MEN THE GIRLS LOVE
Not the Butterfly Kind Says A
New York Woman of
Experience.


material qualities contributing to
life's success are not those in
highest favor with mothers and
daughters.
The young fellow Of chronic gayety
is generally preferred to another
who mingIes gravity with occasional
effervescence. The latter finds it as
difficult gracefully to pay an unde-
served compliment as to pay the
national debt. and his abstinence
from such exercise is construed into
absence of appreciation of the girl
self-estimated excellence, instead of
his presence on higher plane Of nice
discernment.
Condemned By Prudence
1t young man is suspected of
being reasonably prudent in none
tary expenditure, he is utterly con-
demned. Many young women do
not consider any outlay in their be-
half as an extravaganza, but merely
a deserved tribute to their, charms.
A masculine writer has just come to
cynical conclusion stated 3above.
His remarks were shown to Mrs.
John Francis Yawger, onei of the
hest known of New York club women
and the mother of happily married
daughter. Mrs. Yawger's own mar
riage is ideal.
The Leading Characteristic
1 should sum up as follows the
leading characteristics of the young
man most popular with. the women
of the present." Mrs. Yawger said:
First Trustworthiness. -
Second "A spirit of toleranoeu
Third Economic Independence
"Fourth-A sense of humor.
"Fifth-Savoir faire.
"Sixth7-The absence of an eAag-
gerated ego.
Laughs at Butterfly Man
whoever that writer is, he talks
perfect nonsense when he says it is
the butterfly man who pleases the
modern girl. Why she laughs at
him. She. never thinks of taking
him or his proposals seriously. She
DOESN'T generally even bother to
despise him. any more than she'd
waste her time and energy despis-
ing real butterfly or a drone in
the hive" s
"A man may joke as much as he
pleases, but when he promises to do
a thing he must keep his word
though the heavens fall. He may
be the best playfellow in the world.
but he must not play all the time,
and when he works he should show
energy. initiative and conscientious
ness. FL
Likes The Easy-to-eet-alone-with
Kind
Then, every girl likes young
man who is easy to get along with.
He need not agree with her in every
thing; in fact, she probably would
find life less interesting if he did.
las for the value of a sense Of
humor in determining mans popu-
larity. need hardly expatiate on
the value Of that characteristic.
Hum # is lubricant of life, that
makes all the wheels go smoothly.
Don't Care for Empty Compliments
THE modern woman expects from
her favored sutton a certain know
Iege of the conventions an iniper-
vious natural courtesy. Contrary to
the worthy gentleman to whom |
am replying, do not believe that
women care for empty compliments.
But they like to have man say the
small, gracious things that are true
as we'll as polite and why shouldn't
they? 1t is deserved tribute to
their womanly charm and dignity.
Avoid The Mountain of Conceit
LAS for my last requisite. the alb
sence of an exaggerated ego, / am
thinking of certain type of young
man whom | fancy our friend of the
pungent paragraph may resemble.
He is one vast, walking mountain OF
conceit. He is serious yes unthink-
ably, grotesquely serious. Why. he
even takes himself seriously! He is
all ego and he cannot see over the
rim. Of course, he is hurt and puz'
zled if every girl does not fall down
and worship him. Equally. of course
it would be crime if she did"
