13 Roads To A Mans Heart.


A CORRESPONDENT asks if can suggest an
equal number Of ways by which woman
can win the love of a man.
1t is, of course, easier for man to win
woman's affection than it is for woman to
win a mans, because woman's heart IS
built on the plan of warehouse that is all
doors, and open on every side, whereas
mans heart is boiler plate, chilled steel
safe deposit vault. Nevertheless there are
ways of breaking into it, and woman may
win a mans love.
L. By her looks. Every man thinks he
marries for beauty This is mistake, but
the first thing man ever notices about a
woman is whether she is pretty or not, and
inasmuch as bird has to attract the atten-
tlon of the hunter before he tries to bag it,
1T behOOves every woman to be as good look
ing as nature and circumstances permit.
Let not this discourage the homely, howev-
er. Beauty, we know, is in the eye of the
beholder, and wheu it come to Judging wo-
men most men are blessed with astigma-
tism.
2. By DRESS Men enjoy berating women
for their folly in dress, but they adore be-
ing seen out with one who looks like liv-
ing fashion plate. A womans dress how
ever must be exceedingly tactful. 1T must
be becoming, appropriate, smart; but 1T
should never suggest extravaganza, or set
man to wondering if he would have to
work overtime to support so many fiuffs
and frills.
3. By studying the man she wi.hes to
win. All men are to be caught with the
same bait no more than are all fish. There
are some men who must be angled for with
domesticity, others with intellectually.
Some men prefer occurrences in awomen,
while others are taken with coquetry, and
one of the most important things that the
woman who is trying to land a man can find
out what sort of fly to throw.
4. By being always Sally on the spot.
Propinquity is Cupid's understudy. Most
men are too lazy and too busy to go on a
romantic quest in search of a lady love anu
when thea marry it is generally the girls
who are handiest who get them. If a wo-
man wishes a man to remember her she
must always keep herself in view. Other
wise she is liable to be forgotten.
5. By entering into a mans interests.
This makes him single her out from the
balance OF her sex as a woman OF lntelll-
gence and discrimination.
6. By being womanly and tender
man may be amused by the cynical woman
but he never loves her. He never kisses
the woman who never weeps
Z. By mrking him comfortable when he
comes to see her. The woman who knows
how to stay him with cold drinks in summer
and warm ones in winter, and fix his chair
where the light shines just right, always
turns mans thoughts to matrimony.
8. By listening to him. The sweetest
sound that any man ever hears is that OF
his own voice, and when man finds WO-
man who will listen to the story of his life
he years to secure her for permanent
audience.
9. Bv being intelligent. but not too intel
lgent. The clever woman never lets man
find out how much she really knows.
10. By being dependent and clinging but
not too clinglng. She should cling just
enough to make the man feel that she is a
poor, weak, frail creature, and that he is
about nine feet high and with the decision
of character of Napoleon, but she must
know the psychological point when to let go
so that he shal! not feel that she is a bur-
den.
H. By being willing, but not over
anxious. She must indicate that she fell
in love with him at sight, but she must not
throw herself at his. In other words,
while she shows she is glad to be captured
by him, she must give him run for his
money.
r. By devotion. No man can resist the
thought that a woman is breaking her heart
for him.
13. By flattery. In the liberal use of
this lies all the law and the prophets. The
