Women and
Judges

4 NY pretty woman has a good
~ chance Of fooling judge on the
- bench, but she can't fool an
other woman"
So says Mrs. Van Wrinkle, director
Of the woman's bureau of the police
department in washington, d. c.
Rip Van Wrinkle seems to have
been a sort of sleepy old fellow.
doesn't he? But there is nothing
sleepy about Mrs. Van Wrinkle Of the
Washington police department.
And she never was any wider
awake in her life than she was when
she said that about the pretty wO-
man and the judge.
Men never do see through a wo-
man and 1 suppose women never do
see through a man, although If the
plain truth must be told, l think
women see a great deal straighter
than men most OF the time.
Men Don't Grow Up.
That's easily explained.
The average man walks through
life with a thick veil over his eyes
as far as women are concerned.
Every new woman is a new interest
TO him He filings about her the
cloak Of his imagination and sees IN
her just exactly what ne wants 10
see-no more and no less.
And while she attracts him in the
least way-he simply cannot see an
inch through the veil.
Women wear the same veil for a
few minutes-they don't wear it for
a lifetime To a girl Of sixteen every
strange man IS a possible hero. To
the woman OF twenty-six only one
man Is romantic And 70 the wo-
man of thirty-six. every man Is
Just a man-and that's all
To the boy Of sixteen. every wo-
man is a possible lure. To the man
OF twenty-six every woman Is
probable lure And 10 the man OF
thirty-six a woman has to be as
hideous as a gargoyle not 10 fill his
soul with the same queer mysttfied
attraction that he felt when he was
sixteen.
Women grow up-men never do
No woman OF fifty who can read

But. alas, the art of charming is
much more intricate and subtle

Beauty may be only makeup deep,
but charm goes clear to the heart
and brain!
And it doesn't rub off like roug :,
nor fiatten out after six months, like

And it is the one thing that makes
life worth while-for any woman!
Listen.
At a certain summer place, years
ago. the most popular girl" was just
a wee bit under so.
We called her Mother Kane
and. oh. she was sweet!
She smeued sweet-of lavender
and scented soap and talcum.
And she looked sweet-with her
snowy hair and her snowy frocks,
and the sweet peas pinned on her
corsase.
And her smile was sweet and VIM

And her voice was like a silver
door set in a scarlet walr'-as Bliss

And she said sweet things-told
and how your blue sweater matched
your eyes and things like that.
And she WAS sweet - clear

And. on the piazza. all the mer-
riest crowds were gathered around
Mother kane's little throne. And
at the dances she was always led to
the most comfortable seat, by the
most personable young man.
And no party was considered a
REAL party without her!
And-where Mother Kane is, now,
I'm sure it's all just the same.
Hers Is the most beautiful halo.

And her garments and her wings
are snowy and scented.
And all her days are spent in kiss

is one of the angels duties
