American Men Crude Lovers
By HORTENsE SAUNDERS

New York, April 3.-The American
man is crude lover, possibly. but
Il marvellous husband, according to
Georgette Leblanc, the French singer
and actress, who has recently added
to her fame by conducting "love
clinics here.
1.-The American woman is respon-
sible for the situation" she says.
"Shc has been too busy with her many
interests to give the time to the tech
nique of love that her European sister
does.
"She's never taken the trouble to
develop a lover as well as husband.
She simply has set her sutton TO the
job of supporting her while she goes
her merry way.
"Then she notices the willy ways
of the imported lovers of the screen
and thinks herself abused because
she has a good Woodworking hus-
band, bringing home the pay envelope
each week instead of Romeo with a
flair for balcony speeches.
"And possibly she loses her hus-
bands love because some vamp, who
has cultivated the. art of love and
the science of coquetry, lures him
away with n promise of the romance
his wife has denied him."
Our men have all the latent r0-
mantle possibilities of Ramon Ma
yarro, Rodolph Valentino and Count
Salm, and more, she claims, because
they are the most generous race IN
the world, but unless the women
develop something of the lure OF
CLEOPATRA and Helen of Troy, these
possibilities will remain latent.
american women have never had
to develop their charms to the ut
most, because things are SO easy for
them. There are plenty Of men to so
around, and tn emen are very sus'
ceptible.
IAN American woman need only
have a baby stare. and she arouses
an impulse for protection in the men
about her. On the continent a help
less woman is regarded as very Dor
ing" =
Madame Leblanc contends there is
no such thing as a broken heart
only a deflation of the Imagination.
If a woman wants a great love

Quoted

"The cruel. coarse, stupid and de ceitful Russian government is such be- cause the society 1t rules is morally weak Leo Tolstoy.
 One cannot read the essays, novels and proverbs of the great Tolstoy with. out wondering why he was permitted to live and die in peace on his estates rather than in Il Siberian dungeon. But although constantly under surveillance by the police-his home ransacked many times during his absence for evidence of revolutionary literature-he re- mained immune from persecution be. cause he was an aristocrat, and further more, Russia's foremost writer of worldwide renown.
 Aside from his many works of fic- tion, with which most of us are famil. jar, his voluminous essays best express the true Tolstoy and the reformatory doctrines for which he stood and la bored. He preached against Christian ity as practiced in Russia under the leadership of the Orthodox Greek church, which, he said, had perverted the teachings of Christ with a "struc- ture of falsehood.'" His creed was a belief in Christ devoid of dogma.
 Although soldier in his youth, he taught doctrine of non resistance, and was equally pronounced in his ideas about drinking and smoking. holding that these practices but stupefied the understanding and did no possible good.
 His life in his latter years was one of stern, uncompromising morality that few of us have been able to emulate, if we would.
