The Fascinating Girl, by HElen B. Andelin

"An illustration of this may be of a woman who appears to everyone very businesslike and efficient, witha strong aggressive nature. She does not appear to anyone to be tender, frail, or childlike. Suddenly, however, a man comes along who appears to her a real hero. In the presence of what she thinks is his masterful strength, she too begins to feel, in his presence, frail, weak tender and little. At an unguarded moment she lets her manner and actions betray this feeling and the man's face lights up with interest. "What a delightful creature she really is," he thinks. "How mistaken I have been about her." And if you could peek in on them some evening you would find her acting the part of a "Fluttering little bird." The only difference is that she is too proud or sensitive to act this part before others. As usual the world wonders what attracts the man to such a forbidding woman, entirely unconscious of the fact that she is not the same woman to him as she is to others."
