Women would not have been that
idiotie. II these friends of mine
had been men, and ten times as
homely as they are, but had pos
sessed the intelligence and charm
they have, women would have loved
them and been proud and glad to
have Dlarried them.
The less sense woman has, the
more she seems to appeal to nen.
The less she knows, the better they
like her. The girls who talk. baby
talk and look at men with big,
round eaIflike eyes, and ask silly
questions, have men fleeking
around them like flies about a
honey pot, and can marry whom
they choose.
But male idiots make no appeal
to women. Women loathe ignorant
men. Masculine morOns do not
fascipate them; they disgust them.

woman who wants TO marry to have
willowy figure and gift for
clothes than for her to be a model
of all the virtues and . college
president in the bargain.
Women never cease marveling NJ the
qualities in women that attract men,
and that cause men TO pick out the
women who possess these attributes
for wives, because these same qualities
In a man would bore a woman to tears
and she would not willingly bring down
on her head the calamity of having q
husband who was afflicted with them.
You can see this difference In the
point Of view Of the sexes at any social
function. Only the pretty girls receive
any attention from the men. The
homely ones line the walls. You cannot
imagine any good-looking young man
devoting himself to girl who Is fat
and red-faced and triple-chinned and
bald-headed, no halter how WISE and
witty she may be.
If women were like men, and they
put the taboo on every man who wasn't
young and slim and who didn't have
vanished hair and look like the ndver-
tisement of Kollege Kut clothes, no
hostess could scrape together enough
couples to give dinner party and there
would be nothing stirring In society.

Among my acquaintances are, several
women who have every desirable quail
ify that woman can possess, except
beauty. They are clever and cultured I;
they bubble over with humor and good
nature; they see life gayly and are the
most interesting and fascinating of
Companions; they are domestic; they
are anectionate and sympathetic and
understanding.
They would make the most wonderful
wives in the world. Their husbands
would be petted and made much OF !;
they would have wives who would make
them perfect homes and who would
help them in every way. Their hus-
bands would never know dull moment
al home, never he bored, for they would
find in their wives the most stumulat-
ing of chums.
But nature gave these women plain
faces and, in consequence, the men have
passed them by. They have never had
d. beau, never a proposal of marriage.
Men have ridden by their doors and
raarried doll-faced little fools Of whom
they tired before the honeymoon was
over.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-10-13

But women use more intelligence
in measuring men than men do In
measuring women, and they put
good looks at their rightful place
in the scaIe--desirable but not
necessary, and far outclassed by a
dozen other attractions.
A woman doesn't care what color
a mans hair is, or whether he's
got any hair at air so long as he's
rot brains in his head. A woman
doesn't even look at u mans waist,
line IL he can hand out an enter
tanning line of conversation. A
woman isn't half so interested in
the size Of mans collar as she s
in the size Of his heart, and the
thing that attracts her to man Is
net his being easy on the eyes but
easy to trust. h
Homlinesa Is no bar to any man
winning any woman he wants for
wife provided he has the intelli-
gence and charm Of manner, and
the strength and manliness that
women set far above personal APP
pearance in their Judgment of a
man, but an ugly woman hns
practically no chance at all Of
ever being noticed by any man, no
matter what beauties Of heart and
soul and intellect she may posses.

The first district, which is the
Eastern Shore, is normally Demo-

part of Baltimore city and Baltimore

In Toilette Is Strong.

There are many Democratic leaders
who would not be surprised if La
Toilette were second in the contest.
especially after his speech in Boston
Thursday night, when he addressed
1000 enthusiastic hearers. John w.
Davis has not appeared in MasSachu
settS, but Gov. Smith of New York
spoke for him most effectively. If ii
were not for the fact that thousands
of Democrats are going to vote for
Coolidge the feeling would prevail
that he would fall below the Hardin Z
total, because of the signs that La
Toilette strength is rising.
Senator Walsh has had the hardest
fight of his political career. He has
canyassed the entire State. with and

able politicians have furnished the
