balls, to the aged man who sings when
You and I Were Young, Maggie" the
one sex needs the other.
The youth would find his game dull
without grace and beauty of the girl.
The man with the whitened hair. sitting
by the fireside, looks across it's light to
the woman sitting opposite and she en-
bodies companionshp, where, without her,
the spirit of loneliness would hover.
But when 1t comes to understanding one
another heaven help us.
Do man and woman ever reach that
goal?
Men are giving women half answers all
their lives and women are really vouch-
safing men no answers at all to most of
their wonderings.
A man says woman does not understand,
and he becomes sphinx-lilSe and puts her
off with misleading statements.
If he feels the necessity of selling his
house, to get ready money to enter poll
ties. he tells her he thinks the neighbor-
hood Is deteriorating, and he wants to get
rid of his real estate, while she, if she
feels it necessary to afford her daughter
wider opportunity of meeting eligible men,
tells her husband the girls health is run
down. and she must have change of air.
Both assume they know what they
choose to term their own affairs better
than the other could or would under
stand them, even with the most painstak-
ing explanation.
A very amusing incident came to no.
tice recently about Birmingham woman
which illustrates the text.
She had been having her hair dyed for
ever SO long. and when the occasion
arose for her to have it touched up
again she went to the hairdressing estab-
lishment and submitted herself to the ex-
perts.
Her hair, sad to relate, was dyed the
wrong color when the process was COM
pleted.
She was in positive frenzy of despair.
She insisted that the shade must be
changed at once, as she could never re-
turn to her home and fireside, not to
speak of Friend Husband" until the
right shade was attained, as she could
| never face the music with her hair done in
