Three Times a Bridesmaid
Dear Mrs. Post: I've served as
a bridesmaid twice. I'm asked
again and don't know what to do.
Is there any truth in the saying,
Three times a bridesmaid, never
a bride?"
Answer: Serving a third time
hardly would have any bearing
on your future life. Therefore, it
would be lacking in ordinary sense
to decline for this reason alone If
you'd like to take part.
Hot in Church
Dear Mrs. Post: I've always
thought a hat necessary for some
one attending services in a Chris
tian church. Lately I've noted
some women sitting in church
bareheaded. Have I always been
wrong. or has there been change?
Answer: You are not only right,
but your question surprises me be-
cause I. personally, never have
seen women bareheaded in any
church. I should add that veil
ing over the head or flowers or
other ornament worn in the hair
counts as head-covering.
Introducing ln-Lows
Dear Mrs. Post. Is it more
courteous Ito herr to introduce a
brother-in-law's wife as a sister
in-law or better or explain that
she is my brother-in-law's wife?"
Answer: 1t would be much bet
ter to say my sister-in-law" un-
less there is a reason why it is of
to be specific about
the relationship.

Women Cursed With Martyr Complex
Are Always 7oppy When Miserable

out a piteous story of domestic
misery. Sometimes it is story of
a drunken husband who has
dragged her and her children down
into the gutter with him. Some
times the husband is a brute who
beats her black and blue and of
whom she lives in mortal terror.
Sometimes the husband is a
crouch who wrecks her nerves
with his silences and who never
speaks except to insult her.
But why don't you leave him."
you ask. why don't you 60 out
and get job and make your own
living? There is no sense in let
ting your life be ruined by a man
whose only use for you is to make
slave of you and to have some
one upon whom he can vent his
Iill-nature.
But they never take your advice.
They never leave. And you come
gradually to realize that they are
getting so much fun out of pitying
themselves and being an object of
sympathy to all who know them
that it offsets having a mean hus-
hand about whom they can COM
plain.
Apparently women never count
their blessings, but they can do
sums in compound interest in
trouble in their heads. The woman
who has a good job with a good
pay envelope doesn' t thank Heaven
that she is financially independent.
She means and groans over her
sad lot in having to work. The
domestic woman laments over
being a slave in her home instead
of having career.
The spinster weeps over the
loneliness of not having husband
and children. And the married
woman sheds gobs of tears over
the slavery Of being tied down to
husband and children. The
woman who is married to a plain
businessman who is a good pro-
wider breaks her heart over his not
being romantic soulmate. And
the woman who married tenn
peramental genius who can't make
a living walls because he can't
give her the luxuries she desires.
And so it goes. Women keep the
world damp with their tears, but
let us not begrudge them their
diversion. They are having such
a grand time pitying themselves. |
Evening star., 1950-01-15

WomenS S chlef vice is self pity.
Practically the entire sex is cursed
with the martyr complex. They
are never so happy as when they
are miserable. and there in moth
ing out of which they get such a
kick as going on jag of tears.
This explains so many things
about women that are otherwise
inscrutable mysteries of feminine
psychology. Most of all, it ex-
plains why men can never under
stand women because she whole
trend of mans mind is away
from sadness and depression,
while the woman goes out and
borrows trouble If she hasn't any
of her own.
A man pushes aside his worries
and tries to forget them. A
woman broods over hers and cod
dies them and makes the most of
them. When death takes from a
man one he loves he does not
shroud himself in funereal black,
nor spend his days in darkened
room nursing his grief, nor do
his men friends augment his sor-
row by pouring theirs upon him
until the world just seems welter
OF woe: On the contrary. he knows
that life belongs to the living and
that not rivers of tears could bring
his dear one back again, and so
he goes out among cheerful
people and tries to divert his
thoughts from his grief.
Women esteem sadness as
virtue in a woman. They look ask
ance upon any woman who is gay
and lighthearted and who laughs
out loud. and are sure that she is
no better than she should be.
Now, as a matter of fact, women
have no more troubles than men.
Life Is no more full of disappoint-
ments for women than it is for
men. There are just as many un-
happily married men as there are
women. There are just as many
fathers as there are mothers
worrying over wayward children.
But it is the women who are she'd
ding most of the tears and doing
most Of the lamenting, and this
is not because they are more sorely
afflicted than men are, but be-
cause they are having the time
OF their lives indulging in their
favorite indoor sport of self-pity.
All of us have some woman
friend who comes to us and sobs

