Chamberlain got through blue-pen- cling.
 But somehow we think women ought to be pleased at the news. For thousands of years they have been regarded as the tame-and therefore dull-sex. Men have never thought women collectively interesting enough to wonder what they think about, or what they talk about when there Is no man around to sparkle for.
 They have never wondered what kind of mischief is b-ewed at wom- ems parties along with their tea. Or why woman often comes back from club affair with half dozen new schemes in her head. | Men have never had any way to know how the other woman's" mind works, or how snug the se- cure wife. feels when another wife's marriage is in jeopardy. Women have never been credited with leading lives exciting enough to be interesting. And so we think 1t will give the tame sex certain kind of prestige to have their talk censored.
 When the Lord Chamberlain says 1t isn't for the London stage-and most women agree the conversation in the play is pretty true to life mems curiosity is sure to be aroused. "Just what is she up to?" many a husband will wonder now when his wife announces that she is going to spend the afternoon with "the girls"
