WHY SOME GIRLS
LACK LOVERS.

Why, indeed? There is the girl who
never tries to be agreeable unless she
may have all her own way. This type
of girl is never successful in her love
affairs. BE man ever so smitten with
girl, he is but human and will not
give way in every little thing. AS the
old lady said: Keep a man in hot wa
ter little while, and he boils soft. But
let him remain in hot water, and even
tually he hardens." Yes, and then he
asks himself a serious question. He
considers that girl who is so contrary
during courtship will be no better as a
wife, and so for his own sake and for
hers ne rides away.
Then, the girl with the naughty man.
ner and cold stare No man dares TO
make love because there is nothing
whatever in her to love, and as Bridget
has II, zone cannot make nothin ONT
OF nothin." So this damsel scowls AT
what she considers their bad taste mr.
terly ignoring the fact that her own
foolish conduct is the sole cause of
their seeming neglect. Imagine a man
wooing an ice maiden or an Egyptian
sphinx.
Another girl without lover Is the
exceedingly shy maiden. She likes to
admire men at distance. but the mo-
ment they draw near she drives them
back with her embarrassment. They
retire simply out OF pity, seeing her dis.
tress and awkward bashfulness.
Finally, the girl who does not want n
lover-the home girl, who finds a low
in domestic employment and is bliss
fully happy in following her round OF
duties. There are many such. Perhaps
they dream Of an ideal lover, but he is
so far away or so out OF reach that she
is content to dream Of him as an unat-
tainabie hero.
This girl sometimes gets lover.
though generally late on in life. She
never loves passionately but her az
fecttuns are sincere, honest and lasting.
and she always does her duty.
