MARCH OF EVENTS
BY Benjamin De Casseres-

DATHER ungentlemanly.
~ maybe, on my part, but I
must say out loud that Mrs.
Roosevelt makes great many
statements that give no evidence
of mental molecular movement
or historical knowledge, or any,
thing in fact except the desire
10 hear ones voice or to as
found.
For instance, our well-mean-
ing First Lady recently said:
ut needs women to plan for
women, some one who can i'm
agiHe herself I'm similar situa.-
ton. The men can't do that.
They just don't have the imagi-
nation
THIS Is tantamount 10 saying
IL that women have more
imagination than men.
Now. ii is a fact that all the
great women in imaginative lit
erature were created by men
Helen of Troy, Antigone, Medea,
Phedre. Marguerite, Desdemona,
Cordelia. Ophelia. Lady Mac
beth, Madame Bovary, Mana,
Hedda Gabler, Hester Prynne,
Nora Helmer, Anna Karenina,
Tess, Becky Sharp, Brlnnhilde
and many. many more.
No woman novelist mot even
George Eliot or George San6
has had the imagination to Gre
ate an immortal feminine COR
male) character.
1t seems in literature, as in
painting and sculpture, that only
man has not only the magma
ton to create women but il is
man alone who understands
woman.
Flaubert and Tolstoy alone
prove that.
As FOR planting for
"A women. let me point out TO
Mrs. Roosevelt that all the
great dress designers, all the
great chefs, all the leading mil
miners Of the world, including
the proprietorS of all the great

Answer to Question No. 1

but 1 think it is quite largely
because women hope to find a
solution Of their own love prob
lens in the experiences of
others. If Merylyn and Clar-
ence solved their love tangle by
beating each other up and then
kissing and making up, readers
ponder over whether this would
be their best way out of their
situation, or kissing first and
fighting afterward. or diSpens-
ing with both methods. In
deed, we all read literature that
deals with human life with the
same hope-that il will teach
us lessons about the mystery
of life and love. or deeper mys-
terry Of death and love, for, as
William J am e S, philosopher,
said, Love is stronger than
death. u IL IL be real love. IL is.
