I have done everything to win her over
except except crawl on the groun6 Can you
Dear Bonehead-Stop crawling at
once. No woman is attracted to a
supine male She is attracted by
f1rmness and strength, and repealed
by plant character. If you let
her walk on you, she will be full of
disappointment and contempt.
Some of the most intelligent
women know confess to a sneaking
taste for little bossing from their
men. They like a limited domina-
ton, like a limited monarchy. They
hate the man who uses his power to
hurt them, but love the one who is
strong enough to prevent them from
hurting him.
No matter how untruthful wom-
an may be, no matter how great a
f1irt she is herself, she is bitterly
indignant if she finds traces of CO.
quetry or falSehood in man.
Never famous for her reason and
justice, woman lets her emotions
fly when the tables are turned on
her. Your method might have
succeeded if you hadn't weakened.
I advise you to let your back be
bone instead Of your head. This is
what women admire in men.
Dear Jane Jordan-Mv health always

have heard that men get tired OF SICK
wives. Do YOU think it is safe for me to
marry him? INVALID.
Dear Invalid-Your conscience in
this matter is most unusual and
gives me hope that your marriage
might succeed in spite Of your
health. Health as a requisite for
wedlock is more popular with men
than it used to be. Sickly, clinging

peal to the robust male, because
they contracted their delicacy with

hold their husbands closer than the
strong armed type. This phe-
nomenon has caused many fine
physical specimens of womanhood to
turn green with envy, and I have
heard them threaten to take to
swooning to make their husbands
behave like sickly Mrs. So and Sos.
One of the most famous love af-
fairs in history was that of Eliza
beth Barrett Browning, who was
courted on her sickbed by Robert
Browning. Records affirm that the
marriage was happy. Health is the
greatest gift of the gods, and, from
what have seen of marriage, one
would think that physical strength
was the first requisite for it's sue
cess However, I've seen my convic-
ton disproved so many times by
some little scrap Of a woman that
I'm obliged TO admit that you have
good chance to make the man
happy in spite of your handicap.
However sick your body may be,
do what you can to keep your mind
from following suit. Since the man
knows the condition beforehand and
is willing to risk marriage with a
semi-invalid, he will have no one to
blame but himself if he tires. Here's
letter that came for Chuckle, who
suffers from unrequited love.
Dear Chuckle-Your trouble is
just as popular at 80 years old rs
it is at your age. Instead of de-
veloping this spark of life and I'M
Outstanding that your first love
gave you, you're letting it slumber
Your duty is to bury your first love.
AS long as you keep this little chill
in your eyes, you can't see happi-
ness with new girl. Mr.. A.
n
Dear Mr. A.-You are right.
Chuckle should charge his unhappy
love up to experience and profit by
what he learned. Love is the only
art in which we are expected to
succeed without practice. When
Chuckle had his first love affair,
what did he know about women
and what attracts them?
He was an amateur who failed
from lack of knowledge. The mis-
takes he made with the first girl
will not be made with the second.
This is the reason so many wom-
en- who failed to keep their first
husband happy are so remarkably
successful with their second. No. 2

No. l. Let Chuckle go and do like
wise.
