II is one OF lifc's little ironics that men
love women for their faults and not tor
their virtues. Perhaps that is the reason
that the feminine sex does not make any
strenuous effort 10 reach the higher
pianos but cont in,cs 10 be silly, and
frivolous, and inconsistent, and more
concerned about its complexion than its
immortal soul. For there is no woman
who would not rather be loved than to
bc right.
OF course men are quite unaware of
this idiosyncrasy. Every man has his
ideal of what woman should be, nm
particularly has he fixed ideas OF the
qualities that model wife should pos
SECS. There isn't woman who hasn't
heard every man of her Acquaintance
discourse by the hour upon this subject.
But the woman listens with mn in
scruteble Mona Lisa smile on her count
tcnance because she has observed that
the woman who comes up to n mans
idcal never seems to fire his fancy.
Also she has taken notice that the
girls who are best fitted to make good
wives never have chance TO be wives
and that the married women OF her nc.
oueintance who have the most sdoriDb
husbands are not the patient Criselda'
but baby dolls.
Therefore, the wise virgins do moi
take seriously NOUS structures upoI
their weaknesses, and only the foo lisf
ones attempt to make Themselves th'
kind Of woman that n man thinks h'
desires. The others make thcmsclve
what he really wants.
Take the matter OF dress, for in
stance. There is no topic upon which
men expend 20 much really heartfelt
eoaucDcc as they do upon women's low
of dress. II is enough to raise the hai
on your head with horror to listen t.
what they have to say about the wickc,

SEALS BLOW UP IN EIGHTH AND INDIANS WIN OPENER, ) TO
Passing in Review
BY LEO II. LASSEN

The baseball adage that no team can win ball games
without alright defense around second base amply
proved In the opening at San Francisco yesterday
when Bert Ellison, who Is trying To fill Jimmy Cav
eneys wonder Shoes kicked three chances yesterday,
paving the way for Seate's big rally in the eighth.
Caveney the man who kept San Francisco in the
pcnnant hunt all last and the Seals going to
have real time replacing him.
Ellison is good ball player and may make OF IT,
but he seems too big and heavy on his feet TO make
shortstop.
Ellison cracked out two hits In the first game, but II
didn't avail his team nythng simply because he handed
the Indians on his defensive mspays than he did
his team by his hitting.
The other outstanding feature Of that opening game was
the great batting of Charley See. This outfieder Is
going TO be real sensation in the Coast loop this
miss guess. He raped triple and single
yesterday. He's fast and has wonderful arm besides
being darn good hitter.
With smart coach like Dots Miller See should learn
how to field and how TO the bases Nothing will
keep him out of the big show IL he improves p these
departments
Sacramento was hard hit in the opener with Oakland
Marty McGaffigan. of the best second sackers
in the minors broke the bones In of his hands and
will he out OF the game for month more.
This breaks up the Scion nfeld and McGaffigans
great base-running will also be missed. II the Sacs
hold up under this handicap they will deserve world
OF credit
