when you that You think you're speaking
the truth. but you're just like other men-the
just the opposite of these you really do like.
All profess to admire the domesticated wOm-
when the fact of the matter is they can't bear
her. At the bottom of their hearts they know
quite well that no woman is domestic who
can be anything else and that when you find one
dining at home every night and going to bed at
10 o'clock it simply that she has failed so
completely in the struggle for popularity that
there's no to take her supper at D--'s
or SIS. The world is crowded with domesti-
Gated women. but although men may Iaud their
very convincing evidence of the genuineness OF
their admiration
Another quality men tell you they admire in
women is common Nothing. Of course
bores them quite much when they find it, and
every woman knows that be described as
really sensible is about fatal blow to her
popularity could befalI any unhappy COM
petitOr for masculine favor. Nobody understands
better than man the value of a little foolish
ness TO a woman. but it pleases him TO think he
likes sense, it pleases him to think he likes
persistent amiabilty Male contraGctoriness is
truly bewildering and makes the art of pleasing
an extremely complicated subject for women I
know you don't agree with me- Jack but you
may depend upon it. your wife will be some wise
woman who assumes the possession of lust enough
amiabitty and sense and domesticity to keep up
your cherished delusions without endanrerine her
enjoyment of life"
