But perhaps one of the secrets Of
her fndefnable charm over men IL that
she understands them perfectly.
Her marriage gave her n knowledge
OF all the mental weaknesses that man
IN heir to. All his tender spots. his
manifold Inconsistencies and all those
things he simply loves and hates in a
woman.
She is obdurate when another wo-
man would satiate. She Is cajoling and
sweet when others would be dignified
