DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
HOW TO WIN A WOMAN.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

Many men are strong advocates OF
the bribery theory In courtship and be-
lieve that the road to "A womau's heart
IL paved with gifts. This is n mistake.
Women like generous men. and men
who are not nigardly about %tritles, but
no woman's love Ia ever bought, Every
girl has what she calls her candy beau,
but she seldom marries him.
Ar important point lust here Is that
he who would curry favor with gifts
must give with tact, The personal ele-
ment In always tho strongest with a
woman, and she ould rather have a
flve-cent bunch Of field flowers that
represented some taste or fame. than a
$50 bunch of American beauties bought
hit o miss.
In winnig a woman b. bold. but he
not too bold. Women hate n bashful
and timld man, vet they loathe the one
who assumes he is so fascinating no
woman can resist him Many a man
has lost the wife he desired because he
didn't have the courage to non the cues
ton. and many another has been re-
fused because he had so much the air
OF comforting "A favor on the girl hy
ASKING her TO marry him that she
couldn't resist the temptation to say
no"
Three hangers there are In courtshIp.
One is that a mar will say too much,
Another IL that he will say too little,
Too glib love making argues too much
experience, Too little staryes the heart
OF a woman who is hunEerinr and
thirstinR for romance. During Courtship
is a time when a man should let 20 his
hold on veracity, for II is every wom-

CHAPTER t5s-WAo KNOWS?
In spite of Arthur Parker's man-of-
the world attitude, he was really too
attracted to Estrelda Mason not to call
upon her at once. After supper on the
evening following Estrelda's tea. the
Smithers' garden gate clicked and up
the path came the son Of the proprietor
Of Mapleville's leading department
store. 1t CHANGED hat Mr.. Smithers
was not at home. Perhaps II was as
well. He decidedly was not a man OF
the world-nor could his silences be
counted upon. There was every chance
that he would be unable TO understand
why his married daughter should have
unattached men call upon her. He
would be almost sure, indeed, TO voice
his disapproval Enthusiastically. 1t was
not altogether unlikely that Estrelda,
his daughter, had guessed this. Per-
hans his absence had been carefully ar
ranged by her. She knew the look that
came INTO some mems eyes when first
they saw her. She had seen it grow
and lame in the glance of Arthur
Parker. She knew that his promised
cal would not be long delayed, Where
for tonight she was dressed in what
she believed to be one Of her smartest
gowns. The light in the ''parlor' was
Iit. and Estrelda was stunning on the
piano a popular air. Esther, he maid,
showed Mr.. Parker into the room In a
surely way. She did not approve OF
married women who a men call upon
them. She wished to convey by her
manner that she washed her hands of
the entire business. -,
Estrelda rose to greet Arthur with
one Of her wide. flashing smiles. Il
guess it's a lovely night out said she,

A young mar asks II | will tell him
how to win a maiden's heart.
Well, there are two ways to do It,
One Ia to take It by storm. The other
is to capture 1t by siege. Both way
work,
The woman's choice Is by storm.
There is something OF the cave woman
In every woman's nature that always
responds TO brute force. She yearns TO
be loved %savagelv by some man who Is
ready to murder her II she will not
marry him. In her secret sou 1t Is
grief TO her that the aetual physical
kidnapping OF brides Is no longer good
form In society. She would dote on be-
ing captured by a strong armed man In
an automobile, who would grab her by
the hair of the head and whirl her away
to a honeymoon full OF blood curdling
Never woo a woman humbiy. The
man who burns incense at a womans
feet generally gets kicked for his re-
ward. Be a woman's handy man, fetch
and carry for her. take the favors abe
throws you as gratefully as a dog does
n bone, and she will snu you every
time, Make her believe you stand upon
a pedestal above her, and she Will break
her neck climbing up to share your halo,
Women like men who dominate them
and the man who does not ask their
love, but takes 1t. The sutton who tells
a woman he is going to marry her,
whether she wants him or not, md by
doing It
The courtship by siege Is less spec
tacular and has fewer fireworks about
tt, but II Is equally successful, for all
things come TO the patient waiter.
Many points are In his favor. BY being
continually o. the spot he establishes
a quarantine around his lady love that
keeps all other men at a distance, She
isn't married to him, but she had better
be, so far as being isolated from other
matrimonial chances.
Also he FORCES "a chain upon her by
her gratitude and habit. propinquity is
on his side. She grows dependent upon
bur that he can stan the uncer-
tainty no longer and is pulling out for
other parts. she realizes that his alb
sence would leave a void that nothing
could fill and she weeps upon his collar
and begs him to stay,
Another strategic o that usually
meets with much success Is a star play
to a woman's sympathy. More women
marry men because they are sorry for
Them than for any other reason. This
move must be made discreetly though,
The man who whines is lost. He doesn't
arouse pity. He fills her with disgust
But the a who can make himself
picturesquely wretched before a woman
who has refused him and who smiles
with a broken heart, has a trump card
while the one who can make her be-
lieve that she Is driving him TO suicide
has won the game.

With the fabulous sum asked for

department of the stats fair associa-
ton, ana an experienced fancier. that
something can be done to cut the nien

raising chickens the cost OF cggs may
