IF Won are a young and romantic
person of say-eighteen years
of age-have you ever sat
down and seriously thought about
yourself in the terms Of fly!
Here you are young. beautiful
as flies 20, full Of energy and the
iov Of living, buzzing around very
happily indeed; and there, waiting
to entangle you hand and foot,
forever and forever, is the strip
of Acknowledgements by your
mistakes.
How much caution are you ex-
ercising to avoid the fly-paper
that threatens to put a stop to
your joyous activities for all time?
older people talk to You about the
waiting hy-paper, and you regard
them as '1meddlesome old bores."
They preach about fy-paper, in
church sometimes, only they don't
call it by that name. There it Is
known as temptation, the world,
the flesh and the devil. and the
wages Of sin. You don't think much
of these admonitions, they seem
an intrusion on your personal lib
erty, accordingly, you remain
away from church and go to the
movies.
The Higher Freedom" Nonsense.
In like manner, perhaps, such
words as duty, responsibility, in
tegrity, justice, and the rest OF the
ethical litany impresses you as abb
surdly old-fashioned as full skirts
flat heels, and curled ostrich
plumes. Their quaintness will be
especially apparent if you have
been reading along the lines Of the
"higher freedom" which advocates
a jungle-like lack of restraint in
human conduct.
You will be especially proficient
in the language Of the higher
freedom" cult if you boast smat-
tering of Russian Eterature-in
translation, of course. It will en-
able you to shock your grand
mother, your maiden aunt, and the
seamstress by-the-day with your
progressive views, much more
quickly than if you confined your
self to the same line in English.
There is no mistake about it, the
Russians know how to say things
q whole lot better than We Ameri-
cans DO, in spite Of our magazine
standard: or the English, for that
matter, In spite Of their novels
and essays.

Beatrice Fairfax Writes Pitfalls of the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

Now the fiy paper may be a very
happy place indeed. when the mil
lennium arrives. but at this stage
Of the worlds history it is, neither
a comfortable nor an interesting
habitat In the first place, it is
too conspicuous, and in the second,
to be bound hand and foot while a
cool appraising world stands aloof
and watches your writings, while
abstHctedly specializing if you
have enough force Of character to
extricate yourself, is not a cheer
ful prospect for a sensitive soul
Doubtless you were In pursuit Of
the higher freedom" when you
landed on the fly paper, and the
maxims OF the cult continue to
shine as beaeohs of truth. but
maxims are cold comfort when one
is bound to ones fate hand and
foot.
We may talk as we'll as ever
about individual liberty, and the
right to this, that, and the other
but when the possession of these
things have branded US as a crea-
ture apart, and one whose "indi-
viduahty"-to speak gently
evokes more pity than enthusiasm,
the blessings are open to doubt.
Failure of Affinity Experiments.
Have you ever, as a matter of
curiosity, followed up any of the
famous affinity cases that. from
time to time, flashed through the
headlines of our daily press?
Mr.. Jones and Mrs. Smith de-
eide to filing the gauntlet in the
face Of society" as they used to
say in old-fashiOned novels, quit
all obligations and fly "to be
happy ever after.V Subsequently,
the quarreIng Of Mr.. Jones and
Mrs. Smith as revealed every day
IN the papers, makes the honest
pickering Of the married almost
respectable, by comparison.
The affinity partnership, with
its smashing of commandment and
convention, that the apostles Of
freedom tell US will safeguard the
permanenee Of the union better
than book and bell, invariably goes
on the rocks. Such affairs are
like the violent friendships that
spring up on shipbOard during q
sea voyage, they are hectic while
they last, but the cOnRehial travel
ers find they are not booked for
the same destination.
