ALL FIND THEIR ADMIRERS
Like Does Not Always Cling to Like
In the Matrimonial Relations
Between tho Sexes.

Men like all kinds Of women, says
Robert Hichens in the Strand Maya
zine. There are ugly men who adore
beautiful women, but there are also
handsome men who worship at the
shrines of women who are quite un-
like Helen of Troy. Many good men
have loved, and will love, bad wom-
en-. Who has not seen bad men de-
voted to sanity women? On the
other hand, the dwarf is often capti-
waited by the large-fremed woman
whose head approaches the ceiling.
I have known deaf women beloved
by laxative men; lame women cher
ished by men who are agile; stupid
women thought sensible, or even
clever, by men who were brilliant ;
affected women solemnly admired by
the most natural of men; girls who
turned the heads Of grandfathers,
and old women who lured mere boys
to their feet.
Effeminate men often seek "man-
ly" women, while the delicate wom-
an who never leaves the sofa at
tracts the nimrod and hunter of big
game. The man who does not know
God Save the King" when he hears
it, as often as not mar1.ies the woman
who is 'mad about Wagner" and
the man who never goes to church
chooses as his helpm ate the devout
woman who visits district" and
teaches in Sunday school. All kinds
of women are liked--nay, more, are
loved by men. Why mot? For where
is the man who cannot find one
woman-if not two--to think him
what he probably thinks himself, the
most perfect man in the world
until the honeymoon is waningp
