Men would have great deal more

Now. II girls had the matter in their
own hands they would manage very
differently. To begin with. they would
never play the bashful lover. There is
nothing less calculated to make a girl
say yes to the important question
than the wooing of lover who Is shy.
She despises a man who can't have
courage enough to ask her boldly. and
when he stammers and hesitates over
1t. instead of walking ZIP boldly to the
