A Mans Opinion.


Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Just a few words in regard to the
self-designated Innocent, whose
letter recently appeared In your
column. AS most of the CRITICISMS
seem to come from women. let me
give you the views Of mere
man. =.
AS far as Innocent" himself rs
concerned, he Is evidently CAD,
and II his escapade has not resulted
in the girls getting in trouble, ne
would probably be in the back end
Of some pool hall Boosting OF MS
conquest.
The letter signed Just Girl
seems to contain the views OF
clean, broad minded girl. willing to
face the ugly things Of life without
prudishness, but she does not un-
derstand that there must always be
a double standard of morals, FOR
the reason that nature has imposed
a penalty upon women, towit: That
when a woman goes wrong and gets
into trouble she bears visible eVl-
dence of her wrongdoing.
The matter Of upholding the
morals of the world is now and al
ways has been up to the women.
II a woman has to put up double
fight-against herself and against
the man (as your correspondent
says), then she should be very care
full not to allow liberties at the start,
as the most hardened libertine Will
desist when informed that his con-
duct is offensive. The trouble with
most girls is that they like to see
how far they can go, and the gen.
orally get away with it until they
ton;r a%f
and then wake up some fine morn
ing and find themselves in trouble.
Another thing. the majority Of girls
are crazy over cads like Innocent
who probably has pretty manners.
nice clothes, can lie to a girl and
make her think she is the prettiest
woman in the world (she already
having a pretty god idea in her own
mind that she isl. They do not care
for fellow unless there are lot
of girls running after him; then
they try to take him away from the
other girl and have to give more or
less liberties to do it.
realize that the sensible girl
generally sits on the porch in the
evening, talks to papa and mamma
and Aunt Mary and is lonesome,
while the girl who f1irts and permits
liberties goes automobile riding
with the fellow and has a good time
in general, but if the women would
get some good old common sense in
their heads. learn that it is better
to Judge a msu by his reputation
and character, rather than by the
fit Of his trousers and his ability to
tell pretty lies; realize that every
man who pays them attentions is
not consumed by an overpowering
love, but may have other intentions.
then there would be fewer girls go
wrong and the morals of men Is a
matter that would settle itself.
JUST A MAN"
No Bird for the Cage.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: /
thought I'd be foolish to get mar
ried as long as l did not have
home. thought-get the cage
first and then the bird.
But now I have house and
home Of my own, I find that all the
girls Of my age are married around
here. So the question Is. how will
or can I find wife? Put an ad
in The Bee for one? cause I am
very lonesome and we'll able to pro-
vide for one, as l am 33 years old,
six feet tall and weigh $50
pounds. L. S. r.
Are you man or woman, oh, mys-
terious one? From your physique
I should Judge the sterner sex, but
from your handwriting I should
imagine the feminine persuasion.
With a nice home and gentle dis
position you will have no trouble
