"How old is this lady7" says

"She says she Is twenty and

"She probably Is twenty, all
right" says Quincy. "When they
admit they are sixteen they are

the stuff. How often she been

How to Woo a
Modern Maiden
-@HE faint of heart shoul,

T$HE faint of heart should
not be discouraged over
the peculiar turn taken re-
Gently by the young feminine
mind. 1t Is still possible to WOO
and win the modern maiden,
spoiled though she may be, but
you must follow the accompany
ing instructions.
To press your suit, as the tailor
says, there must be careful prep
aration.
First, It Is not necessary to be
born Of wealthy parents. Modern
young ladies do not insist upon
this. If you have accumulated
your huge fortune yourself it is
all right.
1t is we'll to begin your wooing
in the grill room Of the Ritz.
Thus you start with punch, non
alcoholic, but effective. With the
proper foresight you will have
provided yourself with a hand
some Rolls-Royce town car with
Hveried chauffeur and footman.
On tho second evening you can
continue your wooing in the Bilt-
moro or ono of the exclusive
country clubs In the meantime
you will have been shopping on
Fifth avenue and will have con-
cealed about your person a $12,-
900 dinner ring Of diamonds set
in platinum or a rope of per-
fectly matched pearls to produce
at tho psychological moment.
On tho third evening a quiet
dinner at tho st. Regis, and hav-
ing carelessly sticking out Of your
pocket q lease for a marble-lined
apartment on Park avenue with
twenty-five rooms, seventeen
baths and q chow dog. In your
vest pocket you have a solitaire
ring. This may be said to be the
big night.
Produce the ring and the lease
simultaneously and that concludes
your portion Of tho entertain
nent. Tho Job Is done.
It may be the lady was brought
up on Q farm In Iowa and reared
on bacon and grits, but she will
not allow this superiority to spoil
the match. Maybe she never saw
an automobile until she came to
New York, but still she probably
will consider your suit favorably.
But we must insist that the fore
going directions be carefully
adhered to.
After she has left you and
eloped with a vaudeville saxo-
phone player you can try the
same course on another one. 1t
seldom fails of results.
