"HE dainty little flapper. with
her artless smiles, red cheeks
Il and short skirts, Is becoming
a menace to the good looking chap
who for years has been presiding
over the destinies OF the soda
water fountain.
Since that moment when she
first burst upon the gaze OF a
startled Washington. the soda clerk
has been the flapper's most ardent
admirer. He has never hesitated
to blow his last dimes to take her
to the movies" and he hls spent

stinct was to endeavor to forge
chains for him-and when civiliza-
ton had evolved far enough for
words to mean anything between
man and man. woman began to
long for him to make promises to
her also. And so the thought has
continued in the subconscious
minds Of even the most advanced
women of today. causing them
when they love. strongly to desire
words of assurance.
Deeds prove physical force to
the subconscious mind; words COM
fort It and administer soothing
syrup. So men should not be so
impatient with women about their
desire for words of love!
The reason man Is SO frequently
grudging Of mere words is because
his subconscious mind suggests
caution. 1t says to him:
This female creature cannot
take you by force as a male could
so she Is employing cunning.
She would trap you into an
avowal Of weakness for her-she
wants to get a promise out Of you
for all the world as II she were the
chief Of another tribe. Be on
your guard. master, don't bind
yourself"
And thus through the ages the
instinct has grown and grown.
Now, the man whom every woman
wants is one who understands all
this. yet is intelligent enough, or
generous enough. to conquer his
own instinct Of caution through
desire to give pleasure to the
woman.

Woman's ideal man Is always
rather masterful. He is never a
weakling, but he let's her know
by words and implication he
adores her. He makes her feel
in his eyes she is good looking
however plain she appears to
others; that he values her opinion:
that he would be jealous II she
gave him cause.
He e1cites her Imagination SO
that when she happens to be
alone she Is thinking over some
lovely thing he has said. He re-
members her tastes over small
things, and shows that he remem-
bers. He is difficult to attract.
He makes the particular woman
feel that he Is a man women in
general have no influence upon.
but that she has been able to af-

In short, he insidiously, and
probably unintentionally, flatters

which best merits reflection. This
disappearance-this death-of gold
Is one of the greatest tragedies Of
human existence.
Gold has but ono virtue. It does

II does not preserve from cold or

the woes and ills Of mankind-if
we except our teeth. It does not

never goes out and which has not

This is why It had. during the
centuries. a double function. II

not put all women on pedestals,
