ."-Ne,o York Sun. !
