laughed about the girls who rang
him up, took him riding, made
dates with him, invited him TO
escort them to parties. It's oh

these girls are making her broth

Yet Jack though he basks in

The only girl he cares a hang
about, by a strange coincidence.

friendly but Indifferent when she

you ever saw. But she won't
look at me. And when you ask
to call on her. she usually has
another date.
Girls naturally like to become
better acquainted with young men
who interest them. Some modern
girls are reversing an age-long
custom and frankly pursuing men.
The objection to this method is
that it seldom succeeds in arols-

when you've caught car you
don't run after it." a man once
explained to me as the reason he
lost all interest in a girl who
showed by running after him that
she was his If he would have her.
Men are most eager to possess
what's hard to capture. Girls
who ignore this masculine char
zacteristic lose out before they
begin their. efforts so far as the
serious affection and regard of a
man are concerned.
Men. by their very nature, like
to please women. A man is never
so happy as when he's putting
himself out to please a girl. So If
YOU want to keep a man interest
ed, let him do things for you.
Don't spoil him and make him
hopelessly conceited by your con-
tinual attentions to him.
Be as charming and attractive.
lovely and lovable as you viii and
can. If your companionship and
affection are worth striving for
and have to be earned, .you'n not
lack masculine attention.
The best way to get better
acquainted with the. young man
you know and find interesting is
to ask him to call Naturally,

partnership. But many men wait
for just this encouragement from
a Girl before showing her atten-
rion.
Win your parents consent to
entertain all your friends-both
girls and young men-in your
home. because home is the very
best background for your friend
ships. There your friend will
meet your parents and learn to
understand your personality, en-
vironment and viewpoint.
Noeline always meets a young
man at the door with her hat on
when he comes to call.
Its easier to let him take me
out than to entertain him." she
claims. This is a mistake. Many
young men hesitate to call on
girls because they can't afford
expensive entertainments every
time they make a call.
Turn on the graphaphone and
dance at home. Try new music
on the piano. Chat by yourselves
in the furthest corner Of the liv-
ing room. Show your skill by
making cup Of chocolate or
coffee.
What matter though your home
is small, crowded or unfashion-
able, your parents plain and old
fashioned. If you're loyal to
them he'll know you'll prove a
loyal friend, sweetheart and wife.
