DOWOMEN WANT MEN TOBE GOOD?
(By Rosie O'Grady)

in the present and not to be
ignored, male of the species.
In matters of sex, unmarried women
have been kept more or less ignorant,
up to the present generation, while
men have explored this interesting
realm, thereby casting about their sex
glow of mystery an enchanting halo
of WickedneSS, which, since Adams
day, mas been a lure to the feminine
sex, for this is one field in Which
woman has not dared to follow. OF
course, there are exceptions to this
rule among the women, and, of course,
some men are virtuous, but they are
exceptions, too. M
Is it a condition to be deplored, this
laxnesS of morals in men, or is it of
less Importance than would appear on
first consideration? Are there not
other qualities of character which,
when possessed by man, help us
! to overlook to some extent this COM
mon weakness of his sex?
Let us consider the viewpoint of a
young business woman in one OF our
western cities who opened her heart
to friend:
ct had just about lost my faith in
men," she said, "after George turned
out the way he did. Working among
men every day, got lot of inside
dope on their affairs, and the more
I learned about them the lower they
sank in my estimation. The world
was a rotten place, I decided, and
there wasn't decent man left in it.
Then Joe came. The moment looked
into his steady brown eyes, I knew
that the world was wonderful place

81 have a right to demand that the
man 1 marry be just as pure as am"
How often do we hear such words
as the foregoing from the lips of some
thoughtless girl? 81 believe in q
single standard" is another phrase
quite as common. But does she mean
it--this girl who SO unhesitatingly
takes her stand on virtues side? Is
she consistent. and does she, by her
actions, bear out her statement that
a single standard of morals for men
and women is commendable, and a
thing to be desired? No! most en-
phatically no! Not always by word
but by deed, by her attitude toward
the men who are, supposedly virtuouS,
the girl of today demands a double
standard of morals And not only the
girl of today, but looking back through
the ages, we find the same thing
true; though our modern girl seems
to be more frank about it-in her mad
search for thrill she does not realize
that her actions are inconsistent with
her declaration of ideals.
"That silly thing!" one girl indig-
nantly exclaimed when asked if she
had ever been out with certain
young man. 'Why, I'll bet he has
never so much as kissed a girl in all
his life I hate a slow man." That
girl prided herself on her conquests
of men, yet she, would have been
shocked had anyone inSinuated that
she was bad girl. AS she confided
to friend, she got "a big kick out
of leading men on, but she knew
where to draw the line. She never
went the limit"
So long as women take this attitude,
Just so long will virtue not be an OUT
standing quality in men. They do not
want it, and regard it with contempt
wherever found. The more affairs q
man has had with women the more
Intriguing he becomes, the more
Sought after by the fairer sex.
The man who does remember the
Bile tells us that our body is the
temple of Cod and who tries to keep
himself "unspotted from the world
in short, who regards his virtue as
precious-is smiled upon, looked down
on and classed as mollycoddle or
sissy by the majority of women as well
as men.
Now there must be some psychology
cal explanation of this. M n
women are as good as the women in
past generations. Styles and customs
change, but human nature remains
the same. Women still have ideals
and attempt to live up to them. Why
is it, then, that they look upon virtue
in men as a weakness, a liability
instead of an asset?
Let us look into the nature OF
woman and see if we can fathom the
mystery. Let us consider some OF the
qualities the female of the species"
looks for in the male.
First on the list comes strength
Physical strength Man was made
stronger than woman so that he might
be her protector, but in these modern
days of women athletes, mans
strength has lost some OF its Signitl-
canoe.
Next on the list comes intellect.
With the keen business competition
between the sexes that exists today, 1t
is a known fact that the intellect OF
woman equals, and sometimes sur
passes that OF man. Her nature de-
mands that she look up to him and
when woman discovers that mans
superiority is nine-tenths bluff, the
other tenth an unknown quality, she
begins to cast about for something
else which will keep alive her interest
