Women; Opinions Differ

Have Kennewick women got
ssit"? This is a question which a
great many persons may wonder
about--a question which has and
probably will remain unsatisfact-
orily answered. "It," of course, is
used in the Elnor Glyn sense,
meaning an elusive quality COM
monty known as personality or
appeal. Whether Kennewick's fair
sex have ct" or not is open to
question if the opinion of the male
population of the town has any
value. However, in justice to the
women, the majority of persons
seem to believe that they have.
A Kennewick man was inter-
viewed today who declared vehem-
unattractive girls of any town in
the state. He added further that
he had observed that a large NUM-
Der of Kennewick men went about
with girls from outside towns,
mostly from Pasco. This view of
the matter was rather disheaten-
ing and other men were asked
their opinion of Kennewick wom-
en-. One poor fellow must have
been in love or in somebody's cell
lar, for he at once waxed eloquent
ON the subject. The girls of the
town were praised as being divine,
marvelously f air, Incompatible!
sThis is the most wonderful town
in the world" he said CONFIDENTIAL
ly. IT would like to stay here for
ever. The girls are so beautiful,
graceful, lovable. Why I know
one little girl who is perfection
personified- ETC., etc."
This fellow was left behind. 1t
was apparent to even a mere man
that he was not capable of ex-
pressing balanced opinion.
The next man sought out was not
inclined to discuss the affair. II
don't know whether they have Sit
or not" he said, ''but / saw some
swimming who certainly had plen-
ty Of sunburn."
A travelling salesman for . to-
bacco company was asked for his
opinion regarding the local wo-
men. II couldn't say" was his
answer, "they all look alike to me-
Just take 'em as they are, or
leave 'em and go somewhere else"
A coupic Of the towns sh'ekieat
shieks we're met and their views
solicited. Woe unto the girls!
They were damned as hopeless, UNI
attractive, unappreciative and un-
interesting.
Subsequent conversation devel-
oped the fact that both young men
had tried 20 make a date the eve
ming before and failed.
The 90 ,ervations of perfect
stranger in tn etown was received
next. "Hot stuff" said he. "Know
anyone who would feel like step
ping out Saturday night?" Such
information was denied.
Finally man was seen stand
ing on . streetc orner looking for
all the world as tho he had lost
his best friend or meal ticket.
Have Kennewick women got sit?'
he was asked. "Guess So" was the
reply. They've got everything
else. What did you lose Z"
The last person talked to was
one of the towns most industrious
and highly thought Of citizens. His
opinion of the towns feminity was
asked and he made reply as fol-
lows: "a few years ago 1 thought
they were the most perfect women
in the world. One girl especially
q deemed the acme of all that was
desirable. However, lately I've
changed my mind. Once in a
while I still think they're pretty
good, but not so much 30 now"
What made you change your
opinion about the women here"
was the next query.
WELL" said he, "you see mar
ried one"
