ONLY PART OF A MAN

It's pretty generally agreed
that the deliberate and Intentional
bachelor, financially able to sup
port a family-a bachelor for pol
icy's sake-is one who IS dodging
his plain duty as member of
society.
Not all bachelors are such delib-
.erately. Most are bachelors unin-
teutionally or accidentally, as it
were. For them who have missed
their opportunities and permitted
the unloveliness Of crusty middle
age to steal upon them there can
be 70 pity But for the man who
deliberately SETS out to defy the
laws Of nature and to despise his
obligations to society there must
be censure not unmiugled with
contempt.
The confirmed woman-hater new
