fac: that she lacks romantic Imagination, MAe
is, as 1 said, far more practical when 1t comes
to love and marriage. A girl may, it Is true,
gaze up soulfully into mans eyes and unNr-
muir:
How wonderful you arer
But she whispers this while all the time
realizing that he is anything but a financial
wizard or a Don Juan. II she is guileful she
says it with her tongue in her cheek, knowing
that men like to be praised and nattered.
WMANY people mistakenly believe that man
is the hunter, woman the hunted. But
I adhere to Bernard Shaw's theory that woman
on the whole, Is the pursuing SEX man the re-
treating. It is woman's business in life to hunt
down chosen male. For regardless of wom-
ans progress and her modernity, marriage and
home. husband and children make up the
ultimate goal for most women.
so woman is the huntress under the ap-
pearance Of being the hunted. 1t is this very
fact that she takes the aggressive part in the
love duel that makes her seemingly more afIec-
tomato than man. She Is the one who bestOws
the kisses and the caresses, for she has given
more time to the study of the technique Of
love and lOve-making. She has made of love
business, while man has always looked upon
1T as q delightful pastime apart from the inn
portant business Of his real life work
Ito q certain extent, OF course the personal
and racial equation enters into the matter. A
Spanish woman for example, loves to he the
pursuer. She is the one who carries the stiletto
in the passionate love affair and wounds the
man who does not requite her love or who
gives it to . rival. On the other hand. the
Irish woman Is coy. She Is difndent shy.
coquettish, but all the while she Is pulling
the strings and landing her sutton.
i know . young Irish girl who kept her
sweetheart dangling for several years. He did
not know definitely whether she returned his
love or not. Finally they were married and
she almost fell at his feet and declared her
devotion for him. But her Irish temperament
made 1t impossible for her, during the period
OF courtship, to appear anything but coy and
q bit aloof
French women are arch and very practical
in their love affairs, and they like women Of
other nations, are really the aggressors In the
business Of love and marriage.
But no matter what the race of the woman,
she Is always acutely aware of her husbands
faults, just Is she was cognizant of them
before marriage. She Is not self-deceiver. 1t
is the same with her children. There may
be some fond mothers whose geese are always
swans to them, but most women are not de-
luded by their cherished sons and daughteTs
"WOMAN is not always affectionate because
OF the exceptional warmth of her ma
GuIe 0omeClIneS she is demonStrattve because
1t pays her to be so. She is astute and knows
that man is attracted by the affectionate wom-
an. 1t Is well known fact that the woman
who develops this talent of showing her love
has the greatest hold on man, even though
some people argue that man is less affectionate
than woman.
Most men eternally crave affection, and
this accounts for the fact that certain men
cannot live single lives. No matter how much
such man has loved his WIFE, when she dies
he does not mourn her loss for long. At any
rate, he takes to himself another wife, some
times long before the customary years period
OF mourning has passed. He simply cannot
exist without having a woman around to treat
him endearingly. Most men are marrying
men,. 1t Is only the unusual-not the 100
per cent normal-man who prefers to live with
out woman
when said that clever women realize that
1t pays to be affectionate 1t occurred to me
that it is not alone always woman who realizes
this. Take Georgette, this alley cat, for cx-
ample. See how cold and lacking I'm affection
she isenow. She was not always thus" ps.s.i.
