THE KEEN OBSERVER
A bachelor tells you what points men notice in a. girl.
.first of all, her stockings, anil then her shoe's. If a. girl is well shod she gives a good impression at once. Her hair comes next. Men don't mind straight hair—although most of them prefer the wavy variety—but they will not stand for hair that is neglected in any way. 'Hands and nails claim the male's attention next, and girls should remember that tho ultra-trimmed nail is almost as bad, in the eyes of a man, as the neglected one. . Strangely enough, a girl's handbag is quickly noticed by the discerning male; a shabby bag bulging with grubby, un-, tidy contents, will put a man off even, sooner than a plain face or , dowdy clothes.
Unless a girl, is startlingly ugly, or overpoweringly beautiful, men do not pay instant attention to her features. Nevertheless, they soon spot whether a girl-is , over-powdered. / . As for a girl's actual dress, a ' man looks first for taste, then for quality, and last of all for colour. ■ A moderately pretty girl, who dresses to suit her type, usually claims more attention from members of the . opposite sex than docs her really beautiful sister, who relics chiefly on her looks.
