Strength.
Strength of mind. Strength of body
Strength Of will.
There isn't woman living who doesn'
fall for the cave man stuff and whose secre
ideal isn't a husband who would beat he
when he got angry if he didn't love her s
overwhelmingly.
If every woman could have her hearts dc
sire, she would be wooed with club by dc
termined gentleman who would drag her b
the hair of her head to his bungalow, an
stop her shrieks for the police with kisses.
That is why the bold lover always win
out, while the humble worshipper gets lef
There is just something in the sight Of
man signing at her feet that fills woma
with an irresistible desire to kick him.
OF course, now and then, the meek an
lowly sutton, who begs a woman on bende
knees to take him, instead of having tn
nerve to grab her, does get her, but it is onl
after she has despaired of the love pirate
| coming along.
Practically any man can get any woma
he wants if he has the strength to do 1t, an
goes after her with determination to max
her love. him whether she wants to or no
If he has strength he has the glamorou
quality for her that overshadows all of tn
virtues and most of the social ten command
ments.
1t is true that many women marry weak
| lings. Witness the number of misguided Il
males who have married men to reform thel
and who remain faithful to poor, flabb
creatures who haven't an ounce OF force i
them, physically or mentally.
This has made many men think that til
way to appeal to woman is to arouse he
pity and throw themselves upon her Chart!
They tell woman that she alone can saw
them; that they cannot stand alone and nee
her for brace; that she must stand betwed
them and temptation, and that they ca
never achieve anything in the world withoJ
her aid.
| Little do these men know that the feeliu

merely maternal love. 1t is not the love of
woman for her mate, but the love of a mothd
for a poor, weak, wabbly child that hang
on to her skirts and that she has to hol
by the hand to steady: 1t may be vel
tender affection, very patient and compa|
sionate, and long-suffering, but it has q
element of contempt in it that would
vitriol on a mans heart if he realized it.
Women admire strength more than an
other one quality in a man. They lin
strength of body. That is why big brut
of a fellow, who is without culture, or an
of the finer graces of life, will often succeed

There is something primitive in womd
that makes them want to cling to the cha

Women like mental strength in a. maj

husband, or to be his superior in education
Still less does she desire to be the practic4
one of the family, the one with good judi
ment who has to decide things.
In her heart every woman yearns to 81
at her husbands feet, and to look up to hi}
as an oracle. She wants to be able to revel
and admire him, and to go to him for dire
ton and counsel.
No woman ever really loves man sft
can henpeck, because there can be no Low
without respect, and she doesn't respect til
spineless creature who lets her dominaf
him. You will never find a happy home
which the hen rules the roost. 1t is onr
those wives who begin every sentence wi 6

their life partners, and with whom marria4

Women like men who have strength
will, and who cannot only control themselve
but dominate them. That is why ma

All of us know splendid men who haI
worked themselves to death to crafty I'll

We have known men whose lives have bed
passed in terror Of the temper Of the virag

hysterical scenes in which their wives i

have known men who were baked in the
ambitions by their wives refusing to
