the pursuer, and implanted In his
breast a horror OF being pursued ana
that makes it a fatal thing Tor
woman 10 take the initiative IN love
making. This is why the women VINO
wear their hearts on their sleeves
never have any man troubling 70 PICK
them off, and why women who are
openly husband hunters never bring
down their quarry.
The peach that a man Graves is Inc
one that hangs highest on the tree
not the over ripe one that is ready to
drop into his mouth. The bird that
he stalks through tireless days and
nights is the weary one that is always
on the wing, not the tame barn fowl
that is ready to come and eat out or
his hand at his first pipe. And the
woman that he wants most is the
conan who wants him least. This is
constitutional peculiarly Of man.
Thus is he built, and there is no use
in arguing with the specifications.
For this reason in the love gamble
between sexes woman's one best bet
is always being uncertain, coy, and
hard to please. Naturally she must
first piuue a mans interest in her by
her good looks, or, her charm of man
ner, or, her intelligence of converse
ton. Even the modest violet must
have astuteness enough to grow In
mans pathway so he cannot fail to
see it, If it ever hopes to adorn his
buttonhole. But having walked a man
I'D to the perception that she is easy
a. 81
to talk to, the girls next play is to lie
low and simulate indifference.
Let her make the man feel that she
regards him as merely one among
those also present, pleasant enough,
but nothing to set girl crazy.
Above all, let her make him feel
that while she is not averse to matri'
mony. il the Prince should happen
along, still she does not regard mat
trimony as the be-all of a woman's life,
and that she is not TO be had for the
asking. =
This is why a girl who knows how
to play the love game always keeps
a man guessing. She never comes out
and tells him flat footed that she
loves with the love of a dog that moth
ing he could do would drive him
On the contrary she makes him feel
that her affection for him is beauti'
full and fragile plant that must contin-
ually watch and cherish to keep alive.
Nor does she write him seven letters
to his one so that he feels that he
doesn't have to bother to answer, any
way. On the contrary, she forbears
to reply to letter occasionally, and
he telegraphs to find out why.
She can't call him up on the tele-
phone to find out why he doesn't come
to see her, and he comes on her door
stem because she has aroused his
fighting blood. He is determined to
make her presence or die In the at
TEMPT. She is in no hurry to name the
wedding day, and that makes him so
afraid of losing her that he entreats
her to elope. ',....
Undoubtedly one of the reasons why
there is falling off in marriage is
because girls are too willing. They.
are too easy to win, and worst of all, |
their fathers and mothers show Ntoo
plainly that they are eager to wish
their daughters off on somebody else
to support.
In the old days when parents had
sense to lock their daughters up in
the donion tower TO keep them from
their suitors, there we're no old maids. |
A man will risk his life climbing up |
to get the maiden that he is forbidden |
to marry, but he will break his neck
trying to get away from the girl who
is trying to marry him. +.
The eternal excuse that married
men make for the Indifference with |
which they treat their wives is that
no one chases a street car after he
has caught it. The conjugal kiss is
dust and ashes on mans lips when |
IL becomes daily custom instead of
a stolen joy. The touch of a wife's
hand brings no thrill when it has be-
come part of the household machin-
