ESSENTIALS 9/ THE
AGREEABLE MAN
By Ml**. TRANK
LESLIE
[YUuuHUutiU|| l K agreeable man must not bo selfish, or at least ho
/ ?; l|;v?f 1 must by education and good breeding havo learned so
l II ' J to DISGUISE that "original sin" common to every
/???'.??JUl^v'-I c*-^^ ?f Adam that it shall not offend other people.
^(ajji^iSn^-iujlr As for eliminating it, I do not supposo that is ever
done, and perhaps it would not bo well if it could bo, for if self
preservation is the first law of nature a certain amount of selfishness
is as NECESSARY to tho protection of every man ns claws are to
a cat. The thing is to keep those samo claws sheathed in a velvet paw.
But an ngreeablo man must not make) SELF his perpetual topic,
especially in socioty or with mere acquaintances. There are, to bo
sure, occasions and companies when ho can do nothing better than
to talk of himself, but ho must havo that divine gift of tact to know
WHEN" those occasions present themselves. Between man and
man I doubt if these occasions ever do present themselves or if a
man is ever interested in getting an interior view of another man's
character unless in the way of business or for legal investigation or
somo other practical result.
But a woman?that is to say, an intelligent woman?is generally
keenly interested in studying tho "TRUE INWARDNESS" of
masculine human nature. 8ho loves to point out the faults sho
discovers and to bestow much sago advice, exhortation and warning.
Sho loves to exclaim in pretty wonder at modes of thought and action
so different from her own, to argue which method is better and to
ask explanations of what is contrary to her own experience. In fact,
there arc appropriate occasions when a man can establish himself as
an agreeable man in no way so surely as BY TALKING ABOUT
HIMSELF, but, as I said before, he has to know how and when.
But there is ONE topic perfectly safe for a man to choose if a
woman is his sole auditor, and that is herself. It is an infallible rule
for being agreeable?that is to say, of course, if ho knows how to
treat the topic. A STRANGER MUST NOT PLUNGE AT
ONCE INTO PERSONALITIES unless, indeed, his auditor is
one of those women with whom an inordinate love of flattery outruns
self respect. Such women there are, to whom a man in tho first half
hour of their acquaintance may praiso her face, her figure, her danc
ing or her clothes and meet with complacent acceptance.
THERE ARE OTHER WOMEN, HOWEVER, WHO WOULD MEET
SUCH AUDACITY WITH FREEZING REBUKE, SO THAT A MAN HAS
NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL IN THE BEGINNING OF AN AC
QUAINTANCE, ALTHOUGH HE MAY BE PRETTY SU<RE THAT IF
HE KNOWS MY SWEET LADY DISDAIN LONG ENOUfGH HE WILL
COME TO THE SAME POINT IN THE END.
