LA BELLE DAME SANS -
The Washington times., 1919-03-01

A DAY or two ago wrote a
"A few generalities on: "The
Girl Who Does Not At
tract Men," which has prompted a
good many women to berate me as
a hopeless amateur, when it comes
to this delicate question.
And am free to admit that
these ladies who pose as Deliliahs
have a much lower opinion of-the
now gentler sex-that I have.
Curiously enough 1 have always
found men to be excellent friends
with a refreshing sense Of intsg-
rity and obligation. / have not
found them to be the greedy, self
seeking lot that a number Of my
correspondents insist they are.
The only way in which / can ac-
count for the disparity Of opinion
is that l have taken certain stand
ards for granted, and their bit
terest critics have not. 1t is onlv
one more illustration of getting
what you expect, and if a woman
is convinced that a man seeks her
friendship for entirely selfish rea-
sons, she is not apt to see the best
side of that man.
All Enjoy Good Cheer.
It is perfectly true that men en-
Joy chatting dish festivities, but
don't girls enjoy them equally?
And please let me confess that l
never mixed up one of those con-
gIomerations that l didn't eat my
share as we'll as my victim who
probably took his life in his own
hands in doing so.
Then there is another school of
lady grouches who maintain the
only way to hold zone of these
conscienceless creatures" is to let
him make love with no thought of
the responsibility involved. To
which I am going to reply, anyone
will pick up a scarf pin he finds
lying in the street, but he does not
make sure of its value until it has
been tested. So many girls con-
vey the impression of a frantic de-
sire to be picked up," that they
are passed by as not worth while,
when in reality they are quite 1s-
carat. But let these lady pessi-
mists speak for themselves.

much unlimited company. At tines
q caller has found as many aS three
young men visiting me, reading
aloud, or discussing the merits Of
Government oWnership Of the RAIL-
roads, or giving the reasons for the
fall Of Port Arthur, or explaining
how It all happened that johnson
defeated Jeffries at Reno, etc, etc.
At the same time, my women ae-
quaintances began to sit up and
take notice. They began to see that
by spending some time at my warm,
cory quarters, they stood q chance
to meet some men, interesting
men," as they said. .Thereupon,
though heretofore had never been
liked by young women, began to
be very much sought after.
She Could Have Been 4 Power.
One army officer said to me, III
you had the money to maintain
such an establishment as would give
you a position in society in this
city, you could become a very power
ful woman in the political and So
cial life OF Washington He made
the mistake OF attributing to my
personality what I knew belonged
merely to the atmosphere I had
created around me.
And one Of my girl friends said
'T like men, but they don't like rue;
now there is something about you
that draws men"
I did not reply, but I thought to
myself: yes, there IS something
