"MEN WHO PLEASE THE AVERAGE WOMAN"

Minna Thomer Autrim, writing in ap Ameri can paper on "Men Who Please the Average Woman," says: Plain women, exaggerating their own lack of comeliness, ridiculously over. valce this quality in men. With them a hand.

goma man has his cause half plow brainy man,

An unlearned woman values whereas a brilliant woman often falls madly in love with and manies a foot. The average woman likes her husband or lover, to surpass her in knowledge just sufficiently to save the situation when she breds assistance. She likes an available prompter. She wants him to have a handsome head only if the Lord business bead the prizes far more.
