Just between ourselves, girls, let's
confess it's true. What's truo2
You're right-it's best ~ got the sub
Ject ere we indulge the chat. Wei,
this is the way another writer--a real
~ clever one-states the existing case:
NO matter how moder . woman
may he, how advanced. how tanned,
so TO speak. she still stands theoretic-
ally on tiptde, waiting all her life for
one Man who shall come a-riding by
the Hearts highway. with the little
love God perched on N shoulder and
a wedding ring in his saddlebags.'
That's pretty English and pretty
true. OF course we deny for the bene-
fit Of attentive and indulgent man
kind, that we even consider matri-
mony, even vaguely. Q, dear, no.

let's acknowledge the undcniablo ir-
r%osistable, cocltsure existence, past,

But how are YOU going TO know him
It's one of the things uneXplainable-
even Solomon didn't know, and re-
marked that the way of p man with
a maid was one of the mysteries OF
earth and sea and sky. IL the wise
man couldn't solve the ..rohlem. then,
we lesser mortals had better pass II
up. The one Man will know h one
Woman when he sees her and will
lain his own, and the two of them
will understand and that's all that lie

a man Of whose nature II general
tastes you would know more2 II you
would receive a flash of knowledge,

character test by leaving the ordering

his divinity and knows a dear little
corner where they two can have a bit
to eat, and more than a bit of talk
When He takes you out to dine watch

derstanding and is too evidently trying
to impress YOU with his lavish gener-
osity; and as. the way Of all things
much exploited, it tires and speaks OF
the contrary undercurrent.
Suppose he begs for your prefer

YOU; then do you smile, and OTTER no
announcement, neither in the order

display that same indecision In the
affairs OF life.
