Woman s Day

That women criticize their hus-
bands freely to most anyone and
everyone, whereas a man never says
word against his wife, no matter
how much she may offend him, is
the rather serious charge made BY
H. L. Mencken, who, as one of our
nations foremost bachelors, knows
all there is to know about men,
women and marriage.
I hate agreeing, but I believe
H. L. M. is right. Just try listening
in on a woman to-woman confab in
any restaurant or movie, and then
try it on a male tete-a-tete. HuS-
bands will feature the first CONVEX
sation and one will amazed to think
that any woman would so dissect
her spouse to another. But a wife's
name is rarely and almost never
heard in a male conversation.
It's probably because the female
nature loves the personal, due to
her heritage of generations OF
home-staying women. A mans life.
on the other hand, has given him
a wider horizon, an interest in the
impersonal. It's not a matter Of
contrast in sex Royalties; it's a mat
ter of contrast of sex interests.

Ne. Too!

I like Mencken's observations on
church weddings, too. I don't think
he's bit strong when he says:
Church weddings are primitive
orgies in the worst taste. Being
married with all your friends about
you is about as private and dis
eliminating as eating in the window
of a Child's restaurant And the
people who go to these church we'd
dings! The same class as go to flu
nerals exactly. Scrawny- necked old
women and little girls whose shoes
hurt their feet"
Well, we don't know about all
that last. But have marveled for
many year at the calm way in
which two people who really must,
and probably do, love one another,
submit to a months long orgy Of
getting engraved invitations and
announcements, confering with
chefs and caterers and florists, re-
hearsing, lining up the gifts on the
wedding tables, presenting ushers'
and bridesmaids gifts, tossing bou-
quets, and, in short, making a spec
tacle and a parade of themselves
and their emotions for onlookers
who lump weddings and weekend
parties and funerals and first nights
and fashion shows all in the same
class.

But the trouble is too often that
he finds it impossible for monetary
reasons, to look around much. He
takes the first thing that comes
along, and because it is a job and
because it means a weekly pay en-
velop he is forced to stick by it,
whether he likes it or not, because
ne needs the funds. He never is
given an opportunity to look for
something he may like better, for
something that suits his capabilities
more thoroughly.
But no young person has a right
to feel the sting of failure because
he has tried two or three jobs and
found himself unsuited for the work.
The fact of the matter is, it is not
a question of his suitability to the
work as much as it is the works
