THINGS IiE HATES.

Here are some of the things a man
dislikes most
He hate, highly roughed cheeks. II is
not the sin OF putting on the color. but
the sin of putting it on so badly that
you are found out that CRATES on him.
He hates a loud-voieed woman. In
fact, he hates anything about a woman
which attracts public attention. IL is
not the strikingly sowned. but the be-
comingly gOwned woman who appeals
TO him Striking fashions and loud
" ays are never becoming. because they
throw the woman herself into the shade.
He hates the woman who whines. A
hypochoncrlac who forever reeites ner
suiferings for his benefit would drive
the best OF men 10 the devil-or the
club
He hates draggled skirts and muddy
shoes.
He hates a woman who will spend her
time trying TO convince him that he Is
wrOng-and who can do it.
He hates a woman who knows and
sees too much.
He hates a woman who says mean
things about other women. lie never
can be persuaded that anything but IN
derhanded meanness and jealousy nave
prompted her 10 do this.
He hates a woman whc Keeps Dlnl
waiting. lie expects his wife 70 wait az
home for him all day, but he chaIes IL
he has TO wait for her i've minutes WhlS
she Is dressing.
He hates woman who does not make
II apparent that she appreciates all hls
good Qualities-and most Of his BAD
ones.
He hates TO be found out.
He hates a house where the furniture
| is too handsome TO be sat upon and the
chairs too good 10 hold his feet
he hates excitement at the dining
table.
| He hates the person who tries TO read
| the newspaper before he gets II IN the
mOrning-especially II she is his wife.
| he hates a woman who has pollticdl
/ views and no particular religion.
He hates nice. refined little girl who
/ tries to be smart and Bohemian by tax
/ ing cocktails and choking over cigar
( cites
| lie hates the new DirectOire hats.
| He hates all abnormalities Ike huge
pOmpadOurs, bustles. hoop-skirts, bal

] But he loves the woman who is coldest
