THE VAGARIES OF MAN.


Philosophers of Heard and Seen
have not yet supplied a truly bright
snappy explanation to the question
asked by II, as to why some men crack
the rubber in their necks to stare
at a woman getting on a street car.
but pay no attention to the same
woman If they should see her in Q
bathing suit at the beach.
NJ. II. Is. ventures the opinion that
as to the street car phase it's Curl
osity. but at the beach there is moth
ing to get curious about. Female
forms are there visible.
w. L. H. also sums it up as Curl
osity, mans benevolent" interest in
the wearer of possible short silk hose,
roll-top stockings, etc He adds
the statement that mans inquisitive-
ness is on a par with a chorus girls
timidity off the stage. The chorus
girl will kick and cavort on the stage,
attired in as little as legal modesty
permits, yet she would blush furi-
ously II her silk hosiery were too
much exposed off the stage. He
thinks this PECULIARLY deserves more
careful thought than some mems bad
manners in gaping at the opposite
sex under some circumstances.
FRED STOKES thinks that the
question of II. is simply one of i'm
agination and realization. At the
bathing beach It is reality pure and
simple.
KENNETH B. thinks it's all just
human nature.

How about the gink who keeps time
on the back of your seat when you are

Or the tom cat which awakens you
Just as you are about to spend the
million bucks you found in the park?
Or the barber who sleeps" on your

answer from the nominee.
II appreciate fully what you say
concerning the interest Of your won

l am in pretty cordial accord with the
best thought Of your people on the SUBJ

There will be some suitable oppor-

something more fully on this particu-
lar question than I ventured in my
speech of acceptance.
'I can readily Sc the propriety in
the selection of suitable western man
for the portfolio which you mention.
This is a matter that is going to receive
most earnest and serious attention at
the proper time. The one particular
ambition in my work is to see that the
country gets one of the strongest cab
