EMOTION SPELLS
ALL TO SOME
Few Healthy, Normal Women
Who Do Not Long For
Admiration
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

1 wonder if there ever was a nor
NAL. healthy woman who didn't long
for masculine admiration?
There are women who simply live
to be admired and courted-women
to whom emotion spells all of life. We
regard them as standing out from the
rest of their sex; but, as a matter of
fact, they are not so abnormal as the
sexless creatures who do not want
every woman's heritage-the love of
man.
The normal, feminine woman is di-
vided into three classes in regard to
the methods she chooses to win mas
culine favor. First. there is the woman
VINO seeks to conquer by indifference.
she assumes an air of aloofness and
OF being haughtily unobtainable and
thinks thereby to make herself all the
more desirable.
Next, there is the woman who as
sumes the attitude of mental comrade-
snip. sometimes she goes so far as to
pose as being good fellow and
good pal-nothing else. But for the
most part she contents herself with
having men feel that she likes, under
iilpttlulZGS WlIn aDpfe-
ciateS them. She emphasizes the fact
that she is friend and either mimi
mlZeS or ignores the sex appeal.
Ihe third type of woman frankly
ana openly relies on the lure of her
lemlninity to attract the masculine.
she makes her voice as caressing and
sweet as possible; she docks up CO.
quetushly from under lowered lids;
she emphasizes in every way that she
is woman and a woman to be de-
sired.
The really popular girl" is not
memb Der of any one of these classes
she combines the attributes of all of
them very judiciously.
she manages to be just Indifferent
enough so that men shall not feel she
Is pursuing them, and therefore think
tneN must run away. She remembers
thaI men are immemorial hunters
ana that you must let them think
they have driven unwilling game from
thicket covert. And if the game is
really stalking the hunter she is clever
enough to disguise it.
The woman of charm knows how
to be friend and companion when that
is what man wants. She lets him be
silent If silence will rest his tired
nerves. She leads him on through a
SHOW of sympathy to confiding his
affairs.
The first two rules of woman of
charm are never run after a man
and never tire him.
And then there comes the danger
Gus cruX of all affairs between men
and women. Nature designed sex
attraction deliberately. 1t is neither
thing to be run away from shame
facedly nor a thing to flaunt brazenly.
The woman who caters to the emo
tlonal in mans nature unreservedly
tires him.
Hearts of lettuce with Russian
dressing may be delicious. but who
wants to make meal of them? But
who would think of hearts of lettuce
particularly alluring if everybody in
the world could have them all the
time?
The girl who deliberately sets about
making an emotional appeal to all
men disgusts all the fine men who
see her practicing her little tricks.
And the girl who tries to reach the
man she cares for only on the side of
his emotional nature must bore him
sooner or later.
The woman who is frank in her
desire to appeal to decent men de-
Gently never forgets that they are all
big boys who like to have their toys
changed now and then and who are
interested in their own work and
grateful for kindness and under
standing. Add to this knowledge of
men little knowledge of nature, who
is herself the sponsor for magnetic
attraction between the masculine and
the feminine, and there is no reason
in the world why any woman who has
brains and has not a hare-lip, q squint
and a hump between her shoulders
should not successfully carry out ma
lures purpose and her own.
