SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
Spoiled Husbands
BY Helen Rowland

Spoiled Husbands
VTERILY, my Daughter. she that
' walketh unto the altar to
meet a lover, returneth always
upon the arm Of a total stranger.
Behold, while my Beloved was
a bachelor he lived as bachelor,
and was full of n1eekness and
lcng-suffering; but now that he is
MARRIED, he requireth all the
tributes and the comforts that are
due an husband!
Go to. He that once reposed
happily upon beds of Jumps, Is
now filled with rebellion IL there
be q wrinkle in his sheet; and MS
mattress must be smoother than
a fresh-cut lawn and softer than
woInan's telephone voice.
He that once snatched his sus-
tenance in quick.lunch cafetertas
hath now become as peevish con.
corning his food as a prin1a
donna; and half moments diff
ference in the broiling OF his
mutton chop or the cooking OF
his omelet Is matter Of mighty
import.
He that once grasped the near
est garments at hand with which
to clothe himself is now wroth
unless his shirts be laid out and
his hose darned; and a missing
button Is a tragedy in his life
He that once flung his clothes
to the four winds now requireth
collar buttons and shoe horns to
appear at his call as II by magic,
shoes to walk toward him when
he whistleth, coats to adjust
themselves upon their hangers ana
pajamas to fold themselves away
neatly within the chiffonier drawer.
He that once rejoiced over a
''home dinner" of canned things
and cold cuts now requireth per-
feet soups and flaky buildings and
hot waffles and French salads to
tempt his palate.
He that once slumbered sweetly
and soundly amid the confusion
and noises Of bachelor apart"
ment, while the roysterers and
the wild radios made night hid
eous, is now petulant at the
squeaking OF door or the rafting
OF window; and the sight of a
cobweb upon the ceiling arouseth
him to violence.
For q bachelor endureth all the
discomforts of life and Is happy.
But he that is welded knoweth
that a WIFE is a worker Of
miracles, who can turn servants
from human beings into stained
glass saints; who can tame wild
janitors and cause tradesmen to

an effect that probably aston

Bateson himself. He thought
that he was addressing only tech

that the great body of intelligent
newspaper readers had been listen

played it's part in the famous
Tennessee trial. Prof. Bateson
has since died, and recently Prof
r. H. Morgan, OF Columbia Uni
versity, in a brief sketch in
Science has clearly indicated
the attitude OF Bateson toward
Darwin's theory of natural selec.
ton as an explanation of the origin
OF species. Bateson was an inde-
pendent thinker, not to be daunt'
ed by the greatness OF anybody's
reputation for authority" With
out casting the slightest doubt
upon the doctrine Of evolution as
q whole he thought the OAR
winians had been going too fast
and too far in some of their
speculative details. He was
strongly impressed by the dis

thought" bore no demonstrable
relation to the particular environ
ment in which they lives"
Human Aspect
On that part Of evolution which
has the greatest interest for the
general reader, and which is the
battle front of the evolution
war;" viz: its human aspect,
Bateson had decided views, which
strike into political and social
fields. He was deeply impressed
by the immense variability OF
the human stock" The reach of
this is shown by quotation
given by Prof. Morgan:
"How hard it is to believe the
wild species, not even among the
phisms approaching to this. I
never cease to marvel that the

offspring from their crosses.
Nothing but this paradoxical fact
prevents us from regarding many
classes Of Englishnen as distinct
species in the full sense Of the
term. The problem that con-
fronts the political philosopher is
to find a system by which these
differentiated elements may con-
tinue together to form a CO"
ordinated community while each
element remains substantially
contented with it's lot.
On the basis of biological OBJ
servation, Bateson even affirmed
that while democracy regards
class distinction as evil, we per-

World War almost equals one Of

biologists are so much concerned
with reference to their bearing on
the origin OF species. Certain 1t Is

people rub their eyes in astonish.
n1ent and dismay, for to many or
them the world seems to have been
changed overnight, and they feel
as IL the very foundations or the
old order had crumbled into dust.
At such a juncture the science
Of life assumes a more vivid inter
est for everybody, and that science
now more than ever bases itself on
the principles Of evolution. But
evolution itself, as doctrine grow

subject to the universal upheayal,

of evolution, abandoning old holds

Nothing is to be gained by any
attemp: to turn attention away

developed in the details Of evolu-
tionary theory. It is far wiser that
they should be frankly and plainly

OUTFIT FOR
BRIDGE
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
- Is It proper to wear q hal
during a luncheon and bridge
which Is to be given at hotel?
2. If so, is large dress hat
required?
8. And IL a hat is not worn
does one check both hat and
coat?
4. What kind Of a dress would
be proper to wear?
s. Could I wear a formal dress
and put short sleeves in, or
would that be too dressy?
ANXIOUS TO KNOW.
Yes, hats are usually worn.
2. Not necessarily. But a
large hat is often worn, since a
large hat Is often associated with
a more "dressy" costume, espe'
cially in this year of unusually
lovely large hats. The point Is TO
the costume.
8. Yes, but you would be safer
in wearing your hat. Usually
there is a check.room indicated
for the convenience of the party,
and here they leave their wraps.
4. For a luncheon and bridge
wear your best formal day-dress.
If it Is in summer, one OF the
lovely chiffons or crepes would
be appropriate.
S. Do you mean a formal eve.
ming dress with the addition OF
short sleeves. This would not
be in good taste. Wear an after
noon dress.
