WOMAN IS LIKE
A PIANO, SAYS
MARCELINE
Will Be Sharp or Flat, Accord
ing to How You Strike Her,
She Tells Ad Club

And I learned about women
from 'er," chorused the members
of the Advertising Club, after lis
tening to the address of Marcelina
d'Alroy at the weekly luncheon
meeting in the City Club today.
The Kipling quotation formed an
adequate appraisal of the speech
of the PRETTY French writer and
actress, whose acute observations
on her own sex are carried in hun
dreds of American newspapers
daily.
Mile. d'Alroy's talk to the admen
was along the same lines as her
daily feature article. You Said 1t,
MarceIinev'
Woman Is Like Piano.
"A woman is like a piano." was
her startling and somewhat para-
doxical opening. "She may be a
little upright or she may be a
table grand but in any case she
is a mixture of black and white
notes, of vanity and humility, of
selfishness and self4sacrifice, in
tensely tolerant trustingly
simple
And as the advertising men tee
tered forward in their chairs to alb
sorb this wisdom she continued:
1t all depends how you play on
her whether she will produce har-
mony or discord.
Why Some Are Out of Tune.
Some women seem often out of
tune, probably because they are
continually being thumped on by
some inexperienced player; but ac-
tually all they need is a rest.
"A woman responds readily to
the touch of an artist. Therefore,
1t is up to the men to learn to play
intelligently; for it all depends on
how you strike a woman whether
she will be sharp. be flat or be
natural"

we say philosophical is playing at
