NOVELIST CALLS
FEMININE MIND
VERY SHALLOW
Also Declares That Alleged Mys-
terry of Woman Is
THE Bunk"
BY LEO T. HEATLES.
International News Service.

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-There are
no wild women: feminine mystery
is the bunk; Mrs. Grundy was a
bachelor: a woman's best career is a
man. Eve wore a fig-leaf for vanity.
not modesty: every wife is an open
book to her husband; woman is a
natural law-breaker; the feminine
mind is shallow.
The above, let us hasten to eX-
plain, are not necessarily our views.
but the expressed opinions of w. l..
George, English novelist and expert
on feminism, who has arrived here
to tour the country giving lectures
on "WOmans IntelligenCe-If Any"
II don't believe there is such a
thing as wild woman" he said.
but if there is you can cure her by
giving her a chance to become more
wild"
Mr.. George made it appear that
mans traditional notion Of woman
mystery and woman's notion of man s
obviousness are equally fallacious.
There is only the mystery of man.

well what they're up to. what in.

bands don't let on because they have
something else to do. Women do not
realize the place that other things

career, but, as a rule. not long, be-
cause after he has the woman he
doesn't want her so much, but after
he has a career he wants more and
more career. He is so eaten up by
the career he hasn't the mental en-
ergy to worry about the woman's
mind. or to discuss things that inter
est her. The mind of woman is not a
! land you can't get to. but a land to
which few people take excursions"
The wife as n housekeeper is GO
ing to disappear, Mr.. George pre-
dicted.
Mans notion in marrying" he
said, has been that he wants one
wife, one housekeeper. one nurse for
the children. one social organizer,

for cigars. He goes in for this mar
velous combination and finds II rare

ment OF the household expert. and
the wife is permitted to continue her

trained professional looks after the
house and does ii well, because she
does nothing else and, above all. be-
cause she is chosen and paid to do

Imagine q woman in tears. The
man asks, What's the natter She
won't tell. The man can either work
along and find out what's the matter
or he can exclaim, oh, women! and
go out, slamming the door. And after
he has said, oh. women" a few
times and slammed the door enough
times he says and thinks he can't
understand women. Really he hasn't
tried.
Men are supposed to have no
mystery. That's because we are sup
posed to talk about such dull things
as business, railroad speed, the mum.

Bile to both Mayor Magee. of Pitts
burgh, and State Senator Max Leslie.
leaders of rival Republican factions.

former Roosevelt spokesman: may
take a fling at the governorship.

New York banker, against Mrs.
Anne U. Stillman, yesterday sent a
telegram to Mrs. Stillman in which
he said:

Mrs. Stillman made the telegram
public upon her arrival here from
Grand Piles, Que, to obtain addi-

the divorce hearings, which open

Canadian attorney engaged for her
by Fred Beauvais.
Another lawyer, probably one who
carried great name with the
French Canadians, is nedeed for the
Moptreal hearings, she believes. The
question of the fee arose. Here was
the proper disposal Of his fathers
check. Bud insisted, and Mrs. Still
man reluctantly accepted the tender.
Beauvais's wire meant that the
last possible chance of his disaffec-
ton has been removed. Late yester-
day afternoon he arrived at the
home of Jean Crete in Grandes Piles,
and soon was immersed in discussion
with Mayor Crete as to the best way
to make a quick Cleanup" of needed
witnesses.
1t was decided that Crete and
Beauvais should proceed today by
sleigh and dog team to the Latuque
region, which is about one hundred
miles north of Grandes Piles and on
the real "furthest north" zone of the

Mrs. Stillman's meeting yesterday
with the sturdy young lumber camp

IT remember your visit to us very
well. You and 7 had a cup of tea
together. Then l escorted you to the
