he wise he Will administer idrSe QOSeS.
The more devotedly she loves, the larg-
er should be the dose. He would do
we'll also to convert himself into a
chronic kissing bee.
Then there is the pretty woman with
a storehouse of good qualities, which
unfortunately has capacious annex
for her varied assortment of aggravat-
inely bad spells of temper. These she
exhibits conscientiously at the most in
opportune moment.
IF there is ever time when she is eX-
pected to be on her best behavior it is
then that the exhibition is sure to be
most sIurid.s Now, if the man allows
himself to become angry also it will
take Il good, long pull at the pipe Of
peace to clear the domestic atmosphere.
Such a woman is often mortally
ashamed of having made such a dis
play of herself, and the man who, by a
cool dispassionate explanation, can
make her feel still more ashamed
scores victory undoubtedly.
Then there is the pretty woman who
is Jealous and suspicious. The unskill-
flu, man who tries to manage such u
one might as we'll festoon a halter
around his neck and swing himself into
another and happier land. He will
have no peace here until he scores
victory so complete and conclusive as
| to preclude all possibility of future en-
| counters. In such instances a large
| and wholesome application of fiattery
often has a telling effect. Assure her,
and reassure her all over again, that
she is the loveliest, the dearest, the best
| and, in fact, the only woman, who ever
really captured your hayward fancy.
If you do this convincingly, if you
satisfy her that you have not told the
same old story with slight VIBRATIONS
to Jcmima, Jerusha and Johanna a
dozen times, you are likely to win the
| contest.
Then there is the pretty woman who
never knows what she really wants,
who seems to want everything she sees,
besides many things she does not see,
and elects to feel terribly injured be-
cause she cannot have all that other
women have. This woman pouts and
sulks accordingly. Firmness will often
| take the nonsense out of her head. Say
what you decidedly mean in as few
| words as possible, and deliver your
| message with the sharp incisiveness of
a rifle shot; then let her sulk it out.
While this is going on you should be
invulnerable to all hints and re-
| proaches hurled at your defenseless
head. If the man will only observe a
sphinX-like silence the woman will soon
| confess defeat.
A woman who really loves a man,
whether she be pretty or not, is likely
to be managed easily through her love.
A facile tongue and caressing manner
will easily subside her. Her fortune,
even, may be literally kissed away
from her. Sometimes such woman
may most easily be managed by indif-
ference than by any assertion of au-
thority. But, of course, Indifference
should not be carried to such an ex-
IRENE as to cause her spirit to revolt.
If her pride is once really hurt it will
rebel, and the mans battle is lost.
All in all, the following brief para
graphs may be of value to him who
would manage a pretty woman:
Never let her know that she is being
managed.
Never hurt her pride.
Never ridicule her hysterical out
bursts. because, Notwithstanding her
aggravating exhibitions, she really suf-
fers.
Never rhapsodiZe over another wom-
ans charms, unless dynamite has no
terror for you.
