PEELED to sit on the anxious seat,
straining his eyes watching for the
sutton who never comes, and pray
ing for the dance partner who never
shows up. The man can always hus-
tie up sentimental business, so TO
speak. Tt is permitted to him to go
out and hunt up feminine society
and annex it by strong arm methods
if he cannot get it any other way.
Failing in all else, a man can al
ways buy in, so that he who has

the man with the price of restau-
rants and'Theater tickets eat by him

pride and be disillusioning to know
that he is not loved for himself alone,
still he does not have to wear the
willow Of the forsa<en as does many
a rich girl. For strangely enough,
the one thing that money cannot
buy a girl is belledom, and many
a little shop girl without two frocks
to her back has more attention from
men than a multi-milliOnalress.
The neglected man is also a rarer
bird than the neglected girl because
women are less choOsey and persnick-
ity about men than men are about
women. No girl would dare demand
that the man she goes out with
should possess all the aggregation
of charms and graces that the. most
ordinary man expects of the girl he
honors with his society.
Yet, there arc men who are per-

Answers to Questions

Today / am going to give YOU
little prayer that should be help
to all Of US, irrespective of creed OF
condition. 1t is not original, but has
been such a help to me for so many
years that I think of along WIN
the other main stays of the Bible
helps:
"Our Father, help us each day
often to remember Jesus Christ ami
to live no longer unto ourselves but
INTO Him who for our sakes died
and rose again. Give is the COuH-
age to be faithful in our duties at
home, to be thoughtful OF the old,
and tender toward little children, 10
deepen the relationship with our
friends by sharing with them our
vision of the Christ. Make our
hearts burn with the longing that
our Master had to bring back others
to His Father. and to use our serV-
ice and intercession that we may
help to bring in the Kingdom of
God in the far-away places of tne
earth. Through the name of the
conqIering Christ. Amen"

TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

dances with him or accepts his in
to the d;--ss=er csz4s. and all of his
gifts are just so many pounds of
candy and pages of reading matter,
instead of being love-tokens.
What it is that makes the sexes
attractive to each other is a secret
that cd Dame Nature still hides in
her hard old heart. 1t isn't beauty, or
worth, or any merit that we can
acquire by any striving of our own.
All that we know is that women
have come-hither look in, their
eyes that every man answers at
sight, and that some men have a
way with them so that they have
only to whistle and every girl gets
up and follows them.
And a woman's either got the come
hither look or she hasn't, and a
mans got the way with him or he
hasn't. Nobody knows the how OF
ii, or the why of it, or the when OF
it, And that's that.
Leaving aside, however, this mys-
ferrous gift that makes a man a fas-
cinator, there are several reasons
Of man fails to he popular with
women.
I. think that the chief thing that
women hate in men is patronage
the condescending attitude.
Nothing makes a woman so loathe
a man as for MIN to pull the angel
stuff on her, but treat her as if she
were moron who didn't have intel
Ggence enough to come IN out of the
rain. Any man who sneers at her
sex, who derides women's opinions,
and makes a joke of their efforts to
improve themselves, and who AFRO
gates to himself Il superior place in
the order of creation just because he
is a man, may be very sure that he
will not be popular with women.
Another man who never makes a
hit with women is the egotish It's
only women who have plumbed the
depths of vanity and self-conceit to
which the male ass can go.
Men are ashamed to boast to each
other. Nor will they stand it from
each other. But with a woman the
egotist LET'S himself go. He spends
hours bragging about how great and
wonderful he is, and monologuing
about the marvellous things he has
achieved, and what he is going to do.
Only the women who have in them
the spirit of martyrs will endure such
suffering and so the egotist soon
finds that no feminine latchstring is
hanging out for him.
Another unpopular man is the man
who is always getting into rows. He
Quarrels with taxi driver over the
fore; he has q. rumpus with the wait
err at the restaurant over the dishes
and sends things back to be recook-
ed; he is peeved about the seats he
has at the theater, and the woman
who has been out with h m
always feels that she has been
through battle
Not many women are grafters.
Very few women want men to spend
more on them than they can afford.
But every woman likes to feel that a
man considers the pleasure of her
society worth whatever it costs him,
and it mortifies her to death to be
even an onlooler at brawl
Women don't like patronizing men,
or .self.conceited men, or quarrel
some men, or dull and stupid men
who bore them. And if l were an
unpopular man I would try to find
out to which one Of these classes
belong, and get out of it.

One is by sneering at the pres

There have always been some

If there were very many Of

Fun in a ScarecrOw


Of fun this life has daily need;
This truth L pray that you will heed
old Mother Nature.
A scarecrow is place to have fun.
At least it is for little people like
Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse.
Just ask Danny. He can tell you if
he will tnat never in his life had he
had so much fun as he and Nanny
had in the old scarecrow in Farmer
Browns cornfield. Both Danny and
Nanny like to play a little. Most of
the people Of the Green Forest ant
Green Meadow do like to play once
in awhile.
Dannys and Nanny's favorite game
was hide and seek. There were
pockets in the old trousers. Those
pockets made wonderful hiding
places. Nanny would start out with
Danny chasing her. Round and
round and up and down that scare
