! But while girl is unwise and wrong
70 marry man whom She does not love,
ishe Is not necessarily right to marry a
man simply because she loves him.
MANS GREAT STRENGTH
Because this reverscs the order OF ma
lure; with man must always rest the
balance of power in love. This is his
great strength and his great weakness
/ And he must seek the object of his love;
Since ever the world began this has been
1 HE birthrigilt and his privilege.
Do YOU remember Clcopatra's answer
10 Charnion when he gave her advice
as to how to win Antonys love-+that she
must never cross him in anything?
Thou tcacheth like a fool the way to
lose him said this willy serpent of the
Mic. She knew tho difficulty Of its at

love.
This preparatory season Of wooing and
1 choosing is the only time Of woman's
absolute reign.
Coyness is a woman's best weapon.
1 says n modern writer. Give woman the
beauty to fascinatc man, and the coyness
TO teach him that in love as in fishing
the pleasure of the pursuit is the main
thing
Man is a hunting animal; he wants that
which he cannot get, and therefore the
shyer the game, the more eager will he
be in pursuit Thereof.
ENJOYS HIS SJFFERINGS.
The modern fashionable girl pretends to
be Indifferent and meanwhile thoroughly
enjoys the tortures OF patience. disap
oofntnent and anxiety of her sutton
even when SIZE likes him.
/ In one Of IIardy's novels, the humber
woman strikes her wooer in the face
with part OF a slaughtered animal, and
he is supposed 10 enjoy it
Lower down in the scale of creation,
the female animal grows dangerous in
her choice.
Darwin says that among spiders the
male is very much smaller than the fe-
male and he has to exercise great deal
of caution when he goes awooing, be
cause they are sometimes seized by the
object of affection, enyeloped in web,
and then devoured.'
Horrible, Let us take lesson from the
birds. How bewitchinsly coy-how ten
der is their wooing.
MY little friend, until he says II
love you you can say nothing; you can
only think how the birds pair. DID you
ever notice them ?-chippng sparrow in
the hedge or golddnches in the shrub!
How modestly the lady bird, by Gods
law. sit in the shade and sings her own
happy song until her mate comes to tilld
her.
DON'T LET HIM KNOW.
Be careful with your lover or you will
lose your friend; don't let him get the
idea that your one object in life Is 70
win his love.
s,,cb innocent things nowadays seem
like the passing away of old-fashioned
feminine delicacy. that You cannot be
too particular And I would have you
recollect that maiden fair is like
beautiful. rich, purple plum that hangs
high up on the tree, and should be iookeo
at with envy. He who would get II muse
climb for it; 1t must not drop into MS
open mouth.
Then in the fitness OF time, and sweet
hone when he gets that plum he will ap-
preciate It.
