Girl Scares Men Away.

The Indifferent
Girl Scares Men Away.
A great many girls have the idea that
Indifference piques Il man ana arouseS
his interest.
Now. a little indifference after his in
forest is aroused may serve as Il sauce
piquant if that interest seems to faS.
Bnr as Il forcrunner to friendship.
Irritation or love affair, indifference is Of
comparatively little value.
Occasionally you meet man who is
~o ,ublmely conceited that he expects
every woman he meets to fab at his feet
Indifference in large and copiouS doses
won't do him a bit of harm. But for the
everyday man, the man that the majority
Of Us fall in love with, indifference is
not necessary
The girl who understands men does not
find 1t necessary to treat them with in
difference. If she ever does so it is be
cause indifference on her part for the
tjmp being suits the mood of the man
to whom She is talking
When il comes to the point, Why should
Il man be interested in girl who shows
mot the slightest inclination for his So
ticty? Why should he exert himself 70
please her and show her attention when
the only return she makes him is Il dis
damfu GOODNESS!
80. girls. it stands to reason that in
difference is n poor method by which tc
arouse mans interest. When he seems
too sure of you--but that is food for
another argument, and will come later.
The amusing part of it is that half
the time the man is comfortably I'M
aware that he is being treated to dose
of Indifference. In order to feel its
sting he must care for the girl, and as
| said before, love rarely springs from
Indifference.
To use an old smile. First catch your
hare" If. having been caught. he
shows signs of wearying of his captivity,
try the wholesome tonic of a little indif-
ference
Men are driven to the theory that
chat there are lots of good fish in the
sea- aud if girl is cold and indifferent
they do not bother about her. but sim
ply turn to some one else who will prove
less difficult of wooing.
There is nothing lovable about indif
ference. 1t has no charm. no warmth.
OF course, what pleases one man will
not take at all with another man, and
there may he men to whom Indifference
Is attractive. But it is a dangerous
game, and there is always the risk Of
carrying il too far and arOusing active
dislike instead of interest.
In novels you read of blase heroes,
Satiated with woman's love and admira-
tion, being piqued by some naughty
heautyS indifference. But, my dearS.
YOU are flesh and blood women, not
naughty heroines of fiction, and the men
Won meet (thank gOodneSs9 are just
plain everyday men, not blasc, impossi-
blc paper heroes.
So, you see. it is wiser to treat them
as such.
To ,-o,,, ,,.o,,,o, ,I,- ,,-;s,lo,,, g ,an.,rJ IS,
an occasional dose of Indifference, but
don't try it as Il steady diet. The mea
are sure to tire of it and seek the girl
who receives them more cordially. Love
will not thrive in barren soil. and indif-
ference will kill the hardest plant.
Then there is another argument
against Indifference. 1t is not becOm-
ing. Animation lends beauty to any
face, and where there is Indifference
there j. seldom animation.
Not one girl in Il hundred can afford
t. be Indifferent in manner or expression.
II She is 50 she is seldom popular with
men.
You rarely find a man seeking to win
girl 5 love by indifference. lie desires
her love and his methods Of winning it
are simple and direct-and, rs rule,
successful
Il is safest to assume that the men
you meet will take more kindly to cor
diaIlty than Indifference. You can be
cordial and charming without in the
slightest degree sacrificing your pride.
Man expects to chase the firl in whom
he is interested, but he wearies if the
chase be too long. He can't 60 on in
denuItey. with no enCOura cement. And
he viii never begin the chase at all if he
bias nothing but indifference to begin on.
There are rs many ways to arouse
mans interest as there are men to be
aroused. The question is, Which way is
me most successfully Indifference seems
but Il poor way.
lis direct opposite is the method which
makes it too easy for the men.
Its humiliating to acknowledge such n
4reyous defeat in ones own sex, but the
joo1 easy girl is all too prevalent
