WHAT'S WHAT
BY HELEN DECE

Some women act like spoiled children
everywhere. In the privacy Of home life
this cmbarrasses nobody excepting the
husband, who becomes used to silly
questions, such as "Don't you love me A.
much as YOU did," "Why don't you ask
mo II I'm tired after tho days shop.
ping" why don't you send me lowers
and candy"
When u woman takes this selfish net.
tishness into social life she spoila every.
body's pleasure. She becomes suky, or
affects illness il her husband enters Int,
conversation with any acquaintance,
man or woman; she demands his exclu.
sivc attention al al times. Thus shs
makes Of herself a preposteroug bore
whom, eventually, nobody keeps on in.
vitatiOn list. Speaking of wha. the
British call "thc lower middle rlass.'
Maurice Hewlett says. Some Of the
women IN this class will sulll half tie
evening If their men arc not lovcr.likc. =.
He observed that poorer women have uo
time for such nonsense. and thai mora
cultivated women dislike dcmonstrativp.
ness. For. among wcll.brcd pcople A
husband and wife take each other for
granted.

WHY NOT TAX THE LUXURY

4pplicd TO Those Compacent Persons Who TcU
What Is Going to Happen

THE following letter. written by a
J. reader. describes IN experience that
nearly everybody has had at some time
or other:
Dear Madam:
would like 10 call TO your ntten.
ton 20 an incident which happened
in n theatre last evening.
This theatre runs two shows in the
evening Nhr first from Z TO y and
the last from q to II y. m.) ! hap
pcncd to attend the last show. Two
women tor rather old maids. or lifes
sour lemons) we're sitting one row in
front Of where ! was sitting (no doubt
they came in in time for the first
show. but not thinking they had their
moneys worth. stayed for the second
show. In the first act two Young
ladies' entertained (that is. would
have thought they were young ladies
although I knew they we're young
men before they started TO entertain,
thanks to the two ioykillers. because
they started in telling every one
around them that they were two mon
disguised MS girls). Due TO the above
valuable information. il was impos-
siblc for me to enjoy this net. for
these joykilcrs gave the whole secret
away.
During The next two acts they were
also kind enough to tell everything
that was going to happen in the acts.
am very glad to say that ] enjoyed
the motion picture. as they decided II
was time to leave when the picture
started.
Now. what I'm trying TO bring out
is this: II anybody wants TO sec. the
chow tvicp why don't they keep
their mouths shut and let those that
haven't seen the show enjoy same?

kindly inform me of the sizes and price /?

frock YOU mention was simple one
which would be easy 10 find IN any

Miss loves fashions are like this and
Il YOU are handy with your needle they
are not hard to make.

T,UE whole world echoes

THE whole world echoes why:
l. y. W. y. You can always get
plenty of sympathy from anybody you
approach about an evening like that
why won't they keep quiet and LEI
others enjoy the show?
Ii can't be mere thoughtlessness that
makes them spoil whole evening this
way for others. because those who have
TO suffer from them are never delicate
about protesting.
There is no MISLEADING the significance
Of that black look thrown back over u
shoulder: no chance to misintcrpret tho
angry buzz Of one victim Whispering TO
another: "Arcn't these people awful
the way they tell everything that's going
t. happen" and th" other moaning in
reply: They ought TO be shot at
dawn
No. indeed. people like this are sol
dom ignorant. for any lcngth Of time
at least of the effect Of their disagree
able behavior.
