Reflections of a
Bachelor Girl
BY HELEN ROWLAND.

Copyright. 1920. by the Wheeler Syn
dicate, Inc.)
After a few months of prohibition
and seif-boredom, il will be so easy
for a girl to marry the average bach
elor, that it will seem almost "a shame
to take the certificate"
OF course you have the right to pro-
pose to "A man in leap year, Geraldine;
but you have also the "right-of-way"
In front of a speeding automobile at a
busy street crossing-if you care to take
the consequences.
Isn't optimism wonderful? Where Is
that man Of sublime faith who used TO
buy the hair reSturers and the wife,
deceiving breath tabletsH Why, dearie,
res buying raisins and yeast cakes and
things TO drop them in now
There are only two times in a mans
life when he sheds tears or contem-
plates suicide over a woman-when he
can't get her and when he can't get
away from her.
Standardized raiment" for women Is
being enthusiastically advocated by the
lecturers. Good heavens! Just as II
we weren't all tagged out already try
ing to live up to the show girls stand
ard!
Most husbands and wives are like
'home"-delightful to get away from
| occasionally; but not unless YOU are
sure that you have a latch key and a
! return ticket in your pocket.
A mans love for a woman is all that
which Stops over from the exuberant
| self-love with which she manages TO
inspire him.

Ribbon trimming is coming into its
W again. 1t is being used on party
frocks, afternoon gowns, suits and wen
one-piece utility dresses. Streamers,

Has Been Disciplined.

The fourth reason why the business
woman makes a good wife Is because
She has been disciplined and has learned
90 can her precious feelings and not TO
leave them lying about all over the
place for an unwary foot 10 step on.
Likewise she has learned how TO con-
troll her temper her tongue.
The first requisite OF holding down .
Job is to learn To take criticism imper-
sonally, and when your faults are
pointed out to YOU to correct them IN.
stead Of getting angry and feeling that
You are insulted. The second requisite
Of holding down a job is the ability 70
get along with people, and not TO De
In an eternal wrangle with those about
you.
This art the business woman has ac-
quired and she does not burst into 3
passion Of tears every time her hus-
band says the coffee is mean and the
eggs too hard. She gets busy and sees
that they are right next morning. MOI
does she pail the temperamental stutt
and make scenes over every little thinR
that goes wrong as does the girl who
has never had to suppress her emotions,
or get fired from her situation.
Finally the business woman makes a
better wife than the domestic woman
because in working with men she has
learned q lot about the masculine psy-
chology. She has found out how to
jolly men along, and how 70 dodge the
angles in their disposition, and when
to ask fayors and when TO keep silent,
and n lot more useful information that
It takes the domestic woman about 30
| years OF matrimony to find out. For
any business office is An intensive
course in the study Of mankind, that
turns her out A post graduate in the
gentle art Of managing a husband.
Against these advantages OF the bus
mess woman may be set down the fact
that she starts out with little practical
knowledge Of homework. but that does
not count, Any girl who has had
sense enough to make her own living
can learn how to cook in n month.
