Woman Men Admire.

Years ago an unmarried woman of thirty-five was looked upon as a soured old maid. Nowadays she is in her prime, and will be the ideal of a young man, probably many years her junior. Young men have a penchant for falling in love with women considerably older than themselves, and men who have themselves left twenty-five behind find much pleasure in the companionship of these women, who at one time were supposed to have become soured by disappointment. Men find that younger women demand so much attention. They expect to be amused, or else they vote the men dull and uninteresting, whereas a woman of thirty or over realises that men are often too tired to rack their brains to discover new amusements, or that it may not be their nature to be entertaining and fascinating before a crowd, though they might be intensely interesting when with but two or three friends. The man finds the woman of thirty an excellent chum, a real companion whenever they go driving, golling, cycling, etc. She does not expect him to propose to her, and he is not always afraid she may misconstrue his simplest remarks into a demand fox - her hand.
