EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

| Did it ever occur to you that the

/ rom masculine lips, after all are really
! On the mems heads?
Figuratively of course I mean.
1 am sick to death of reading man.
made essays on the simple, natural
woman" and how greatly she appeals
TO masculine kind.
wonder If any of the men who
write that sort of thing really believe
1t.
Why do women try to make them
elves beautiful?
So that they may take pleasure in
looking in the mirror? Or SO that
hey may win the admiration of other
v omen?
Not exactly.
Do you think if the wish of Rachel
granted and ''the men were all trans
ported far beyond the northern sea"
the women who were left would wear
puffs - z-- z-
Certainly they wouldn't.
If men would only show their dis
approval by stunning the be-puffe d
l1dy in the concrete instead of just
talking about her in the abstract and
approving her in the concrete she
would promptly disappear.
Men talk a great deal about hating
rats and puffs, but when it come down
to individuals l don't believe one man
in five hundred would know or care
very much whether a woman had a
puff or rat on or not.
will admit that men do not admire
. TIE girl who is made conspicuous by
arrying a bushel basket full of other
It ople's hair on her head.
But then men do not like conspicu-
BUSINESS of any kind in their women
folks
But take the girl who wears a
rather scant supply of hair gracefully
end becomingly draped over small
rat and set her along side of the girl
who wears about the same apportion-
enent of hair in flat and simple fasn-
it n, and other things being equal, the
:verage man will gravitate towards tho
! reratted one.
Here is a little document from ex
perience along these lines.
It was contributed towards contrc
versy in a New York paper as to
whether men really like and appreci-
ate the simple, natural woman or not.
GAS far as the natural woman IS
| concerned, runs this little human
document, "I think anyone Will find it
laerely a question of supply and de-
/ and.
II remember that as a girl I was
rs natural as could be, caring very lit
lie for the prevailing mode as to dress
end wearing my hair as simply and
artistically as anyone could possibly re-
quire. Needless to say, l was but an
y different success. something of ia
vorite with elderly bachelors but de-
serted shamefully by the young men
for the petticoats made in the latest
iashion.''
She goes on to say how at the age OF
fifty she mended her ways and became
more popular.
Needless to say, if she had lived to-
cav instead of twenty-five years ago
he would have been just as shame
FULLY deserted by the young men for
the heads dressed in the latest trans
formations.
Please do not think this is a defense
81 rats or puffs or transformations, or
nything of that sort.
1t isn't It's merely an attempt to
Tut part of the blame for one feminine
folly where it belongs.
