long ago wives and clever maidens
made this discovery and forthwith set
oct 10 discover the particular type Of
charm that was landing the big catches.
according 10 the intelligence and
temperament OF each were the deduc-
tions made.
The charm was attributed variously
70 the good figures and the good style
n the winning types: 10 their mag
netic personalities: 20 an abandon
mcnf Of cOuventionalities: 70 an under
standing Of the weaknesses Of men and
catering 10 them-these and many
other reasons were given for the ex
isting conditions
II is perfectly true that the captors
did not always become brides. but they
prevented other women from wedding,
which condition - about as hopeless as
y the man IN the case were q benedict
since he dare not marry, even II he
wants 20.
Now this condition OF affairs has
led 10 some rather weird department
on the part OF some smart maids and
T1atrons. who have reasoned 70 wrong
conclusions.
Having noted that many favorites Of
men smoke and drink and swear and
turesquely-they have adopted the
supposed indices OF good Fellowship,
with all the hazYlatmOsphere that CUR
rounds women OF bent and punctured
reputation
OF course there have always been
foolish virgins. and there always will
be-untu mothers grow wise enough

men and women-their weaknesses and

developing daughters. and explain 10
them the qualities that really do ap-
peal 70 men worth the winning.
knowing personally some Of the girls
who do these foolish things in the be
lief that they are winning the regard
of men-snd who have cultivated a
wOndrous capacity for wine and high
balls and doped cigarettes, say.
Don't"
The man for whose edihcatlon you do
these things isn't worth the winning,
granted that you could win him By the
high-baU route. Having annexed you, a
man Of that type would soon find il neces-
ssry 70 drink 70 the light Of new pair Of
eyes, and the smile Of other lips.
N would be but another case for the
matrimonial coroner. and IT isn't worth
while.
Mind you. this sportive exterior Of
these misguided maids is not necessarily
an evidence Of immortality.
II is simply pose.
A case in point occurred some months
ago when an Eastern man was guest at
z smart dinner at the Palace. Meeting
him the day after the affair, he asked me
II ] knew Miss.
Yes. Of course; she's a member Of the
GreenWay and Assembly dancing clubs,
and of mighty nice family. Why?''-
calling Up the roseate possibilities of
crush wooing, and a wedding.
Well. frankly, I'll tell you why said
he. She possesses all the evidences of a
woman Of the night life. She could east
~ have put me under the table She
smoked as many cigarettes as did, and
told tales thst-somehow-gav me a lit
tie Jolt. and I'm no Dowie-that s-never-
been kissed"
While taking his measure as a cad Cbut
there surely were extenuaung circum-
stances) I assured him that It was all
a pose-a mere bluff Of the little girls
under the impression that such per-
formances were smart and supposedly in
teresting, and that she had probably
punished herself 10 appear sophisticated
for his special entertainment.
] know that little goose was posing.
that she was creating for herself a..
atmosphere in which she didn't live, and
that she was posing for purpose. She
was little Ounce who had reasoned
from false premises. and, OF course.
came TO worng conclusions.
But what OF the woman who, know
ing the law. pursues the same tactics?
Girls, IL you only knew what the men
said Of you, even though they may ap-
plaud you, you wouldn't do it-for the
cad aboundeth where you least expect
70 find him. to publish your foolish little
escapades 10 the world. And they will
only net you sorrow
In short, It doesn't pay. physically or
spiritually.
