NEW YORK, June 25.-When
people say about a man many
women have loved that hes got
what gets 'em," just what do they
mean?
What sort OF men do women go
crazy about?
Men for long time have been,
trying to find out how their moro
fortunate brothers manage to knock
feminine hearts for "a lovers knot,
but none of them has yet evolved
an answer. However, in France at
| the present moment some help IS
| offered by Henri D 'Almeras, who
| got a lot of ideas right out Of his
head and put them into a book
which he calls. THE Woman In
Love-"
Good Looks No Key.
Most of the European boys that
| he glorifies as fascinating to
women weren't any prize danlias
as far as looks go. And as for
moraIs-well, some didn't even have
manners.
M. DAlmeras cites the Duke Of
Richelieu not the one current in
the United States) Mirabeau,
Rasputin and Blue Beard Landru.
Though D'Almeras does not re-
gard physical attractiveness as
drawback to wouldbe women
charmers, he AYERS that it isn't
enough without the mysterious
something. Elinor G!yn, in her
writings on sex, refers to this
elusive equality as cit"
The French author finally gives
it up, unless it is the Don Juan's
way of talking to a woman.
DR.. Mary Halton, noted ply
stefan, has told US what qualities
| made the male conqueror what he
| is today, or at ony other period of
| history. She rather agrees with
D'Almeras in his inclination to
| judge such men by the women who
have loved him. She says the sort
of thing in man that drives
| women quite mad is:
The Sympathy Complex.
"a certain wonderful childish
ness. combined with the emotional
qualities of the great lover
If he has some physical defect
along with these other two qualities
women go all the more mad. Such
man could lack every physical
attraction and still be loved"
DIR. Halton has a high opinion
of her own sex in such matters as
| the one under discussion. No ordi-
nary man attracts many women,
she insists.
1T is not what we will call the
| masculine characteristics that are
the most important in love affairs,
but the more civilized qualities.
THE old-fashiOned idea was that
woman loved caveman. That
was popular fallacy.
Women Like Courage.
women are not the least in
| terested in the brute as such. Watcn
a coal HEAVIER or a man lifting
trunks in the street. Are women
hanging around to look at him?
| OF course not!
Women hold no ideal of bull
strength in their minds
| 1t is men OF complete develop
ment who are the most compelling.
Men who, have the courage of az
venturers, like Sir Walter Raleigh,
that is more attractive .han the
mere strength Of the prize fighter.
Intelligence and courage attract
women; the soldier and the adVen-
! turer. That is the thing that traps
us.
And the man that arouses our
emotions has other characteristics.
We all want a masculine man, but
provided he has courage, we don't
mind physical defects-they mean
nothing.
Defects even are a stimulus to
love, since they provide something
akin to childishness in a man, the
thing that makes us fall into baby
talk. Women must yearn over a
man; they love him for masculine
weaknesses such as a child has.

ALL the world loves a lover he
