Do Not Demand TOO Much.

There Is one type of girl who will never be very popular with the men, and that is the girl who demands too much.
 She Is never satisfied unless the man is displaying his devotion for the bene- fit of all who may care to see.
 She expects him to be always at her beck and call, to have no other object in life than the gratifying or her whims.
 She makes not the slightest conces- sion to other claims.
 His duty toward her must superseoe that toward his family.
 Business Is a secondary considera- tion. She must be first and foremost in everything
 Her mental attitude is. If he wants mo he must work for me-
 That is all very well. except that no man cares to work with no encourage ment.
 Love cannot thrive on a steady diet of selfshness and unreasonable de- mands.
 This type of girl is never happy un- less the man Is spending money on her.
 In fact, she only values his attention In proportion to the amount he speds.
 It makes no difference to her that he may be spending more than hc can af- ford.
 With open hands she Is ready to take, take, take, closing her eyes to the growing pile of debts behind him, which may toppie on him at any min ute.
 He doesn't dare stop. for he knows that when the gifts and treats cease, her interest will instantly do likewise.
 Fortunately in most cases the lovers s eyes are eventually opened to his lady loves selfishness, but until they are he goes on blindly worshiping his idol. whose feet are indeed of clay. If he is unfortunate enough to marry | before he discovers her faults. he reaps the benefit of his shortsightedness in a life of misery. his entire life spent in the service of a selfish. unloving wo- man.
 No girl with a proper sense of the fitness of things will allow young man to spend a lot of money on her. When she does so she places herself | under a great obligation to him, one | which she cannot return. An occasional gift of candy. flowers or books, a visit to the theatre, etc. is all very well, but 1t is the constant I repetition of these things which causes drain on the limited income. Many a young man has been driven into debt and dishonesty simply because he tried to keep up with some girls demands. The average young man has to work for a comparatively small salary. | His day Is long,, and if he does his work well he cannot afford late hours He becomes interested in girl and naturally wishes to spend as much time in her society as possible.
 It is in her power to encourage him to do the right thing or to urge him to do wrong.
 If her interest in him is sincere, she will use her influence to help him to- ward success
 | Success means sensible hours inter est in his work. and saving money.
 All this tho girl can help him toward by not insisting on his spending toe much time or money on her. l Remember. girls. that this Is not q criticism of girls in general; 1t merely deals with a type
 Not a very attractive type. perhaps but still one which we often see, and In whose tolls many a young man has been caught fast. ......~. Don't be impatient with this discus sion of types" for sooner or later we are coming to the right" type | For there IS a golden girl whom we all know and love, and happily she Is the commonest type of all-the every day, lovable, attractive girl, bless her who knows how to do the right thing and when to do 1t. E, T. ~.%.. .... -. She Is the girl whom men and wo- men alike love and understand.
