your feeling, smile. Now say to

things to attract a cultured wom-

fined appearing man. And there
is nothing more attractive than
a neatly gowned woman. There

special heed to your personal APP
Dearance. And persistently guard
this requisite. Remember, too,
that your wearing apparel is es-

often have you heard it said:
isn't he horrid, just look how
slovenly he is, surely he is every
