THE TIMID SEX

Robert NJ. Gay in the Atlantic Month
ly: There is deep-seated in every
manly breast a determination not to
be, or at least not to appear to be, in
terest in anything that any teacher,
lecturer or preacher may say; and
it is merely masculine to register this
obscure impulse in any way short of
audible groans.
A woman will tell you that men
are poor listeners because they want
to do all the talking themselves; but
such an unjust suspicion must be as
cribed to the satirical view that one
sex naturally holds of the other. How
ever, this may be, it is certainly true
that women are courageous church
goers, concertgoers, lecturegoers,
without whose encouragement most
public takers of the world would have
to go out of business
Now, no woman minds at all walk
ing the length of a room and sitting
in the front row, even when the room
is full of people. In fact, she rather
likes it. If she sees a seat in the
front row, she goes for it; and her
ears do not get red, either. Watch
her as she sails down the aisle at :,
lecture or in church. cool as cucum-
Der; and then watch her husband as
he sinks after her.

Living Rich and
Dying Poor

From Marshalltown, Ia, Republican.
When the man was waiting for the
street car on the corner he overheard
discussion between three men of
perhaps 35 years of age One was be-
ing jOllied for his stinginess and
thrift. He was taking it seriously
and arguing that everyone gets old
some time and can't work" One of
amt saving cent, but I'd rather live
rich and die poor than to live poor
and die rich"
turn of words, don't you think
Sententious and all that-rather "live
rich and die poor than live poor and
die rich" Epigrammatic and all
that. Snappy
But, Lord help the man, does he
know what it means to "die poor ?"
To drag out the last few years OF
life in poverty and utter helplessness,
the recipient of grudging charity" so
called? To be negligible to other men
and women except as liability and Il
burden? To eat the bitter bread of
charity in utter helplessness Smart
talk alright. Sounds bold and pert
while the blood runs free and the
muscles snap into action at the COM
mand of the will. But he doesn't
know
1t would do that man good if he
were to know more about the old peo-
pie who die very poor through misfor-
tune or lack of thrift. If he could
go into their homes and see what
those who do go there see; if he
could realize the humiliation and
helplessness that looks out of their
eyes; could know the fearful graft
tude for help, that gratitude that one
sees in the eyes of hurt and
wounded animal when it turns to its
rescuer; if he realized the dumb agony
of it all that smart sentence would
loss its smartness.
The man is selfish. The impression
that he has no doubt that he is a
liberal fellow isn't true First, if he
had seen and noted the condition he
flippantly refers to he wouldn't use
the phrase. Chances are that he isn't
making any personal calls on those
who are dying poor Otherwise he
! wouldn't have said it. He'd have
known. And when he slammed the
thrifty man he threw a rock at the
very people who must, in human
kindness with human responsibility
care for him when he "dies poor"
There comes time in most mems
lives when they must retire without
dying. 1t is then that man and his
aged wife will be independent or a
public charge according as to how he
lived his life. A veteran salesman
for the Lennox Furnace Co., resigned
this week after 81 years continuous
kservice as salesman for that pro-
duct. He started as a molder and a
tinsmith. Because of his thrift he
had become a director and share
holder in the building and loan as
ISOLATION of his home town for TWEEN
ty years. He owned stock in the
local gas company and had money
loaned out He could retire in COM
fort and independence and let the
younger men take up travelling

charge on the public nor a detected
old man worrying for fear his en-
ployer will discover a decline in his
earning power. A. younger man on
the force remarked that he wished he
could retire too, when this independ-

THE BRIEF CASE

Boston Herald: The brief-case to-
day is the final touch that gives that
polished look of meticulous attention
to the little things that count. 1t says
with quiet insistence that the person
carrying it is engaged in one of the
polite professions, or was lat least,
on theexecutive end of trade or in
dustry. The street car conductor
eyes it with respect which may be-
come admiration that such a man is
democratic enough to use street
car. The night policeman, meeting
the way-farer on the lonely road, is
likely to take the brief-case as pass
port of responsibility, if there is no
bulkiness shaped like bottle. A
business-like stride goes properly with

HOW MUCH PAY DOES MAN NEED
 KEEP MATE?
L A. Split on Whether $20 Week Enough in That City
  MUST KNOW HOW TO SPEND
Bank Budget Shows It Can't Be Done; Judge
 Says It's Too Little

LOS ANGELES, March 15.-Under existing living conditions is a young couple justified setting up housekeep- ing with the bridegroom's income only $20 a week?
 In other words, can little Dan Cupid string his bow with such 'thong" and make "go" of it?
 How would young couple go about it-what sacrifices would they have to make, separately and together-to assure their Hove bark" could keep afloat under the sails of $20-a-Week bill?
 Men and women, prominent in civic, social welfare, financial and industrial circles in Los Angeles, have discussed the subject pro and con, and, while not unanimous, it seems that in most cases the opinion is that for an income on which to be married and live happily the amount is too small.
 Most of those interview were em- phatic in their opinion one way or the other. Between the extremes were some who were doubtful
 Woman Says "Yes"
 Among those who believe that Los Angeles couple can live and be happy on $2O a week is Mrs. J. B. Stearns, past president of the Women's City Club, who has taken an important part in many civic activities.
 'It can be done," she said, "but 1t would take a lot of practical working out of perplexing problems. The people who want to can do it. l be- lieve those who start out on that basis, in the long run, amount to more than those who are accustomed to plenty belief that it can be done modified their statements by saying it all hinged on whether the couple knew how to "manage''-that is, purchase their necessities and how to discrim- mate between necessities and luXur1es.
 Without any hesitation the Security Trust and Savings Bank, through it's research department, believes the hus- band should have a minimum income of $125 a month before he and his wife can weather the storms of the matri- monial sea. The bank submitted the following figures:

Called "Impossible"

Among those who said they thought it was practically impossible" to make a Ego" of married life on such a small allowance was Ethel R. Palm CT, Southern California representative of the Industrial Welfare Commission. Business women, she pointed to as an example, are having difficult time living on $16 week, and that an ad- ditional $4 a week is hardly enough to support another person. The big gest obstacle, she declared, was rent.
 Judge Summerfield, who presides over the Divorce Court in Los Angeles, handed down the following opinion:
 "A young man should be earning at least $30 a week before he thinks of getting married. They could get mar ried, all right, but how long would it last?"
