How To
 Win And Hold A Man

A young woman wishes to know whether & girl should show her af- fection when she loves a man, or whether she should affect indif- ference, and keep him guessing to the state of her heart.
 Which is the wiser plan depends altogether upon the man. Generally speaking, the average male craves most the peach that hangs highest on the tree, the one that he has to risk his neck climbing to get, and he has small appetite for the overripe fruit that drops into his mouth.
 If you will observe, you will per- ceive that the girls who are most boy-crazy never have and beaus. The women who are most anxious tel marry never catch a husband, and those ladies who are all heart, and ready to bestow their devotion on any one who will have 1t, never find any takers.
 For, again generally speaking, men are by nature huntsmen. They enjoy the chase of the petticoat. The more difficult woman is to catch, the more they desire her, and the less sh, cares for them, the more they care for her. The woman who tries to run down a man seldom catches himf LOT the more GH0 nOLIOOLS aIler nlrn, the faster he sprints.
 If a man belongs to the strong, virile. aggressive type, woman makes great mistake to wear her heart upon her sleeve. The mere knowledge that he can have her for the asking keeps him from wanting him does not thrill him. It bores him. She does not rouse his sporting blood. When he goes acourting what he wants is to take @ shot at bird on the wing, not to knock over 8 setting hen in barnyard.
 The only woman that this type of man really falls In love with, or who can ever hold him, Is the woman who flouts him; the woman he is never sure of; the woman whose heart is citadel that he has to fight with all his skill and persistence to take, and even when he does break in he feels that he has never got be- yond the first defense, and that there is sacred inner chamber that he may never reach. This sort of mans eternal ideal is the woman who is snow and ice to all the world, but fire, now and then, to him.
 Therefore. if your man is what the
 
 camouflage your affections. Play possum. Never let him find out you care for him. Never answer more than half of his letters, though you have to put on gloves and sit on your hands to keep from writing to him. Pray heaven to give you strength to resist calling him up over the tele- phone and making a date with him, and yell for mama if he tries to kiss you.
 This type of man is essentially a cave man, and he wants to think that he discovered his wife and dragged her, kicking and screaming, by the hair of her head, to his little dugout. He couldn't stand the modification of knowing that he fell into the pit that an artful and designing female had dug for him, and that she hob bled him and dragged him to the altar.
 So, for the real male of the species the foxy play is for girl to hide her love, and "1et concealment like 8 worm in the bud. prey upon her dam ask cheek" as MT. Shakespeare re- marked concerning this matter. In other words, the best she can do is to ferent, and keep her fingers crossed for luck. But with two other types of men she Is well advised to be up and doing.
 With the shy man the woman has to make the running, or else there is nothing doing. He hasn't the nerve to take the plunge of his own voli- tion, and the girl who wants him
