The Revolt of Man.

The Revolt of Man.
HEAR now, my Daughter. the
IL the Complaint of a Cynic,
which every man chanteth in his
heart.
Alas, alas, saith the Cynic,
sing not of arms and the man
but Of legs and the woman!
For, 10, am weary OF behold
ing them! Yet, wheresoever l go,
they smite mine eyes and offend
my sense of beauty!
am as an omnibus-conductor,
unto whom nothing in silk stock
ings Is a treat. and for whom life
holdeth no surprises and no thrills.
For, that which was once a
privilege hath become an afflic-
tion--and that which was a mat
ter of chance, hath become a
matter OF course.
Yea, verify, am weary Of legs
and Of the sight of legs!
OF piano legs balanced saucily
upon high French heels, and
crossed coquettishly beneath frlv-
oIous skirts.
Of angular legs, in invisible
hosiery" that resemble an appeal
for Starving Armenia"
OF thick ankles adorned with
embroidered clocks.
OF tenuous ankles, like linked
sweetness long drawn out or
inI ~ barrel
Of rouged knees above rolled
stockings-and of knotty knees
protruding beneath cutey cutey
bathing suits.
OF long flat feet camouflaged
with glittering buckles-and or
stubby feet in brocaded pumps.
OF g~otesque legs adorned n
ribbons-and of beefy legs painted
with butterflies to accentuate their
unsightliness.
OF bowed legs that trip jauntily
down the avenue-and of knock
kneed legs that skim airly Eron
the dancing floor.
OF fat legs, skinny legs, purple
legs, red legs and sunburned legs
strewn upon the bathing beach!
Surely, the Venus de Milo was
a wise and subtle woman-for
neither her legs nor her arms
were left visible!
And the more a woman display
eth of her charms, the less hath
a. man left to dream about!
Verify a fleeing glimpse of a.
feminine ankle was once the
THRILL of a mans life; but now
it hath come to pass that a leg
is only q leg,

such lovely women she can't hurt
their feelings by refusing to lis
ten. Moreover, 1t sounds so self
ish and snippy to insist on at
tending to your own affairs when
they want to talk about theirs.
They'll think she's queer and
stuck up and-Oh, what SHALL
she do?
There's a complaint that might
arise from anyone of thousands
of American homes any morning
in the week. Idle housewives
killing time for busy ones, work
piling up, engagements being
scrambled, and the same record
of unfinished work and ruffled
tempers at the end of the day.
Yet, what shall we do? Jenny's
so sweet-and Mrs. Peters is such
a cat that we don't dare offend
her, and
What'H you do. ladies'? Do what
any sensible working man would
do under the circumstances. How
does Dad run his office? Does
he let Sam take up an hour of
his time with phone gossip. Does
he let Harry drop in from across
the hall and wreck his days
program? I'll say he doesn't. He
grins cheerfully and says: Hello.
old man-it's great to haer from
you--sorry l can't talk-gotta
whale of a day ahead-goodbyC-
see you again" That's what Dad
does. Are Jim and Sam offended?
Not at all. They're used to that
sort of thing. It's the way offices
are run and they expect it.
Why can't homes be run that
way? Are homes not as valuable
as offices? Doesn't a busy wife
and mother have as much to do
as her husband, and shouldn't
she see that work is done? Isn't
that homework HER way of earn
ing her living and isn't she fall
ing down on her job if she does
it in an irregular way? And
why shouldn't she be able to
make her friends understand these
facts? Are women so much more
stupid or unreasonable than men?
And having asked yourself
these questions, there are two
more-Is YOUR home being run
as an office or a CAB factory?
Who's to blame If the work is
unfinished and YOUR nerves are
frizzed at the end Of the day?

Yes. you had it all planned

And then, just as you started to
crash into it, the phone rang and
there was Jenny! And you knew
you were in for an hour of it!
What did an hour mean to
Jenny? Nothing at all. Jenny
lives in furnished-rooman and
kitchenette apartment and her
husband was off on the road most
of the time. So naturally. Jenny
loves to sit in bed and phone to
all her friends to pass the time
away. What does she say? You
couldn't remember ten minutes
after she was through. But for
exactly fifty-seven minutes Jenny

the dishes stood unwashed and
the beds waited and Evelyn

would only be necessary, then for

be more or less approximative,
because the watch would only
keep mean time and follow the
mean sun, while the real sun
would now be ahead of the watch
and now behind. But these
variations would not be Of serious

Any other meridian than that
of Greenwich would serve a sim.

thing being to have some fixed

tically the whole world uses the
meridian of Greenwich for the
sake of uniformity. 1t is to be
remembered that each hour of
