MANAGING A MAN.
How Any Woman Can Make Herself
an Adept In This Line by Lit
tie STUDY.

II any poor little soul who feels her
hold slipping from about the heart OF
the man she loves desires a recipe for
bringing him back to her. let her set
the family cat upon the heartnstone
and study him. When she has at
tanned a scientific knowledge of his
likes and dislikes, his habits and idi-
osyncrasies, his faults and his vir-
tues, she will have acquired the SUBJ
tie art of managing a man.
A cat is not really wicked animal.
He is lovable in way. But he has n
complex nature quite different from
that of the simple dog. whose affec.
tions are written in his eyes. A dog
needs only to be loved. A cat must be
very deftly handled.
Most women make the mistake of
approaching a man as they would a
dog. Before marriage they let him trot
at their heels, carry their packages
and sit at their feet.
After marriage they smother him
with caresses and cling about his neck
in a manner that would send the best
natured cat in the world scudding
away to freedom.
IL Is the woman herself who pos
sesses the dog nature-long suffering
devoted and enduring. Possibly that
is why she cannot understand the mas
culine cat. A dog loves his master; q
cat loves his home. woman loves
her lover; a man loves the society Of
the woman who makes him most com
Portable.
The strongest masculine love that
the world has ever known has not
been able to endure the strain of
burned chops and curtain lectures,
while the vainest and weakest wo-
men living will often stand up in the
police court and fight for the freedom
OF the man who has been arrested for
beating her. II requires a sixth sense

to understand each other.
man, like cat, may be coaxed;
he cannot be bullied. The girl who at.
tempts to attract a man by pursuing
him with those obvious feminine at
tentions such as making love to his
sister and inviting him to call when
he has not thought of coming is, in
vulgar parlance, "flinging herself at
his head"
She is trying to charm him as he
would try to charm cat by catching

bing it's fur the wrong way or by fling.
ing it a bone as she would fling
bootjack. The man. like the perse-
cuted cat, is aware that something is
about to descend upon him and he
runs.
1t Is that subtle woman who looks
the other way while she bangles g
ribbon who attracts the most attcn-
tion from cat or man. The woman
who can wear a picture hat without
apparent purpose, the woman who
makes the most Of her own charms
but does not flaunt them-she is OF
the subtle class. A cat will always
run after a ball Of bright worsted,
provided It is not flung at him.-Kato
