An experienced woman writer in a
Sunday paper thus characterizes her
sex: There is very homely old
saying to the effect that there are
more ways of killing a dog besides
hanging him. There are many ways
of inducing the man you love, and
who loves you. to go your way.
Many also are the ways to avoid. Let
me tell you some of them; Tears are
only makeshift; to some men they
are reproach; to others maddening.
And man doesn't like to be re-
preached, or to have his temper
aroused. Pointing is a delight to the
man who knows he can coax the pret-
ty pouting lips to smiles and kisses.

unalterable fact remains that you have

for you to do: Keep your own indi-
yiduality and enter into his. Try TO
look at his aims, his ambitions, his
enjoyments, just as he does. You
can. The one compensation bestowed
by an all-wise Creator upon woman.
