the purse strings who does the
proposing and Bessie didn't hold

But she does now.
And since she does hold her
own purse strings now, and since
she will probably contribute 90
per cent to the family exchequCr,
she no longer takes what Is
handed her in the matrimonial
line. She knows what she wants
and she goes after it.
The girls are 'phoning to Tom
and Fred, dear Mad Mama, not
because they've lost their modesty
but because they've gained d
pay checker can gain one any
time they wish. It's an economic,
not an ethical change. And
there's nothing we can do about
it.
Would we really like to do,
anything about it?
Would we like to turn the
world back to the old days o;
lessness when there could be no
true equality between men and
women? Would Tom and Fred
really prefer the timid, guarded
girl who had t. take them
whether she wanted them or not,
because she had no other way OF
support? Don't they really like
to feel that the girls they love
and wive in 1925 surrender Of
their own free will?
These times are rough. Very,
very rough. And IL you're a
gentle, timid male. you certainly
have to duck. But aren't thcy

oring for your young hopeful,
you'd know that being a Mama
these days is enough to drive
anyone mad.
Here's a letter from one Of
them, sizzling with righteous in
dignation. It's too long and
warm to be printed on anything
but asbestos, but it says, in part:
Its the girls who do the
counting and the asking these
days. II a young man doesn't
want to be forced into marriage,
he has to hide in the coal bin
or hire a bodyguard. Three
mothers whom / know had had
their telephone removed. They
were annoyed beyond endurance
by girls calling up Tom or Fred.
The boys were no sheiks, either
the mothers old-fashioned. But
they couldn't stand having their
time wasted that way
Yes, sister, it is all too true.
The old-fashioned comic of papa
in his socks and whiskers prowi-
ing down at l a. m, to make
mean remarks about the gas bill
has given place to mama in her
chiffons and cold cream pack
turning on the switch to see Il
she still has soh, or has merely
acquired another daughter. Which.
admit. is little hard on
ladies who like their sleep.
But it's useless for the Mad
Mamas to cry that things weren't
like that when they were girls.
OF course, things weren't like
that. How could they have been?
The world wasn't like that. 1t
was a much quieter place. 1t
didn't have phones or cars or
big apartment houses with no
room for young people-nor Great
White Ways with too much rooal
for them.
Above all. 1t didn't have JOBS

Psychology Of the Red Necltie

A green hat means nothing
but q RED NECKTIE has g
real psychological significance.
It is a revelation of the mascu-
line soul!
The first time a boy feels a
thrill for anything except his
food or his play, he goes right out
and let's his feelings splash over
into a red necktie. It is the first
symbol of his dawning sense OF
beauty, his budding vanity or
his first blobby throb of love.

a man expresses himself-his

bravado, or his poetic soul.

man between these ages wears a

it Is a sign that he is a poet, a

No normal man of 80 would
be found dead in one. He would

blue silk pajamas. He would
feel that red necktie was an
immodest exposure of his inner
