MISS ROBINSON:
I've a bone to pick with you.
I certainly resent the way you
criticize women. You are al
ways saying that men and
women should be given the
same treatment. That sounds
fair, but it really isn't. Women
need, and should have, much
more gentle treatment than
men.
Women Have Faults
Women may have their little
faults, but they are living un-
der strange new conditions and
we mustn't expect too much OF
them in a hurry. When they
get around to it they will do
their share of the worlds work.
and they will do it in bigger,
better way than men, but they
shouldn't be picked on in the
meantime. They need a lot OF
credit and not so much blame.
Women have enough to stand
without one of their own num-
ber nagging at them the way
you do. Women should always
stand together regardless the
way men do. You never catch
men criticising each other. Men
are the concCited sex. Women,
on the other hand. are Sensi-
tive and high strung and are
apt to think poorly of them
selves, so their feelings should
be considered. Criticise men,
but praise women!

purpose or a weep" in it; and
she can't be entirely contented
with a husband unless he gives
her something to worry about.
She can't be HAPPY unless
she's SERIOUS!
Until woman learns to look
upon life, not as a dispense
tion or a heavy responsibility,
but as a Great Adventure and
a beautiful Game of Chance,
she will never delight in it as
a man does.
Whether he's playing at golf,
high finance, politics, art or
love-making, a man always plays
just for the sheer joy of
PLAYING. If things go wrong,
it merely increases his eager
ness and inspires him to make
a more Skillful stroke.
But a woman always plays
to WIN. And, if things go
wrong, it wrings her heart and
skaters her nerves.
It's the chance, the gamble,
the surprise that relieves a
mans life from his deadly mo-
notony and make it an ad-
venture instead of a duty.
That's why most men keep
their looks and their figures
so much longer than most wo-
men. For youth is the spirit of
adventure, of hope-that thrill
ing feeling that something de-
lightful and wonderful may
turn the trick for you at any
moment. Eternal youth is un-
dying zest in the Great Gamble

You remember that your

You cannot forget your reac-

Something you had cherished
passed out of your life at the

Think just now whether you

Lack of control of your emo

The Marry-GO-ROund
BY Helen Rowland.

Why Men Don't Get Wrinkles
When woman started out to
help herself to mans rights and
privileges, she made the mis-
take of adopting all his foflieS
and foinies and overlooking
most of his really enviable
traits.
She appropriated his uncom-
Portable pajamas, but scorned
his nice, convenient collection
Of pockets. She picked up a
few of his sins, but never &C
quired his stimulating philC4p
ophy of life.
To a man all life is a fas-
cinating, exciting GAME, and
he can squeeze more joy out of
one hour of it than a woman
can extract from a whole year.
One reason why the average
man keeps his youth and pep
so much longer than a woman
does is chat a woman always
insists on dong all his worry
ing for him. Man may have
been made to mourn"-but
woman always beats him to it.
A man makes a game of his
work-a woman can't even en-
Joy a game unless she makes
work of it.
A man goes to his club for
relaxation and pleasure; a
woman goes to her club as a
social duty or a civic obligation.
A man forms friendships at his
club; a woman forms factions
and starts fights for SUI
premacy.
That's the real secret of
mans protracted youth and of
most of woman's worry wrinkles
and premature gray hairs.
