"Now, multiply that figure by 2," you continue, "and add 5. Done that? Well, multiply that by 50 and add your own age.-- From the total subtract 365, and to the total add 115. Now, what figure have you got?"
"230," replies the person addressed, "Isn't that correct?"
"Exactly," you exclaim, "You are one of the very few persons who have managed it."
And you turn away to hide your smile of satisfaction at having discovered that your victim was born in February and that he is thirty years of age. You have arrived at this result by separating the figures 230 into 2 (February) and 30. And you can do this with everybody's age. Try it on your sweetheart.--Tit-Bit.
HOW HE MAY BE WON.
Some men have been found courageous enough to express themselves on the subject, "How to win a man." Here are the requirements from a masculine point of view for winning a man worth having. The summer girl should cut this out and paste it on her mirror:
Be natural, be extremely fastidious in choosing friends, in conversation, in manners, and in dress.
Be neat, for the well-groomed woman, though plain, is more attractive than the slovenly beauty.
Be cheerful and fun-loving, be kind, unselfish, sympathetic and affectionate.
