/
A young woman asks me to give
her some reliable receipt for pleas
ing the men.
There is none. Nobody konws
just what peculiar quality in a woman
attracts men or repulses them. Even
the Bible declares that the way of
man with a maid is one of the mys-
teries that human wisdom cannot
| fathom.
Generally speaking, girls first
aid to popularity is beauty. Every
masculine eye is caught by pretty
face. Every man likes to be seen
out with a peach. who makes other
men rubber and ask the next day
who was the little queen. Undoubt-
eddy, heavens best gift to a woman
| is a peaches and cream complexion,
straight nose, and hair with natu-
raj wave in 1t; for If her good fairy
has endowed her with these gifts, she
can get all the balance herself.
But let not the girl who is not a
living picture despair. Nothing is
easier to camoufiage than peachiness.
Hand made compilations are usually
better than the real article Marcel
artists perform on every corner. and
there are very few men. thank God,
1 Ian 10 liatinUtiGh ha-
tween a woman and her clothes.
The next aid to popularity is to
learn how to dance, how to play
cards, how to play tennis and golf.
Especially how to dance, for in these
days, If a girl wants attention from
mon she must be able to tread a
measure with them without stepping
IN their toes. Heels are even more
important than heads just at present,
and though girl were as beautiful as
Venus and as IL "r as Apasia. she
would line the VIA . If sne could M.
to- die and shimmy. or sha = MINI
,'e foot in the lat dance steps.
As for games. the girl who wishes
u he popular with men mist riay
vel. enogh to max, the game inter-
esting. but not so well that she beats
her partner. If she can keep herself
in the perpetual amateur class who
begs the man she Is playing with to
teach her that wonderful stroke of
his. or explain that marvellous lead at
Bridge, she will never look for in
structors. or have to sit on the
Country Club veranda with the golf
widows.
Nothing has more to do with the
hit that women make with men than
the line of conversation they carry.
This should be selected with great
care. and with strict Difference to the
individual upon whom 1t is to be be-
slowed. Some men like chatty women
who will work like coal beavers to
entertain them. Others want to mo-
nopolize all the talking themselves.
But there are certain Things tnat
all men abhor. One is sarcasm. No
man can abide woman who says
sharp and bitter things; and in an
effort to be brilliant and witty, many
a girl cuts her own throat with her
tongue. No man likes a scandal
mongering woman. or girl who says
little catty things about other girls.
No man likes a woman who laughs at
other people. He is afraid he will be
the next figure of fun to her. No man
likes a woman who babbles on and
on. 1t makes him tired, IL he Is a
quiet man, and II he is a talker, he
wants the floor himself.

HIGHEST PAID WRITER On
HOW PLEASE THE MEN

Clever women are never popular
with men unless they are clever
enough to conceal how clever they
are. Men still prefer feminine brains
scrambled, and the less a woman
knows, the better they like her. The
college Miss who Is entitled to write
M. A. after her name is seldom called
Ma unless she has sense enough to
refrain from making display OF her
erudition, and discoursing upon high
brow subjects to men whose reading
is mostly confined to the stock market
reports. and the Retail Grocers' Ca
zette.
Doubtless. in the process of time.
we shall arrive at a place where men
will not desire to pose as oraeles be-
fore the women, and will not prefer
to have little fluffy ruffles roll her
eyes at them, and ask them fool qnes-
tions. to sitting at the feet of a Lady
Solomon and gathering up the pearls
of wisdom that drop from her lips.
But that time has not arrived. nor
will it be here in the next thousand
years.
Therefore. the girl who wishes to
be a riot with men, does well to puf
the soft pedal on her attainments.
and never, never, under any circum-
stances, correct mans grammar, or
| his history or set him right about hi )
political statements. No man loves a
/ woman who knows more than he
does.
1.-THE more feminine a woman is
the better men like her. This goes
for both dress and conduct. You never
saw a man who didn't like chiffons
and ribbons. And you never saw
man who didn't like gentleness
The reason is perfectly obvious.
Each sex likes best in the other the
thing that 1t hasn't got. II man
wants to look at a manninsh attire
and listen to somebody swear, and
curse, and tell off-eolored stories, he
sticks to mems society. He doesn't
hunt up a girl who is a poor under
study of his little brother. Therefore
the tomboy girl makes as little hit
with men as the sissy man makes with
women. So the girl is wise who sticks
to her furbelows and who cries when
she gets angry, instead of saying
damn"
Men like sympathetic women. They
like the woman who has the eternal
mother in her face, for men never
grow up. At heart they are always
little boys who want to lay their
heads down in some feminine lap and
be petted and pitied and consoled.
The woman who can listen sym
pathetically. who can enter into a
mans plans. and comprehend that II
isn't just egotism that makes him talk
about himself, but that he has just

woman who can crown him with
laurels when he succeeds, and buck
him up when he fails and gets dis
couraged. has got the rabbits foot
with which she can conjure men even
when she gets to be 80 years old. and
hasn't hair on her head or tooth
that isn't hers by right of purchase.
Finally, and II woman's got this
she needs no other charm. to be pop
ular with the men, to be one of those
who men rise up and follow as she
passes, woman must have the come
hither look in her eyes. And what
that is, nobody knows. It's just there
and il works.

SAYS GASOLINE PRICE WRONG

Dear Mr.. Editor:-If you will per-
nit space in your paper for this letter
you will greatly oblige me.
The price we are required to pay
for gasoline in Vidalia is too high,
and out of line with the price obtain
ing elsewhere. In Natchez, and else
where, Gasoline is selling at "a cents
per gallon, and here in Vidalia it
costs 80 cents per gallon.
l do not think this is a fair price
on a standard commodity, inasmuch
as the dealers in Vidalia pay no more
for gasoline than the dealers in Nat
chez.
l do not know what is regarded a
legitimate profit on gasoline, but it
does seem as if an excess charge of
6 cents per gallon is excessive and
out of line.
l understand the wholesale price
on gasoline dropped last week, or a
short while ago, and l sincerely trust
our good merchants will take cogni-
zance Of it in their prices for "gas.
Yours truly,
AN AUTOMOBILE USER

gram. "B. V. D." was done in club
colors of blue and pink and decorated
the rear of the hall. The moon light
