women Tend to be Grim
No man considers that his intelll-

pens to have a good story or two
always on tap. But few intelligent
women take the trouble to learn
several really funny stories:
When women are ntelllgent,
they are so often grimly intelll-
gent. They count as lost any hour
that is spent in frivolous, unlm-
portant talk.
They believe in getting down to
good, serious, worthwhile discus
sion in the shortest possible time.
This is probably the reason why
so many intelligent men steer clear

Intelligent, well-educated women
are apt to make one mistake that
intelligent, well-educated men sell
dom make.
They are likely to become so
high-minded that they think any
subject less vital than world-shak-
ing problems is beneath their no
tice.
Mention a comic strip character,
and nine chances out of ten man
who can hold his own in world
events will at least know who you
are talking about. And probably
he'll be able to tell you just what
fix the poor guy is in.
But woman who prides herself
on being more. intelligent than
most will answer proudly, ''Oh, I
never read the comic strips"
The same thing will happen if
you talk about sports. A man can
keep a lot of essential knowledge
