MISTAKES
MADE BY
WOMEN

70 greater mistake can be made
M with men than for a woman to
L y boast Of her success in winning
hearts and proposals. 1t seems impos-
sible that q woman possessed of one
ray of common sense or a particle Of
breeding could do such a thing; yet it
is not unusual to hear a young woman
relating her conqUests to a group Of
admirers. and laughing over the sus-
cepubility Of mankind. Though they
may laugh with her they are sure TO
laugh about ner among themselves
when her back is tu-naz-
1t is always a mistake for a woman
TO be led into lowering her ideals be-
cause some man she loves and admires
urges her to step down. He invariably
curses her if she does, while if she
turns and passes above him she hears
his benediction, and eight times out Of
ten he follows her
tt is always a mistake for young
woman TO talk TO a man as if she were
blase ard widely experienced in all hui
man emotions, frailties and faults
Many innocent and Inexperienced girls
adopt this manner, thinking IL viii rem
der them fascinating in the eyes Of
men.
Men are not analytic or deep minded
enough in regard tC our sex to. realize
that a girl who has drunk too deeply
of the waters of knowledge does not
talk Of IL. Men take us for what we
seem, not for what we are. The most
hardened mondaine who wears 4 mask
of frank innocence fares better with
them than the good, sweet hearted girl
who puts on blase airs. and pretends to
be a little wicked. Men judge by ap-
Trra- r
Except I'M cases where women are
rivals, they are less liable to condemn
one another for q slight lapse Of speech
or conduct than men are to condemn us.
Another mistake which women some
times make is to ask any favor Of
man which viii put him to the least
expense. No matter how pressing are
the circumstances she should never
take the liberty unless he is near
relative in the various circles of
American society where it is the Gus
tom of young men to escort young
women to theaters and other places of
entertainment, TT is q mistake for
young women to voluntarily expatiate
upon her fondness for the theater or
the concert in his presence
It is a mistake for a young woman
to correct or scold her parents in the
presence Of men, imagining they will
admire her culture and courage or
imagining that they will not notice it.

one of our noted seashore resorts was
severely criticised and condemned by q
group Of men because one of them had
heard her speak unkindly to her
mother.
1t is a mistake for woman Cwife.
mother, sister or sweethearD to make
plans for the disposal of all a mans
spare hours and then expect him to en-
joy himself
Mustn't Try to Pr-ve knowledge.
Tt is a mistake for woman to try to
prove to men her great knowledge and
superior intellect They enjoy an in
tellectual woman when they discover
her brightness themselves, but they do
not like to have her force her brains
and learning upon them.
But it is just as great a mistake to
assume an air of insipidity and expect
a man TO think it charming. Men are
eXacting in their demands. Too much
or too little brain in a woman is
equally offensive to them
It is a mistake of a lifetime to ac-
cord a man any liberty and expect him
TO keep the matter a secret While
the exceptional man may maintain 81
lence on the actions of a young girl
whom he believes unsophisticated the
