The Man Women Like.
All men desire to please women, and
most of them succeed, because, so far
as men are concerned, women are easy
70 please, as the marriage statistics
show. Still, it is hard to say just what
qualities the gentler sex finds most at
fractiYe in the other. for there are many
women of many kinds. and each woman
has a different mind about man.
OF course. it is the conventional thing to
say that what woman admires most in
man is truth, honor and virtue. but no
woman ever really fell in love with a man
because he was good any more than a
man ever loved a woman for being do
nestle. We both marry for these quail
ties, just as we buy hOmespun instead of
silk, because it will stand the wear and
tear of life, but 1t isn't the thing that
fires our fancy.
1t is significant, though. that the thing
that man values most in woman-beaury
woman cares nothing for in man. The
excessively handsome man seldom at
tracts women, and Charlotte Bronte
knew her business when she painted
Rochester as an ill-fayored villain with
a dark scowl that only turned into sun
shine for one woman. That type of man
always has and always will be able to
make hair mattresses out of the love
locks that girls send him.
Secretly women feel that they possess
monopoly Of beauty. and they resent Il
mans infringing on their parent rights.
beside, handsome man alays expects
10 nave bouquets thrown at him. and in
the game of love it is much more agree
able to be the catcher than the pitcher.
When Titiania fell in love with the
creature with the head of beast it was
nor as crazy thing as the poet would
nave Us believe. The ass was not such a
donkey as he looked. AS they sat upoD
the howery bank he sang her charms
instead of posing, so she was bound 10
notice and comment on his Kyrle Bellew
PRONE. It was an agreeable and fasci-
mating arrangement that no woman could
resist. '''N
On the other hand. while women care
little for mere regularity of feature i'm
man, they lay great stress upon his
clothes. Trousers that hitch ND in the
legs, coat sleeves that fail to make con-
nection with the cuffs, a decolletc collar
oulIt Tor exposing the wearer's Adams
apple, nave been the death blow to many
a romance, while the love that can sur
1viye three days stubble of dirty beard
Is founqad on the rock of ages
=. II IS true that good eGs2ett M cover n
wretch, while a shabby one encloses a
illoueI OF all the virtues, but alas! so illy
10 -, me Ieillhlne heart constructed it is
more APT TO fall in love with gentle
manly looking villain than it is with =
back number SAINT.
In conversation women like men who
cultivate happy medium between 5hn
1InIohoIoSue artist and the taciturn oyster.
Few men do this. Most men either take
the floor and glibly narangue the unfor.
tunate female upon whom fbev ore an
ING about their business, their golf rec
CORDS, their former mashes or else they
SIT as silent as the Sphinx. while the poor
girl labors like coal HEAVIER TO keen rha
conversational bail rolling.
" omen are taught from their cradles
up that their chief end in life is to give
the glad hand TO man and act as an an
plauGing chorus while he talks about fba
things that interest him, but there is moth
ing that woman likes as much as q lit
tie reciprocity along this line They want
chance TO say Il few things about the
things that interest them.
Women also like man who knows
how to pay compliments. This doeSn'r
mean hurting hattery at them with
trOwel. Few women are vain enough to
believe the man who blurts out the bald
statement that they are a second Venus
or an updcrStudy for Minerva, bur there
Is delicate wav of ins;nuating these
things that is like Whit of incense and
one. The most subtle comnIi-
ment OF all, however, and one that.
strangely enough, very few men ever
think of paying woman, is to affect to
be interested III her views of life and TO
desire to know her real thoughts. II is
here that ciergymen make their winning.
Other men flatter woman for her looks
or her vivacity. The parson talks to her
about serious things. and the compliment
Is so unusual ii goes to her head.
W omen like bold men, but they hate
the man who acts as if he was Il good
thing that every woman was trying TO
get. Many Il man loses the sweetheart
he Is counting because he lacked the cour-
age to ask for what he wanted and bluff
her when she put him off. and many an
other one is refused because he looked so
certain the girl would jump at him she
couldn't resist the pleasure Of calling
him down.
Women like generous men. but they
have a contempt for the chump who
spends more than he can afford upon
them. No man ever really bought n
woman'S love. Every girl has what she
calls candy beauX and theGter beaux. but
she seldom marlies them. The man whc
would curry favor with a woman by
gifts should study her tastes. \ woman
would rather have a bunch Of field fow
ers if it represented some word of hers
~ commemOrated some anniversary than
q ten-d0liar bunch Of American Beauties
that had no personal significance.
Women like strong men. There is
something elemental and primitive in ev-
cry wOman's nature that responds 10
physical strength in man. and while |
many women marry weakings there is al /
ways an undercurrent of pity and con |
tempt mixed with their love.
Women also like a masterful man, and /
really enjoy although they won't admit I
Il. being bosSed 1t is 50 nice and com /
iorta bic 10 have someone who will take /
all the responsibility and Who can be /
