These were the 1800 wiles. Try the more modern fluttering your eyelashes or winking while doing the crooked smile;}

You make an excellent point! It's probably worth making a study of modern wiles as well.

As someone whose hair will not hold a curl even if environment-endangering levels of hairspray are used, I must conclude that I have no feminine wiles.

But I can recite poetry randomly! So perhaps not all hope is lost.

My feminine wiles consist of baking. Hasn't gotten me anywhere.

Baking's definitely not on the list. Have you tried giggling?

I’ve giggled while baking. Still nothing.

Oh my gosh I am still laughing. This cracked me up so much. Thanks to a steady diet of these types of books, I was convinced I needed a "halo" of curls to look charming (but natural) and walked around encircled with frizz for most of my early teens. 🤣🤣🤣
