What Man Likes in Women.

A man likes beauty as a bee does
flowers. He says it has no attraction
if not linked with wit and charm.
But experience proves the contrary.
Beauty has always been queen, and
though a wise Frenchman says her
power is waning, there is little evil
dence of it yet.
A mar likes a neat woman and adj
mires a,stylish one. If you can work
this com bination you have a winner.
But it is difficult in these days of bag
gy coats and frowsy hair, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph.
A mar likes a woman of Indepen-
dence and strong character. But he
does not want it to strong. There
must be sufficient feminine weakness
about to tickle his vanity as her pro-
tector and defender. He likes the
clinging vine, but don't cling too
much after the, marriage ceremony
has been performed. He may decide
hat what was but charming indepen-
dence in the honeymoon is a heavy
load after the glamour has worn off.
A man likes a woman to be capable
of talking well if need arises and if he
want to show off to his relatives and
friends what a smart girl he has.
But he doesn't want her to talk too
much when he is the only listener.
He would rather do the talking him
self.
A man likes an accomplished and
bright woman rather than a talented
one, and the entertaining qualities
rather than the markedly intellectual
ones. If you really are clever, be
clever enough to conceal it, if you
want to be popular with the average
man. He is afraid of the women who
take degrees as a bachelor of philoso-
ply and other terrifying terms. He
knows he cannot shine in such socie-
ty, and he HES him to the girl who
babbles about her friends, the play
and such brain-soothing subjects, or
who will listen while he talks about
football, the club, or why the dog
didn't get a prize.
