 Of course Richard got over his sharp indignation. Winifred had been sure that he would. Yet when she next saw him she was conscious of a certain constraint in his manner.
 It was Tuesday-the day of the evening on which Paine was to call. At noontime Richard telephoned to her.
 "winifred," he said abruptly, "as you know, l shall not see you this evening, unless I come to dinner and perhaps that would be a bit in- convenient?'
 She did not want him to come to dinner. He might finger longer than usual, or Paine might come earlier than she expected.
 If you are free this afternoon why not let me take you for a turn in my new carr" she suggested.

Gives Recipes For Winning Various Men
How To Win Young Mans Heart When He Seems To Be Indifferent Is Problem That Every Girl Must Solve In Her Own Individual Way

v;dual ,dlosynch asies, and tastes, and prejudices, and must be approached different way, and worked by dif- ferent methods. There is no stand ardized master-key to the masculine heart
 Therefore, each woman must study her individual problem, and puzzle out her own combination, and jimmy her own luck.
 Some men, for instance, are won through their eyes. The only thing that appeals to them in a woman Is beauty. A homely woman, fat wo- man, a woman with a saleratus bis cult complexion and carroty hair a woman whose clothes make her look like a bundle that mother tied up, could never speed up their heart- if she was a walking compendium of all the virtues, and owned the na- tional Treasury, besides.
 Such men do not care for what is in a womans head. They are only interested in the way it is uphoister- ed on the outside. They do not try to find out what kind of a heart a woman has. They are more concern ed with her complexion. A woman's looks are all-in-all to such men, and the only way a woman can win one of them is to be better-looking than her rivals, or else develop such hypnotic powers that she will be able to make him see her as she wishes him to see her, and not as she Is.
 Other men are won through their stcmachs. They are easily captured and can be caught, and tanned, and taught to eat out of the hand of any woman who will feed them angels food.
 When a man takes a girl out to dinner and has real heart-to-heart session with the waiter over the par ticular sauce to serve with the fish, and the number of minutes to broil a steak. and when he insists on mak- ing the salad dressing himself, all l that girl has to do to tote him to the altar is to put on a ruffled white apron, and concoct an edible lobster Newburg in chafing dish under the l mellow of a pink shaded lamp. Some men have to be jollied into falling in love with a girl. There are me-. who never care for any woman unless they know that she cares fol them. They like to be flattered, ca. ressed, to live in an atmosphere heavy with feminine incense burn. ing.

 Some men are to be won by women making themselves necessary to them. women who do little things to make them comfortable women who entertain them, women who know all their little likes and dislikes and cater to them, women who become a habit to them which they cannot break. Other men like novelty, and the only woman who ever catches them Is a perfect stranger whom they marry right off the bat.
 Some men like to be pursued, and will marry any woman who will stalk them down, and who will weep on their shoulders and tell them that she cannot live without them. Other men prefer to be the hunters. They like coy, illusive women, and any woman who appears to run away

Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy were very grateful to Mister Peter Pelican, the Parcel Post Bird; for when they were anxious to escape from Crookelookie, the Magician, and his brother, Peter Pelican had opened his bill and said, Step inside, Rag gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy"
 So the two Raggedys had stepped inside Peter Pelican's great bill and were completely hidden when Peter closed his mouth.
 They were just in time, too, for Peter Pelican had hardly closed his mouth and hidden the Raggedys when Crookelookie and his brother came running up.
 Have the Raggedys passed by here?" Crookelookie asked the Pel- ican.

 When the Raggedys were sure that Crookelookie and his brother were out of sight, they took Peter Pelican to the soda water tree, the magical one where the ice cream grew all around 1t, and they gave Peter Peli- can a glass of each flavor. Peter Pelican was delighted with ice cream soda water, for he had never tasted 1t before.

 The tactics to be used depend upon the man, and the opportunity. for there are many. men of many minds, and they all have a different mind about women.
 Of course, it is outrageous that an idiotic convention denies a woman who is in love with man the privi- lege of gting to him and popping the question, frankly and honorably, but since this is the custom, and a man who was openly asked for his hand and his heart would probably say no out of shee fright, all that woman can do is to use the best skill she can in batting her hook, and keep her fingers crossed for luck.

Is The Sphinx|

A young woman wants to know how to inaks Q young man who isn't in levo with her fall in love with her.
 Alas. my dsor, know not. Per haps that is the riddle that the Sphinx, who is also a woman, has brooded over through the centuries in her desert sands, without ever finding the answer. Certainly it is the eternal question that the femin- nine sex ask of fate.
 That is why soothsayers, and siblys, and the purveyors of love portions have everdone a lucrative, business, but in reality. nobody knows any reliable recipe for chaning a friend irto lover, or Quickening liking into passion, or making a man ready to break his neck to get the woman today that he wouldn't have taken as a gift yesterday.
