"Gay NiNeties"

Gus girls" have walked quite a
spell, one reflects, reading current
magazine article by Arnold Bennett
about the woman's magazine which
he edited in 1896.
He reminds us that in that day
a woman did not smoke, she was for
hidden to earn her OWL living;
trailed her skirts in the dust; never
paid more than SIS for hat and SIS
for a dress; wore cotton stockings
and used no perfume; never used
unprintable oaths; never rode alone
in a hanson, if she was respect
able; rode bicycle; did not want
to vote; belonged to no woman's club;
never ate alone in public, and in
short, was everything that most OF
us would prefer passing right out
the picture before being!

Open Season
ON KilljOys
NeUerCIoSeS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON.
Once upon a time there was a
house party of girls.
One of the girls was wet blan-
ket. No matter what the hostess
planned for the entertainment Of
her guests this girl would remark,
"rhe others may do it if they wish,
but please count me out" Tennis,
boating, riding-everything the poor
hostess attempted, found this girl
in a decidedly unreceptive mood.
Even dances had no appeal, unless
the young man produced for her
partner happened to be one some-
one else wanted.
The other girls, better bred, said
they "hated to do things without
Marjorie" They had to give up
everything the hostess planned.
Everybody Unhappy.
The result was that day after day
found the porch crowded with list
less, unhappy girls, with nothing to
do. The dog-in-the-manger young
lady was in her element. The truth
was that her favorite pastime was
spelling the good times of others. 1t
was seldom she had the opportunity
of wet blanketing SO many people at
once.
On a certain day she was secretly
enjoying having leSt her breakfast
untouched. In a few minutes, no
doubt, her hostess would come out,
as usual, and apologize for having
nothing she cared to eat. She might
be persuaded to eat something lit
tie later if she got hungry.
The door opened as she expected
Out came the hostess. Our particu-
lar friend smiled gratified little
smile. But her mouth soon straight
ened.
Hostess Saved Day.
"Girls!" her hostess was saying
pleasantly. IT have planned good
many things that seem to have
fallen through. I am afraid good
manners on the part of most of you
is going to spoil your entire visit.
80 suppose I take things into my
own hands and make each of my
suggestions a command. From now
on I expect each one of you to do
everything say"
That day the joy-killer packed
and left. The edge was off every
thing for her. The hostess told me
of it afterward. She was worried.
Had she done the right thing, she
wondered?
1. I shook her hand. "There is a
time when patience ceases to be a
virtue" congratulated her But
it is a gift from heaven to be good
bouncer."

Sweet LSt Doqqie

The really well-groomed woman
will never thing of appearing in pub
lie with an unperfumed dog! And
if she really knows her style, the
dogs perfume will match her own.
And if she's as chic as she should
be both the dogs and her own per-
fume will vary with costume, mood,
and time of day and occasion.
This is the latest 1t comes from
new animal beauty parlor. The
proprietor very seriously explains
that in this day when women fire.
quent beauty parlors and when
most we'll dressed women lead or
carry dogs, it's absurd to think that
heretofore there has been no place
where dog could get pedicure and
marcel and perfumed bath. '
It's things like this that make one
think that perhaps the careers of
"the modern women" are right,
after all

Girls Crazy About Him

Dear Martha. Lee: Ny mother and I
disagree so violently over the man ! am
engaged to that thought woulo ask
you what you think about this matter. he
crazy about him. but the boys don't like
him-just jealousy. OF course.
Ny mother says he thinks entirely too
much of himself to ever think very much
of me Now he says he loves me; in fact,
that am the c1lly girl he has eyer cared
enough about to propose to- II don't
hold on to him, YOU can bet almost any
OF the other girls would gladly have him.
NY mother says all this and the TACT that
my boy friends can't bear him make her
uneasy for my happiness II marry him.
What do you think? GERALDINE l..
I'm inclined to agree with your
mother very heartily. The young
man is almost certainly not a good
matrimonial ~ Your main activity
as his wife wound consist in keep
ing him from being too much i'm
pressed with his women admirers.
This would be strenuous, perhaps
heart-breaking work, so think twice
before marrying this sheik.

BY ALLENE SUMNER

It's quite possible to swat a man
or woman in the face and get away
with it.. But just try slapping the
face of that same mans or woman's
child Nothing SO stirs humans to
wrath as the smallest offense
against a cnild-that is, if it's their
own child; they themselves might
not be averse to slapping the face of
somebody else's child.

These Days
Times Best
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
Fannie Hurst takes a pessimistic
view of woman's new freedom. She
SAYS we have become parasites and
are worse chattels than our grand
mothers were.
Miss Hurst is probably suffering
from a metropolitan complex. AS
a matter of fact, the twentieth CEN
fury woman, with all of her faults,
is by far the finest product OF her
sex that the world has even seen.
Because she is getting more d.
vorces does not necessarily mean
that she is against marriage. IL
merely indicates that she refuses TO
live unhappily with a man Whom
she does not love, and whereas her
grandmother may have been equally
rebellious at heart, economic condl-
tions forced her to put up with
things that today's wife Will not
tolerate.
But in this maligned America
there are standing beside worthy
husbands hundreds of thousands OF
fine, helpful wives, who are bringing
all of their intelligence and all Of
their energy to furthering the am
billions of the men they love.
Wives are finer now because wnen
they do stick you know it is because
they will and not because they must
Mothers do not have so many chill
dren these days, but they seek with
infinite patience the knowledge that
will enable them to rear better chill
dren. Women are not cooking SO
much food, but they are using more
brains in the preparation OF the
right kind of diets.
When you assert that women are
worse than they used to be, you
merely assert that civilization is go
ing backward. For women are no
better and no worse than the rest
of the population.
There may be many parasitic
women in the cities. gold-diggers
who live off the gullibility of the
men, but these are far outnumbered
by those other city women who
carry their share of domestic and
public burdens; by those faithful,
working wives in the small
towns and rural districts vino are
Just as sensible, just IS decent and
just as loyal as WOMEN have ever
been.
There is no need to worry about
the women; they will always match
up pretty we'll with the men in any
country under the sun.
