What PIeases A Man.

Generally speaking. a man likes to be
told he is handsome, whether he is or
not He likes to be told he has small
feet This is tip for wives. There is
more virtue in a pair of tight shoes in
keeping a man at home in the evenings
than in all the Ten Commandments. 1t
pleases a man to be asked for advice.
You don't need to take 1t. Most men
have advice to give away and they are
always willing to bestow it on women
gratis. 1t pleases man for woman
to depend on him. This is the reason
why many foolish girls can get two
husbands apiece, while. strong-mnded
women remain old maids.
