will believe 1t an absolute proof Of
undying devotion.
And the married man knows that
there is one sure short cut to vir-
tually every wonans heart. 1t is
pity. And so he begins his love-
making by telling the girl that his
wife does not understand him, that
she is not his real soulmate, that
they have nothing In common, and
that his home is bleak. and barren,
and unhappy. Generally he accuses
his wife of being human iceberg,
while he is a perfect geyser of love
and tenderness. And then he means,
."Oh, why did we not meet in timer"
And the poor little idiot Of a girl I'M
dertakes the consolatirn role.
OF course, all of this effective love
play is more or less impossible to
the bachelor. He lacks the technique
of the married man. He cannot APP
peal to a womans sympathies, or
pose before her in he role Of a
martyr. He can only make lcIe in
the commonplace old way, and It
cramps his style.
But the real reason that the mar
ried man Is a devil among women
is just the same old reason that made
Eve listen to the serpent.

a bargain table, where each was de-
termined to have it just because
the others desired it, you have the
psychological explanation Of why a.
girl falls for a married man that
she wouldn't look at If he were sim
gle.
Also, women are the adventurous
sex. They love to play with dan
ger as a child plays with fire, and
a large part of the lure Of the mar
ried man consists in the fact that a
girl knows that when she has an
affair with one, she is risking every
shred Of her reputation, and gam
bling with her happiness, and that
any minute she may be cited as a
correspondent, and dragged into the
slime of the divorce courts.
Also, the average girl is simply
stopping over with romance, and
of being wooed under the rose than
she does in an above board, honest
to-God courtship. There is some
thing about the secrecy of a love in
trigue with a married man, about
the surreptitiOus letters, about the
stolen rendezvous, that thrills her to
the core Of her being. 1t makes her
feel SO desperately wicked, like one
of the grand passion heroines of her
favorite novels, who cried "All for
love, and the world we'll lost" as
she chucked her bonnet over the
windmill

1t is because the married man is
the only man in the world who is
out of her reach, and whom she has
no right to try to grab; it is because
some other woman has set her seal
OF approval on him by marrying
him; it is because an illicit love cpl
sode is a streak of lurid romance in
her dnab days, that the little Totties
and Ffossies are able to see the hero
of their girlish dreams in the fat,
bald-headed, middle-aged men for
whom, they work, and the Mauds
and Gwendolyns imagine that they
have found their affinities in some
ordinary commonplace married man,
who would bore them to tears if his
wedding ring did not give a fictitious
value in their eyes.

Dearest Aunt Julia and All: will tell you
little about Our Flag" On June IA,
III 146 years ago. the continental congress
of the United States adopted the ensign Of
the United states flag. On the same day
committee composed of General George
Washington, Robert Morris and George
Ross, called on Mrs, Betsy Ross, wife of
John Ross, nephew Of one Of the commit
tee members, and asked her to undertake
sewing Of the flag. She agreed to the task
but made the suggestion that the stars in
the field Of blue be made Of five points in
stead of six, had been originally planned
She made the first flag, and it was ac-
cepted. After making the first flag, she
received the contract TO make all govern
ment flags. This contract she retained until
her death, and the business was then car
ried on by her daughter until 1851 'Our
flag" "Old Glory" made from the blood of
our heroic dead. cleaned by the blood of
our fathers and the tears of our mothers.
Now, dear Aunt Julia, I hope I will see
this in print. Come on, all good-looking
boys and girls, and write to me, for I sure
do get lonesome. l am jolly girl and
lover of all kinds OF sports. l hope I
haven't broken dear Aunt Juia's rules, !

on the married man as big game, and
when they bring one down they feel
II they had captured an elephant in

There are girls who boast of their
conquests among married men, and
who have no little heart that they
delight in watching the agonies Of
jealousy that they inflict on the poor
defenseless wife.
Many young women are likewise
sold-diggers, and these virtually con-
fine their attentions to married men.
as wealthy bachelors are few and
Well-to-do, middle-aged married men
are plentiful and also easy.
Why the married man who starts
out as a Lothario is an easy winner
of feminine hearts is perfectly OBJ
vious. To begin with, he has the
same advantage that the widower
has over the single man. He is a
professional, so to speak instead Of
an amateur lover.
He has the educat ton In women
that only marriage can give a man.
