What Man Thinks of a Woman Is
What She Wants Him to Think

w WHAT do men really think
A / about women? What spe-
wv cific qualities do men find
attractive in women? How
do men want women to treat them?
What Is the best method Of catching
and holding one Of these Elusive ami
mails?
These are the things that women
want to know more than anything
else In the world, but heretofore they
have had no way of finding out. The
real attitude Of men toward women
has been . deep dark secret that they
have hidden in the innermost recesses
Of their souls. and so women have been
reduced to making guesses at what
men like about them that were mostly
the wrong answers and playing
lunches that failed to win out.
Now, however, the mystery has been
solved. At long last man has broken
all the taboos of his tribe and written
book which he calls THE Way to
His Heart" in which he tells just what
things about women make a hit with
men and what leaves them cold. The
book reveals how to 60 about wangling
dates from boys and how to camou-
f1age the path to the altar so artfully
that the bridegroom won't know he is
on his way until he Is there.
1t is an entertaining and amusing
little volume that will doubtless be-
come . sort Of debutantes' Bible, for
1t tells them the things about men
that 1t takes most women until they
are IS to find out, when the informa-
tion comes too late to do them any
good. Such as, for instance, that even
the most timid and mouSy Of men,
who are SO afraid of women they are
ready to run II one shakes q skirt at
them, want to be thought gay Lo-
tharios and perfect devils among the
fair sex that none can resist, and that
nothing attracts a man to a woman
SO much as for her to be easily amused
and enjoy things.
A LSO, he warns women against the
suicidal folly Of ever letting men
find out that they know more than
men do, or play better game of
bridge or golf, or draw down a better
salary in business. Even in conversa-
tion they must assist" instead of
leading it, and make the man feel that
he thought of the thought first and
that they are merely following along
in his wake, picking up the pearls OF
wisdom that he scattered.
Likewise he advises women to watch
their steps and study Q mans moods
in dealing with him, so that they may
know how to always strike the right
note with him and not snuggle up to
him for little petting when he has
had a bad dinner, or been to a dull
party, or lost too much money at cards,
and all that he wants to do is to knock
somebody's block of instead OF kiss.
Now these revelations Of the work
ings of a mans mind and affections
as they appertain to femmes are high
ly interesting. But the trouble with
them Is that . woman would have to
be mind reader, a prophecies and .
self-abnegating saint to put them into
practice. Few girls. alas. possess these
gifts or have any occult power by
which they can tell whether when a
man invites them to an expensive
night club they should 60 along and
drink champagne or say, "Oh, no;
let's 60 to the movies instead and have
q soft drink afterward at the drug
store" They don't even know whether
the yearning look they see in a mans
eyes means love or that he has missed
his lunch. So how?
THIS isn't dumbness on women's
part. 1t is just that nobody knows
what a man thinks about women, or
what he wants in women. or what he
admires in women, because he doesn't
know himself. Probably there never
was man who hadn't his ideal wom-
an figured out to the last hair on her
head. She was always going to be
beautiful and intelligent and domestic
and thrifty and meek and mild, and
have a little money and look up to
him as little tin god.
And then some day he met a wild
