what Men Like hi women.

we nave all often nSdTu TIE express
sion, "Oh, she is just the sort of woman
men like." and we all feel an imme-
date, if secret, interest in the woman
SO referred to.
That a man likes beauty goes without
saying, as that bee likes flowers. But
: as the bee only f1utters about a flower
which contains no honey-yielding prop
/ erty, so man only hovers a. brief time
about the beauty without wit or charm.
A man likes a woman to be capable
of talking at all times, but he does not
care for the garrulous girl. He likes
to be listened to himself. and objects
to the girl who monopolizes the con-
veRsation almost as much as the one
who does not talk at all.
He secretly likes a slightly uncon-
ventional girl, but he is so sensitive to
public comment that he is afraid to
openly show his liking for her unless
she is well grounded socially.
A man is utterly lacking in indie
pendence regarding these matters, and
far more sensitive to, public opinion
than the weaker sex. However much
he might enjoy the society of a woman
who defied conventional rules of dress
or department., he would not be seen
in public with her if he could avoid it.
A man likes an enthusiastic woman,
but he abhors gush. The girl who
enjoys herself thoroughly, and is not
afraid to show her enjoyment, always
wins more admirers than the languid
beauty who is forever bored"
He likes a spice of coquetry in a
woman, but he does not like the alb
solute fiirt. He may pursue her. but it
is for amusement, not from admiration.
He is afraid of the woman who
boasts of her conquests.
A man likes a woman of sympathetic
feeling and affectionate nature, but he
is afraid of the intensely emotional
one. She tires and fatigues him, and
is liable to be exacting in her de-
mands or at least, he fears that she
might be. The highly emotional
woman needs to wear an armor of
costs her to do So if she would be
pleasing to man. Let her nature be
and it fascinates; let it be
and it wearies.
"A man likes a cheerful and optimistic
though he may strive with all |
his might to convert her to pessimism.
However erroneous the idea, man |
regards woman as the sunlight of life, |
and expects her to drive away malarial !
mists from his mind and shadows from |
lis heart by her warmth and light.
Men like an accomplished and bright |
ycman rather than talented one, and
qualities rather than

A man likes a womans intellect to

When great occasions demand it. At

wed places like powerful dark Ian

A man likes a neat woman, and adj

He likes trim boots. neat gloves, a
