OF them could have given a child
a clean, helpful account OF sex.
II this is true Of we'll educated,
sophisticated Americans-and it Is
true of such Americans In every
community-consider the condi-
tion Of the average unenlightened
parent.
But even this amazing ig-
norance isn't the worst part of
the situation. Sex curiosity and
sex excitement arise at 4 very
early age and all the taboos in
the world won't keep them stifled.
Children will wonder, and IL their

wise and friendly adults, they'll
be answered in other ways, far
less desirable. Those who rave
against the idea of sex being
taught in schools overlook the
fact that sex has always been

never been taught scientifically
or inspirationally, by experts. 1t
has been taught and Is being
taught in Swallowed corners and
dingy Mushrooms. in filthy half

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland.
Providers or Pets
THERE are two klnds OF hus.
i bands-Providers and Pets.


i bands-Providers and Pets.
The Good Provider IL a fur buy
ing animal, cash register, and q
producer Of bacon, bonds, bunga-
lows and automobiles.
He Is useful, but not necessarily
decorative. He possesses all OF the
solid qualities, but few Of the
lighter graces. He doesn't NEED
them!
The Pet, on the other hand,
must know q thousand parlor
tricks and respond to the touch,
like a bridle-Wise pony. He must
be able to dance divinely, order q
perfect dinner, run any make Of
car, shake the cocktails, wipe the
dishes, take the Pekingese for q
walk, and boost his wife's game.
He must wear his clothes with
dignity and dash, keep his chin
shaved and his haberdashery
smartly immaculate. Jolly the serv.
ants, play a good game OF bridge,
receive his wife's guests with 4
graceful flourish, and act az din
ner-tabie decoration.
He should cultivate 4 taste for
poetry and chamber music, prac-
tice a perfect "line," and know
just when to bring home flowers.
Some men, alas, are neither Pro-
viders nor Pets. They are born to
be eternal bachelors.
They are too lazy, too inefficient
or too selfish to provide for any
woman, and they would not WORK
for the best woman alive. On the
other hand, they have neither the
talents nor the graces Of Pet.
They are too unwieldy. too clumsy,
too phlegmatic or too sslf-indulgent
to waltz around after any woman
and play gallant to her vanity and
Whims.
They are not even good natured
or sweet-tempered, which is the
primary requisite Of Pet, but live
entirely to satisfy their palates,
doze, read the newspapers and
smoke pipes or black cigars. They
soon lose their figures and acquire
double chin, a set Of habits, and
a chronic crouch.
Lastly, there are few rare men,
who are both Good Providers and
possessed Of all the charms and
accomplishments Of the Perfect
Pet.
But, by some sad trick OF fate,
these desirable and delightful men
always seem to be m9rried 10 little,
domestic gray mice who do not
appreciate" them.
At least, that's what they SAY,
when they are looking 10 your
eyes!
