Stop Worrying.
This happens so often that it
makes one realize that the minute
a woman begins to stop fretting,
and worrying, and thinking exclu-
sively about something, is often
the very moment when she is near
est to attaining it. Over and over
again the years, in which a woman
talks and worries and hopes for q
child, are wasted years and when
she becomes absorbed in some
thing real and forgets her yearnings,
the contrary baby decides it is time
to start on its way.
It is the same way with the I'M
married woman whose whole
thought is a fear of spinsterhood and
a desire to secure a beau. She ema-
mates some element that repels q
mans interest; she creates about
her an atmosphere that is destruc-
tive to love affair. Such woman
places far too much importance
upon the whole thing. She can't
take love naturally; she is always
thinking of it, constituting the most
innocent friendly advances Of any
man, into serious declarations,
frightening him off with her own too
eager response.
Looks Play Minor Role.
Hundreds Of women, whose ages
range from "a to 40, write me every
year about this problem. Sometimes
they send their pictures, to prove
to me that they are good-looking.
AS if looks had anything to do
with it!
But they think looks have. And
many time it is her business
about her appearance, her embar-
raised apologies for her hair or her
old hat, or that maddening little
patch Of poison-oak on her cheek
bone that make man know that
here is a born old maid, thinking Of
nothing but herself. Or rather, think
ing of nothing but the impression
the man is getting Of herself.
She can be natural and simple and
amusing, with comfortable silent in
tervals, in the presence Of anyone
else. But the minute a man is
around she goes stiff, self-conscious
and silly; tittering, saying things
she doesn't mean, painfully shy one
moment, wildly reckless the next, al
ways presenting to him not only her
least natural side. but making an
impression that is absolutely UNI
fair to herself.
Develop 'Comfortableness.'

girls make men too important. The

cause of the international situa-
