We Women

Edith, The Girl Who Exaggerates TDITH was born with a magnify FI ing glass in her hand. It is inn
 possible for her to see people or things as they naturally are. A pretty girl is the most ravishingly bautitul girl she has ever seen in her whole life. She extols her to the skies. An ugly sirl is the most horrible, repulslve looking creature without one redeemlng feature. There is no halfway with Edith. The pendulum swings from one extreme to the other and it is always in extremes that she talks.
 When she has a slight cold she is sure she is going to die. She IS terribly sick! She knows no one ever had cold like hers. She expands and mag nifies every symptom. And she sud- denly yeers from the depths of depres- sion to the heights of exuberance when the world is grand, gorgeous and lovely.
 She is type.
 She is the Girl Who Exaggerates.
 q saw the most awful street car accident today. 1 am sure everybody must have been killed. The noise of the smashing glass and the splintering of wood could be heard for miles and miles! It was perfectly terrible v grasped Edith. As a matter of fact it was discovered that no one was badly injured and only few persons were shaken up. Two cars bumped into each other with little damage even to the cars. But to Edith every accident is the worst that could possibly happen.
 Where Edith is there is sure to be a lot of excitement She keeps things lively. She is one of the most popular girls in town. It doesn't make any difference how old or how young her audience is-she can entertain all ages. Her friends realize that everything she says has to be taken with a grain of salt, but that doesn't make any differ ence to them. She has such a graphic, intense manner of relating even the simplest facts that she holds her listen CTS spell-bound.
 It is delightful to hear her tell of a shopping tour. She sees the most mar vicious things that no one else sees. Her friends, entranced by her flights of imagination and extravagant word pie lures, have urged her to write fiction.
 She is a type.
 She is the Girl Who Exaggerates.

MyNeighborSays

Here are hints that are worth framing and hanging in the kitchen : Don't pour water on burning fat. Don't throw sugar on fire.
 Don't fill lamps after dark or when lighted.
 Don't use gasoline in the house. Don't start fire with kerosene. Don't keep matches within reach of children.
 'If fat takes fire, throw flour, salt, baking powder or sand on the flame. If lamp takes fire toss it out of doors, cover with rug or throw on salt, baking powder or flour.
 "If the chimney gets on fire, burn salt or sulphur in the fireplace pour sand down the chimney.
 If fire starts in closet, beat it out with a broom and water.
 If the bed gets on fire, push the mattress on the floor and beat it with wet brooms."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-21

Why do you want to wreck your life at it's very beginning? Why are you in such hurry to plunge yourself into misery? Why do you want to marry any man when you are not in love with him, for you certainly have only a passing fancy for a boy if you doubt your own affection for him. Think it all over for the next five or six years and then you won't marry either one of them, but you will choose a man who won't have to be reformed and whom you will know that you love.

has come to look with suspicious
 eye upon even the most casual
 kindness that a man extends to his
 fellow workers of the female per-
 suasion. Especially when they are
 young and good looking.
 For a man to be seen out lunchine with a pretty, little, bob-haired secre tary, or to take her home in his car could set the tongues of gossip wagging though his interest might be as innocent and paternal as that of any grandpa who ever fed a hungry youngster, ol gave lift to a tired one. But nobody would believe it, because the movies and the lurid melodramas and the sex novels portray the tired business mar as wolf in sheeps clothing, and every working girl as either an abnormally innocent lamb or as chief of the home wrecking crew.

Dear Miss Dix: Would you think it advisable for a 16-year-old girl who has been brought up in a lovely home, and with every advantage ahead of her, to marry boy a few years older than she? The girl really loves him, and is assured of his affection, but she loves another person almost as we'll, though not exactly in the same way.
 Do you think it probable that a boy who has given up drink and wild girls because he loves this girl would return to them after they are married?
 THE GIRL.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-21

Answer:
 Probably a reversion to type, brother. We don't seem to have gotten far from our cave ancestors when a man went out and wooed his mate with a club, and dragged her back into his dugout by her lovely red hair. Most women still have a secret hankering for that type of courtship, and probably even the most advanced of her sex prefers a husband of whom she is a little afraid to one who is not only too much a gentleman to strike her, but even to assert his authority as head of the. house.

Answer 1:

Answer:
 My dear child, any girl of six teen who has a good home and thinks of leaving it to get married should be locked up in some safe place until her temporary insanity passes. And any girl of sixteen who ever dream of doing such a suicidal thing as getting married when she doesn't know which of two boys she likes the best should be put in a padded cell. She's violently crazy with homicidal ten dencies.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-21

As for a woman's mistaking the nature of a mans attentions, that is the commonest thing in life. The ability to believe that every man who is polite to her cherishes a passion for her is Gods great est gift to woman. It salves the wounds life deals her vanity. You will always find that the less at- tractive woman is the more con- vinced she is that she is a vamp that no man can resist.

I get hundreds of letters from wo- men who write that their husbands beat them, but that they love them still, so evidently feminine admiration for brute strength is great enough to survive per sonal suffering. And there is the classic story of the woman of the tenements who weepingly declared that she be- ieved that her husband had ceased to lov her because he had not given her a black eye for month.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-21

All of which, of course, is tommy
 rot. Less philandering goes on in
 business office than anywhere
 else in the world. Working people
 are concerned with making money
 instead of making love. Filtration
 is a parlor game, not an occupation
 that pulls down a pay envelope.
 Furthermore, the men and women who work side by side are not apt to fall in love, because they see each other clearly and too closely. They get all the disillusions that matrimony would bring without any of its com pensations. The only thing that the average employer ever notices about his women employees is their efficiency, and he is far more concerned about their spelling or their salesmanship than he is about their eyes, And the average woman employe does not see her boss as a figure of romance. She thinks him grouch, and is sorry for his wife, instead of wanting to get him away from her.

But the qualification of physical strength is not confined to women. Men also put brawn above brains, or talent, or anything else, as is witnessed by the fact that men will travel hundreds of miles to witness two brutes pound each other into. a pulp and pay exorbitant prices for the joy of beholding this gory spectacle. The greatest writer, the greatest statesman, the greatest ar tist who ever lived, did not make in lifetime of toll as much as prize fighter makes in a few minutes.
