15.  UNIFORMED MEN.—­It is a well known fact that women love uniformed men.  The soldier figures as a hero in about every tale of fiction and it is said by good authority that a man in uniform has three more chances to marry than the man without uniform.  The correct reason is, the soldier’s profession is bravery, and he is dressed and trained for that purpose, and it is that which makes him admired by ladies rather than the uniform which he wears.  His profession is also that of a protector.

WHAT MEN LOVE IN WOMEN.

1.  FEMALE BEAUTY.—­Men love beautiful women, for woman’s beauty is the highest type of all beauty.  A handsome woman needs no diamonds, no silks or satins; her brilliant face outshines diamonds and her form is beautiful in calico.

2.  FALSE BEAUTIFIERS.—­Man’s love of female beauty surpasses all other love, and whatever artificial means are used to beautify, to a certain extent are falsehoods which lead to distrust or dislike.  Artificial beauty is always an imitation, and never can come into competition with the genuine.  No art can successfully imitate nature.

5.  BROAD HIPS.—­A woman with a large pelvis gives her a superior and significant appearance, while a narrow pelvis always indicate weak sexuality.  The other portions of the body however must be in harmony with the size and breadth of the hips.

6.  FULL BUSTS.—­In the female beauty of physical development there is nothing that can equal full breasts.  It is an indication of good health and good maternal qualities.  As a face looks bad without a nose, so the female breast, when narrow and flat, produces a bad effect.  The female breasts are the means on which a new-born child depends for its life and growth, hence it is an essential human instinct for men to admire those physical proportions in women which indicate perfect motherhood.  Cotton and all other false forms simply show the value of
