ing protection. But 1t wasn't
pretty. 1t was the bunk!
The real truth was that
women weren't upon pedestals
that they might be guarded and
worshiped-they were up there
to keep them out Of the way.
Man might. and did call woman
his Guiding Star, but legally, she
rated with cattle, slaves and
idiots. Bad days for women and
even worse for men. We have
all paid dearly for these fancy,
hollow pedestals which women
once occupied.
But now woman is down from
her pedestal for good and has
landed square on the earth with
men. She has shorn the curls
from her ears and the flounces
from her knees-and clamped a
flag to her ruby but rambuncti-
Gus lips. AS a Guiding Star
she's a flop, but as a Partner
and a Human Being she is about
to become the finest phenomena
which the world has ever seen.
For she has come into her own
at last-into that deep, fruitful
Commences which she should
share with the soil and her mate
and God. AS for mans respect
she isn't going to lose it, my
dear, for she never really had it.
But she'll begin to gain it at last.
And il that silly little cigarette
has FASTENED that day, more

An insulting statement? Not

SAYINGS OF
.MRS.SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland.

Lighting the Flame Of Love
CONSIDER my maxims and
" heed my wisdom, oh my
Daughter.
The Washington times., 1927-10-22

Lighting the Flame Of Love
CONSIDER my maxims and
" heed my wisdom, oh my
Daughter.
For, 10, I have known one man
well, and many men little: and
they are unto me more simple
than words of one syllable. and
more easily read than the electric
sign upon Main Street. Yet,
where l have been STUNG, thou
mayest walk in safety.
I charge thee, seek not to light
the flame In a mans heart by
finging kerosene upon it. but
let the fire of love burn SLOWLY;
for the end thereof is ashes!
Go to. Love is not like unto a
holocaust which burneth out
within the hour; but like unto
rice pudding which simmereth
long over light flame. And a
wise damsel knoweth when it is
done; but a foolish damsel con-
tinueth to pile on the fuel and
stir up the fire until it is BURNT
OUT.
Behold, when a. man first
kisseth a damsel, her thoughts
leap unto the altar; she sigheth
for an avowal and a solitaire and
yearneth to settle things"
Yet, whether 1t be love or a
question, or champagne or o
quarrel, that which is Settled"
is FINISHED in a mans eyes.
Verify, when the uncertainty
passeth and the DOUBT goeth
out of love, it becometh as wine
wherefrom the fizz and the
sparkle have departed, exceeding
flat.
Behold, after the third kiss,
damsel is like unto a crossword
puzzle that hath been solved; a
novel, the last chapter of which
hath been read in advance!
But, a WIFE is like unto a
book that hath been read from
the beginning unto the end. She
holdeth NO surprises. For, how
can a man find novelty in a
woman, when he knoweth the In!
gradients OF her makeup, the
source of her beauty, and all
the workings of her mind?
How shall he wax sentimental
concerning the waves of her hair
when he hath paid the bill for
her permanent" How shall
he be thrilled by her subtle
fragrance" when he knoweth the
exact price of her sachet and
her bath salts?.
Go to, my Daughter. Seek not
to hasten mans love; for forced
fruit lacketh flavor; but the
sweet melon ripeneth slowly in
the sun. And the tenderest kiss
is the one that hath not YET
been taken!
Verify, verify, a mans love
liz not a continuity" but a daz-
zling revue" with a constant
change Of words, music and
scenery.
Blessed is the woman that
knoweth when the play is OVER;
for she shall wake up" in time,
and depart before the lights are
out!
