like to feel superior to women:
of
out 1. Economically. Nine ten men do not think a wife should! have a job, six out of seven that she should not have a larger income than her husband.
Two out of three 2. Physically. men hale going out with a woman taller than themselves. Two in live disapprove of women being good at RAMES.
3. Mentally. More than half do not mind a woman crying, rather fancy their powers of sympathy and encouragement. It reminds them of their own greater, strength and for- titude. For the same reason seven out of ten like women who 'expect courtesies from men, dislike their patronage scorned.
Seven out of 10 prefer nails natural, though ne in ve does not mind them being just varnished, one in 10 likes them slightly tinted, slightly more than one in 80 does not mind them heavily painted.
after The same hankering
the hair medium dietates choice of

for voled styles. Four in medium hair against long or short cuts. Four in five also pleaded for medium shoe heels instead of very high or low ones.
Blue and brown eyes Win.
Colour of the eyes do not seem to matter much, though. there are three men who like blue or brown eyes for two who prefer hazel or grey.
Spinsters
concluded who have that a packet of hair dye is the best insurance against loneliness, should bear in mind that two gentlemen in

CHRILL girlish voices
TN their oft moments from feeling superior men enjoy pouring out their troubles to a woman and seeking ber help. Three out five like women giving them good advice.
Though they attach more impor- tance to amiablity than domesticity they like amiability to be confined to the right channels. Three out of five prefer a woman who is firm rather than lenient with servants.
A woman must be good at run- in ning a home. Only one man five likes to be left, to order a meal by himself. marry Children versus
Dogs
Nineteen men in 20 would have their wives prefer children to dogs. The whole trend of preference goes in favour of the good house wife and mother, the woman who thinks her place is the home, who acknowledges the superiority of her
do not cut much ice. Volces should be deep. Four out of ten like contraltos; other preferentes are divided about equally between messos and sopranos. husband.
Coming on to personal habits, only one man in six does not mind if a woman swears.
Smoking is not Popular
Five out of ten think that a wo- man should only smoke in private, 1,870 of the 10,000 do not mind it
A man likes to put his wife on t pedestal, but it raust not reach up to his own height. Men seldom marry the women they make jokes about, though women often marry the men they laugh'nt.
You know the saying: Average man is proof' enough that a woman' can take a joke.
