NEXT in the list of dangerous men comes the patient waiter. The good, honest, falthffl chap who camps on & girl's doorstep und who will get her in the end if she doesn’t watch out. Somettmes he is the lad who carrled her books to school for her when they were kids. Sometimes he 18 the man who works {n the same placo that she does. But always he is Johnny-on-the-spot, ready to fetch and carry for her, tickled to death to take her to the places for which no other boy dates he: up, ready to snatch at @ kind word as a hungry dog at a bone, always stunding with hat In hand, eager to marry her whenever she says the word. The girl doesn't really care a rap for him. She likes him, His worship flatters her vanity, but she has not and will nev: warmer feeling for him than she has for & reliable taxi driver or a good dressmaker or anybody else who ministers to her personal comfort und convenience. e never raises a thrill in her Lreast, nor quichens her pulse by a single heartbeat, nor is it ever in his power to make her long for his presence. wiy | Yet the chances are almost 5060 that the girl will marry the patfent walter. Sometimes she does it because he overpersuades her. Sometimes she marries him to try to heal the hurt some other man has inflicted upon her. Oftenest she marries him just because all of her girl friends have got married and she is left feeling lonely, and that nobody wants her but poor, dear old Jim, at whoso devotion she used to laugh and whom she would no more have thought of marrying five years ago than she would of marrying the parlor sofa. And it is o disastrous fate for them both, because a oneJove murriage is @ lop-sided thing that creaks as it goes along and s always fn danger of breaking down. Hence if u girl doesn’t want to marry the man who wants her, instead of the man she wants, she had better take out an accldent policy against marrying the patient waiter Bt ' .. HE next most dangerous man is the unappreciated genius. Nobody understands him—espectally employers, who have a sordid way of expecting efficlency and who cannot comprehend that it revolts the soul of one born for finer things to have to punch the time clock at the same hour and do over and over again the same dull tasks every du: Of course, the unappreciated genius is always out living on his poor old parents or sponging on his brother he finds something to do that will not grate upon his sensibilities and in which he feels that his talents will have proper scope. Something with much pay and no work. 4 job, und he is| nd sisters whil l'i In the meantime he craves some one who will understand him and to | And, curlously enough, hie nearly always finds his victim in the finest, noblest girl in the community. The flappers are safe from him because they are too hard-boiled to fall for any blah stories. Besides, they have neither | time nor use for the might-have-beens or the going-to- They want the man who ha the coin to spend on them right now and here. But the big-souled, sympathetic woman only 6o often lends « pitying ear to the unappreciated genius and loves him for the sorrows he affects to have | known. She doesn't see that he 18 a quitter and a whiner, and she lets him persuade her that she |s the only one who can understand him and that with her to inspire him he Will achieve miracles. S0 she marries him and takes over the job of supporting him. And after | @ while he gets tired of hls wife as an audience and an inspiration and | wanders away from his own fireside in search of fresh listeners and Inspirers. | But be always comes home to eat and get clean clothes and more ||0|'k(‘!: money When a man beging telling a girl that he is unappreciated by a cold and | callous world and that she is the only one who understands him, it is time | for her to cross her fingers and beat it for the tall timber If she would save | herself. THE next dangerous man is the temperamental man. Goodness knows, a | woman who bristles with feelings as a porcupine does with quills is hard | enough to get along with, but she is as nothing compared with the man who has to be handled with gloves. He keeps his precious feelings spread all over the place, and 1o matter how carefully you tread you are always stepping on them. A chance word may bring on a storm. A most casusl remark precipitates a scene. An innocent joke may prove a boomerang. He may find cause for bitter jealousy in the greeting of an old friend or a polite salutation to a stranger Perhaps it is because women are the adventurous sex, with u natural| leaning toward taking foolhardy risks. Perhaps it {s because the good mood of the temperamental man contrast 8o vividly with his black moods that he is | a morbid fascination for women, for there are still ladies reckless enough to marry such men, even after they have been warned by the experiences they | have been through with them during the days of courtship. I And the wife of such a man either winds up in the divorce court orl spends the remalnder of her life apologizing for things she never did; thinking before she speaks and wondering if what she 18 going to say can start any- thing: trying to jolly along a grouch and appeass a big. sulky haby for whom | she has a contempt. And, of course, there is the tightwad and the brute :nd the boss, who are dangerous men, but any woman deserves u marries one of them, because they invariably show thei side of the altar in time for her to save her: if she will And last, but not least, among dangerous men are those whose attentions are without intentions, who win a girl's heart and break it with weary waiting; who monopolize her time and keep all eligible suitors away, but who never pop the question themselves. The sensible girl guards herself against these social dead beats. She! listens to their lovemaking for a reasonable space of time, and then unless they dl:‘cusn matrimony from a practical standpoint she wafts them finto the outer air. bully ¥ d the en she | hands on the near | | | These be the leading So watch your step, girls. ypes of men, dangerous men.
