4 Woman's View
of the Old World
BY ANN BLEsENER-

ND you ever notice about Christ
mas time that cartoouist5 are
fond OF drawing children looking
iongingly at toy displays in shop
windows7 The children are always
hungry looking and thin It's q pie
ture that moves one 10 do things and
very nearly moves one TO tears. You
don't need to wait for Christmas
Saturday afternoon viii DO just as
wen. You don't need q cartoonist-
Just pass the department stores IN
Among those looking In the win
dows are lots OF grownup children,
working girls, whose savings from
the week wouldn't buy the sleeves
in the dress they admire.
Speaking Of girls-lots OF girls
would rather be talked about because
they didn't amount 70 anything and
nobody was proud OF them than 70
be talked about because they looked
like q "hick" or a boob" or a
"rookey." or any OF the other mod
srnizsd terms meaning old fashioned
and poor.
A politician reminds me OF d fire
fighter. He just gets the fire
stamped out in one place and turns
his back 70 beat out another out
break when he sees q new disturb
ance and has 20 rush over there By
that time the smolderlng remains OF
as first efforts flicker and blaze Up
anew. and he runs wildly about hit
ting here, there and yonder until he
either wins or stand exhausted and
defeated so black and smooty he's
nearly ruined
Speaking Of poIiticians-ths IN
offending bystander is always dread
fully confused trying % figure out
the right man, because II the candi-
he is q wonder Of perfection and =
he e the party Of the second part
words fail 20 describe what q misfit
he IS
When q woman feels unduly self
assured and conceited she should ride
in a Mills building elevator. It's a
sure cure for they don't take off
their hats at all
Spring has couaei Beside radishes
and carrots and sweetpeas, poets
flourish in the spring Poets take
up their pens and write with the
coming Of spring much the same as
gardners take up their hoes and
rskes-and often with no better re-
suit
Murder is justified at times and
one OF the times Is when you are
walking home with your arms full
Of bundles. big, little and all sizes,
and they are slipping in q terrifying
way and you are praying that you'll
get TO the house before you drop the
eggs, and the wind IS blowing q gale.
and your hat feels Ike its about 70
blow of. and you meet q friend who
insists on shaking hands.
Grsciousi People have started
striking again. It's better 70 have
them kick than strike.
Z isn't a new thought but isnt it
the limit the way 8 man VIII argue
and act stupid when he Is being con
WINGED that he Is wrong, yet II he
finds il out himself, he nearly falls
over himself 10 correct hlnself2
That reminds me Did you ever
notice when a busy man who Is in
a dreadful hurry leaves his house
IN the morning he stops 20 tie up
the dog. and he spends five minutes
trying TO figure out what Is the mat
ter with the front door night latch.
and ha rolls up the hose and sdmires
4 new shoot on his pet rose bush and
makeg mental notes 20 have the lawn
clipped and the trees prunedI All
that and he il n q hurry. when he
gets 10 his office he remembers his
hurry and nearly falls out OF his
car. and dashes into his office and
filings himself into the harness for
the day.
