Reflections of a
Bachelor Girl
az HELEN ROWLAND

Copyright. 1919, by The Wheeler
Syndicate. 1nc)
The hardest things on earth for
woman to keep: A secret, dollar. a
cook. her figure, her temper. and a
mans devotion.
An optimist is a person with self
rising spirits. self-starting smile. and
a sixty'horse-power imagination.
Some men make love with the d.
rectness of an express train, others as
haltingly as local. and just a rare
few, with the charm, smoothness and
interesting variation Of special"
No matter how deeply in love with
one man, girl may be. she can't help
feeling a little thrill Of vanity, at the
CLINT. with which another mans eyes
light up, at sight of her.
The difference between an "eligible'
and CONFIRMED bachelor, is merely
that one thinks Of the coy evenings
around the domestic hearth. and the
other thinks Of the dull grey morn
ings when the coal bills come in.
whenever he looks at pretty girl.
A mans love is not actually dead.
until he begins to think Of a woman

bills, makes him wear rubbers, and eX-

Hitch your wagon to star. but
don't disappoint if it turns out a per-
ambulator instead of twin six. One

other is in the beginning, anyway.
Cheer up! Life will never lose all

Lovers decide to strike, and demand

When a successful authoress or \

What did I write last? Oh, yes,
about Eric Sands putting his upset
ting question. do you love your hus-
band?" Before reply to Eric's query
l must answer my Own heart and be
sure Of myself. That is what troubles
me. Had anyone asked me year
ago, on the eve Of my marriage to
Jim, do you love him." should in
dignantly have resented the faintest
doubt being cast upon the matter.
Love is such a misused word!
Everything is confused with it-van'
1ty. pride, ambition, passion. curiosity
and a hundred other emotions that
crowd against a girls heart without
her realizing it. Oh. for some divin-
ing rod that will unfailingly tell US
when love is love. and not some
subtle imitation!
Most marriages are haphazard. A
man is attracted to you. His person
ality is pleasant. His character,
viewed superficially as a girl must
view it because of her limited oppor-
tunities, seems satisfactory. You arc
young: you love love. You want to
be chosen. Imagination and the thrill
of young blood do the rest.
That was the way l married. Yet
we were both sincere. We did the
best We knew, the best we could
know under the circumstances. Like
most people, we had to leave the out
come to chance.
must say for Jim that he is a
man of character. He has splendid
qualities-cleanliness honesty, indus
try. tenderness. determination. But
qualities depend for their successful
working out upon the qualities they
come in contact with.
Cleanliness sometimes becomes com
promised under strong temptation.
Honesty, meeting dishonesty, can de-
velop into fanaticism. When combin-
ed with stiff and uncompromising
pride, as in Jim's case, it can grow
into an obsession, sort OF enjoyed
martyrdom.
Industry is always splendid, but es.
pecially when you use good judgment
in putting it to account. Tenderness
depends upon its object.
Some women would rather have ten.
derness bestowed on them than lib
erty. l happen to be the sort who
does not want tenderness instead OF
freedom. In othSZ words, il Jim gives
me his devotion, but deprives me OF
ness and more opportunity. Thus does
beautiful quality go to waste.
The same with determination. De
termination, meeting opposition. often
becomes tyranny. That is where the
element Of chance comes in in all mar
riages. Is the wife or husband going
to have the qualities that combine
with yours?
Jim would make an ideal husband
for "sweetly feminine" wife would
make an ideal wife for a man with
sympathetically modern viewpoint
an artist-radical. a man who makes
more Of study Of humanity (includ
ing women) than of the brick market
A man who would see more beauty
in a thatched-roof cottage in a pictur
'sGue corner Of the world than in a
perfectly equipped smelling plant. i,
man who could get a deeper thrill
