A Well-Practiced Art

BOOK, entitled "The Art of Attracting Men,’ published in America only five years ago, reduces husband-winning to a very conscious art indeed. The professor has set out graduated exercises for the young women, by following which she may become winsome, girlish and alluring. Here are some of them :- 1. Stand before your mirror and say, "I expect you to pet and humour me"; with this thought make a pretty pout. 2. Impulsively show trust in a man and then realise with confusion that your trust was too obvious. This is an exercise requiring intelligent and cautious application. (like sighing in the previous work), but it is highly effective. 8. Practise various methods of teasing playfulness. 4, Arch slyness. Shake finger at glass, saying: "You wicked man." Practise assiduously.

There are many more, and if these are not sufficient it might be worth while sending for the book. The publishers are "The Psychology Press of University City, St. Louis." I do not believe it states how many hours’ practice a day is necessary, but like so many other things which are taught in the name of "Psychology" it is such hard work to achieve success that you should make sure that what you want is worth the hard labour entailed to secure the result. Of course, some will be successful in the art expounded in this paragraph quicker than others. —
