HOW SOME GIRLS HINDER
t..--., MARRIAGE.

There are girls who absolutely
frighten men; and, roget to say,
their number Is increasing. AS a RUE,
they are of different varieties, species
and temperaments.
Some may be classed as the naughty
Indifferent type, who are cold, Gym
ical, openly profess to dislike the op-
posite sex, and who are never hap
,pier than when cutting a man, maxi
ding him look small. Then there are
the avowed man-haters; but these,
though fully conscious OF their own
superiority. are generally of the blue
stocking fraternity, manly women, in
fact, who unsex themselves by an ex-
aggerated opinion of their own clev-
erness, whereas in reality their dog
matte ways and unfeminine actions
constitute them a Dugbear and all
horrance to man. This specimen Is,
as a rule, neither initiated -Qor liked
by the majority of women; in fact,
they consider her rather outre, a sort
Of unnatural being.
Z Her direct opposite is the girl who

Such girles are husband hunters; and
their want of tact and common sense
invaribly gives the game away. They
Are, to be precise. the same to all
men; anything in the masculine sex
Is fish to their hook, and the manner
in which they go out of their way to
fascinate, attract and run after men
and show a preference for their Soc
iety Is both amusing and disgusting.
Such tactics soon reveal them
selves. A man is not slow in noticing
when girl Utterly throws herself at
his head; or bushes and simpers,
coquetting with every male she meets,
as though he were the one and the
only being she loved
The invariable result is that admir-
ers cool off, scared away by the very
pronounced preference shown for their
society, long before they themselves
have determined their own feelings
In the matter.
Then there is another and third

who tries to impress everybody with

hesself on her extravagant notions.
She need not always be of the waste
