SEX DOMINATES SAYS NOVELIST
No More Reason Why Sex Should Be Ignored in Bust
ness Than in Social Life - Mems Attitude
Toward Women Employees.

may fool man. But she never fools
another woman"
This is the reason why women hate
to work for each other.
They are ION" SO to speak.
Men have a certain esprit de corps.
Every woman stands alone.
This is why it is SO hard to organ
ize women for their own protection
1t is beginning 20 dawn on them that
it is only through organization that
they can ever break down the mascu-
line wall that confronts them on every
hand.
For men are women's worst enc
mics.
Bennett is right. The only thing that
men can't forget about woman is
her sex. 1t plays a part in some phase
of his relation to her or the treatment
he accords her.
Women, too, are largely to blame
for a certain attitude assumed toward
them. And it is because, they also,
cannot forget their sex. The best wom-
an that ever liv:d will, at times, long
for masculine conquest. And the things
she will do, on occasion, would sur
prise the Omnipotent one himself.
When it comes to a man it is totally
impossible to tell what any woman
will do. You may think you know all
about woman. That you understand
her from the beginning up to the pres
ent time. You may have an accurate
diagram of her personality. You may
have mapped and plated out her quail
tiles and idiosyncracies. You may
have diagnosed her peculiar case with
astuteness.
That is you think you have.
But let a man loom on the horizon.
Then everything goes to smash. There
is nothing so certain about any wom-
an as the fact that you can't tell what
she'll do about a man.
Mary McLane, whose recrudescence
in the Sunday papers has lately been
accomplished says that it would be i'm
possible for her to vote for any man
| if he were fat That she abhors fat
men.
Hal" here interpolates the man at
the next desk to whom woman's en-
franchisement is obnoxious. There
you are-hoist by your own petard
Didn't say women couldn't take the
impersonal view-,didn't tell you that
to let loose the feminine hoard at the
polls would be to encourage anarchy?'
Don't bother me-" replied this
column. Don't you see I'm writing ar
article for the paper? Besides it's rude
of you to look over my shoulder and
read my copy. Men have no manners
IF we had" said the man at the
next desk bitterly, I'VE would get nc
credit for it. We may as we'll play the
part of the low-browed barbarians yor
have assigned us"
"Nonsense,' deployed the writer
Your dinner didn't agree with you
Go out and take walk"
Il prefer" said he picking up his
hat, "to go round to see The Magic
Horse"

in New York and was sent ION tn,

favor.
One of the astonishing reasons give1
for it's failure to please those aggrega
lions Of provincials called "Broadwa!
audiences" was that the latter coul}
not possibly be interested in a play il
which the people had no servants bu
did their own work.
Or at least that the people who pat
ronized the particular play-hous.
where it had it's premiere were O
that degree of affluence that had NJ
intimate knowledge of the machiner.
which keeps the household in mo
ton.
This seems almost unbelievable.
They may not have liked the play
but if for this reason then all theater'
may as well go out of existence.
1t is not the type or the class or thu
condition that makes the play. 1t is thu
degree of realism it attains in it's ef
fects and the technical perfection up
on which these effects are based tina
makes play success or not.
The truth is that New York is ;
