"A woman" says the local David |
Ha-um, drives the horse that is
easiest to catch. I often think of this /
when I hear of an engagement or
Haven't you seen a woman
go out in the pasture with the orldle
over her arm to catch a horse to drive
to town? She would little rather have
Prince, perhaps, because he goes fast
er and with less urging but he watches
her approach out of the tail of his eye /
while he nibbles at the grass and when
she is almost up to him he turns
around suddenly, kicks up his heels
and canters away to another corner,
safely out of her reach. He hears
what she says about the lump of su-
gar she has for him, all right, but he
has his eye on that bride. The woman
then goes Up to Old Billy, feeds him
the sugar. pats him one or twice, slips
the bride over his head and leads him
out to the buggy. She persuades her
self that he is safer and easier to drive
than Prince, anyway
In this philosophy the local David
Harum is backed up by no less an au-
-hority on the Eternal Feminine than |
Lillian Bell, who said that the aver
age woman chooses husband as she
