Real Way to Please a Man.
Here is what a married woman who has been touched with cynicism says of the art of pleasing a man, of which one reads so much: — The woman wiio starts out to study
the tastes of man will have a hard road to travel, lie will demand one set of qualities when he has a headache, another when he is feeling talkative, and another when he is quiet. The woman who persists in talking with him when he doesn’t wish to converse had almost better have a millstone about her neck and be drowned at once, so far as his regard is concerned. To the neophyte, therefore, who asks
what qualities a man admires most in a woman this answer is always given—the one she hasn’t. It does not make any difference, anyhow, for she who studies to please makes a bad matter of the whole thing. Let her first catch her man and then let him understand that she does not care whether he likes her or not, nor whether he approves or whether he doesn’t, and all will be well with the twain.
