WHAT WOMEN LIKE.

Marriage is often a failure because
men and women do not understand
each other. Here are some things
which please a woman:
To be called sensible.
TO be complimented on being well
dressed.
TO be told that she is fascinating.
To be told that she improves man
by her companiOnship.
To depend on some man and pretend
she is ruling him.
TO be treated sensibly and honestly
and not as a butterfly. with no head
or heart.
To be loved and admired by a man
who is strong enough TO rule and sub
due her and make his way her way.
To find happiness in being ruled by
an intellect that she can look up TO ad-
mirinRly and one TO whom her own
mind bows in reverence.
A man is pleased
TO have a woman love him. To have
a soft. gentle. magnetic hand alleviate
the pain of an aching head.
To have a woman's hand smooth
away the careworn expression and
wrinkles from his brow. TO have wo-
mans strength to help him over the
weak places in life.
To have n woman lead him In the
way he wants TO go.
To have a woman sometimes treat

THE GIRL WHO FlIRTS.
New York.

That all girls do not act alike is prov
ed by the fact that many indulge in
flirting as a pastime while others nat
urally look upon 1t as the next step TO
marriage. says a matron who has chap
eroned many young girls. The flirts
enjoy nothing better than masculine
attention, but marry they will not.
Girls of this type do not dislike young
men, neither do they think unkindly OF
them, but they simply take a delight in
making slaves and worshipers of men
as long as they can. They iceland in
fact know-that they can do what they
like with men before marriage. and il
is this knowledge which keeps them
single.
Being opposed to marriage on the
ground that IL would deprive them of
the pleasures and privileges of univer-
sal homage. they do not allow their
