Bachelor Is
Missing the
Best in Life
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

You'd be surprised at the number
of men who have risen in wrath
to defend Mr.. Mencken and his
right 70 bachelorhood. Yokels, too
some Of them. Many feel very
deeply upon this subject, it seems
They talk a good deal about free
dom and the right of every man to
live his own life. Several have
pointed out that it is the splendid
brain of the Sage of Baltimore that
saved him from the catastrophe Of
marriage.
One gentleman from Cincinnati
very indelicately says, Every man
don't want to stand hitched TO a
refrigerating car when women are
running around half crazed looking
for a real papa and who offer MIN
everything in the way of a home
minus the nagging features and the
gold digging"
Well, I'll have to state that I
don't believe many men remain I'M
wed for this reason. Bachelorhood
is merely a bad habit that some Of
them have fallen into.
The gentleman from Cincinnati
infers that all men are mere beasts
who marry solely because of the
lusts Of the flesh and to be flattered
and pampered by women. That is
not true. The state of marriage,
more than any other relationship
between men and women, can be
made into something fine and enc
nobling.
1t thrives on thoughtfulness and
self-sacrifice and therefore is good
for the character. 1t begets children
and that is good for body and spirit.
The man who is a father surely
gets something splendid from life
that he otherwise would not possess.
Pessimists these days say that is
merely another way of fattering
oneself and of feeding the ego. It's
more than that, however. 1t is
state of Immortality and the only
real reward for life.
Along 18th everybody else, this
columnist 'ieves in the right of
every man q his own life. Far
be 1t from i. deprive anybody
Of this privilege. = My wish to
point out their mista. to the
bachelors, to cite to them u.s fact
that freedom is not the only fine
thing to have.
Anybody can get it if he lets him
self grow selfish enough. Free peo-
pie don't have such lot of fun,
either. It's the ties of life that
make it worth the living. Home,
family. affection. shelter, babies and
love. These are the only things that
count in the end, and they count
Just as much for men as for women
What's more, the married men
one sees do not appear to be suffer-
ing from restrictions. They have
pretty good time and it's the bache-
lors who do most Of the complain
ing, If you'll notice.

ONE of the most delightful
~ features Of Paris life, if
you have any fondness what
soever, is the continuous sue
cession Of expositions. Leav-
ing out of it the hundreds of
private exhibitions of individ-
ual artists work in the little
galleries dotting the city,
there always are six, eight, or
t e n expositions of wi d e r
scope.
Expeditions Of painting, of the
decorative arts, of home furnish
ing, of the mode, of hair dressing
of advertising art-we could fill this
column without listing them all.
One of this summers most in
teresting exhibits has been the ex-
position of gems, jewelry and the
goldsmith's art at the Musee Gal
liera, one of the municipal museums.
THIS exposition attracted exhibits
Il from a large number of out
standing creators of modern French
jewelry (Which has influenced jew
elry fabrication all over the WORLD
such as Georges and Jean Fouquet,
BOucheron, Lacloche and DuSausoy.
Taken in connection with pre-
vious exhibitions, it shows a re-
markable continued advance and
progress along new lines in an art
that remained stationary for dec
AIDES and decades.
A particularly interesting fea-
ture, and b happy inspiration, was
the display, at the same time, of
the jewel craft of the young work
men and apprentices who are learn
ing today the difficult and skillful
trade they will lead tomorrow.
Clever Fingers Contest
VXTHY be clever without
w showing it? What's the
fun? Be clever and tell others
how-and probably win one of
the very lovely Dah-ray prizes!
The clever fingers contest is
your chance to reward your
own cleverness. It's just a
matter of typewriting on paper
the method of making some
one thing. something you feel
other women would be inter-
ested in knowing.
