who cannot keep a secret.
Ever since Adam and Eve left
the garden, man has deluded
himself with the idea that there
is something mysterious about
woman. Consequently it is up to
the clever woman to flatter his
vanity by making him think he Is
right!
Don't you like a close wom-
an?" asked a man of me the
other day.
what do you mean by close
woman " l asked in return.
"Why, a woman who keeps her
counsel, who does not burden you
with her worries, and, above all
who does not evince a great cur
iosity about your affairs"

woman" he continued, "who did
not seem at all curious-who was
perfectly willing that our friend
ship should be concern between
her and me alone.
"She never inquired into my
affairs with others although she
was always Interested in anything
that might tell her. In all the
years l knew her intimately !
never knew her to say an unkind
thing about any one else. And,
although she was the frankest
person that l have ever known,
she kept her own affairs to her.
self, unless l drew them out of
her with much eoaxing.
"She was a brave woman and,
because of it, she was often mis-
understood, as people sometimes
looked for hidden motives when
there were none. She did not
give her friendship easily, but,
when she did, you may be sure
that it was for always. She was
the truest friend that have ever
had"
l am quite sure that this man
described the kind of a woman
men like. Men hate winners and
great takers. They want to do
most of the talking themselves.