A Judges Wife Speaks Out
For Fair PLAY
FROM THE FLORIDA SENTINEL

The wife of Federal Judge Waring of Charleston,
South Carolina, invited to address Negro meeting,
stood up and talked like statesman. She depored the
way Negro citizens treated by what she termed So
called white Christians and said the efforts to keep
them in secondcass citizenship is making our white
friends "a sick, confused and decadent people,
Naturally, this kind of friendly but critical talk
stirred up considerable abuse and anmosity against her
and her distinguished husband There those who
recalled that it Judge Warng who unlocked the
gates of the Democratic party of South Carolina and al
lowed the Negro citizens to enter.
Mrs. Waring noted new look" in the eyes of the
Negro women and declared that spiritually you have
been living by Chrst's teaching of the Golden Rule.
All fair-minded and honest citizens know that Mrs.
Warning spoke the truth but many questioned the wisdom
of saying it. We think if more of leading white
citizens would speak against injustice and hypocracy
there would come time when fair play would become
popular.
There is no need, as it appears in many quarters,
to fear the potentaeS of the Negro and to consider
him a competitor enemy The Negro seeks to help
make this land of great accomplishment and freedom
and hopes have the cooperation and fellowship IN this
venture of all good citizens.
Meanwhile, there is nothing but paise for such a
noble woman as Mrs Waring. May her tribe increase!

CAMPAIGN FOR

NEW YORK-The 1850 Heart
Campaign, sponsored by the Am
erican Heart Association and it's
affiliates- is scheduled for the en-
tire month of February, it was an
nounced this week. the nation
wide fund drive to combat heart
diseases, will be under the national
craftsmanship of A. w. Robertson,
Chairman of the Board of the
Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
The campaign has a goal of $6,000,-
900 to support the Associations at
tack on heart disease through re-
search, education and community
service. All racial groups are par
ticipating in the nationwide drive.
Introducing the campaign, Mr..
Robertson declared that, "the out
look was never more hopeful for
control of the heart diseases, our
nations leading cause of death. Re-
cent developments in medical sci
ence have already contributed
greatly to the alienation of several
types of heart disease. Medical
scientists believe we are on the
threshold of new and even greater
discoveries. Research, to push
through to final solutions, is need
ed more than ever. The public S
support of our medical investiga-
tors was never more vitality neces-
sary.
"While researchers continue to
seek new answers" Mr.. Robertson
said, sit is no less important that
we make the best use of the scien-
tific knowledge we now have. Fol-
this reason the American Heart
Association has expanded its pro.
gram of public and professional
education and community service
in centers throughout the nation
The need is still pressing for the
organization of local heart asso.
Citations in other areas of the ma
ton so that heart programs will be
generally available to all our citi-
Zens."

Terry furnished Chicago a great
man
He is known as 1.-TWO gun Pete"
They put him on one of the tuffest
jobs
He had no fear for whom he'd
meet.
He said he had his ups and downs
But yet he was a fearless man
Sometimes he used his blackjack
and gun
And sometimes it was just his
hands.
He took the job to give the people
rest
A blackjack and one gun wouldn't
do
He said he had to use two guns
To make his best brand new.
He did not go out for murder
He went out to bring back peace
To make his beat better to live on
For the greatest down to the least.
Terry was a little Mississippi town
That is two gun Pete's little home
Chicago put him on police force
And for sixteen years he held his
own.
Mississippi is proud Of everyone
Who stands up and make a good
Two gun Pete is a fearless Police
His record is from Land to Land
Jackson need some two gun Petes
In the colored part of town
To stop this disgraceful language
And all night running around.
We need respect from our race
A colored police will bride the
tongue
Parish street needs respect
And then Gods will will be done
| hope our great men that's in
| power
Can see the need of our Race
Having a job as a police here
And putting our people in THEN
place.
We need some fearless colored pc
lice here
To bride this young races tongue
Then all good things will be wait
ing for us
For good things Gods will is done

LIFE AT A
GLANCE
BY RAY LAWRENCE
BY RAY LAVE

Some things you may have
known all the time, but just haven't
given them serious thought.
THAT America has an obliga-
ton, and that obligation, is to rid
this country of bigotry, and the
best place to start housekeeping
is in the schools and colleges. Big
otry is a stigma on a democratic
society. Racial and religious dis
elimination are the most heinous
forms of vice one can think of.
Why the very brain of the bigot is
bathed in a liquer of hate and fear.
1t is mottled with a disease, that
cannot be cured by passing the
buck, or trying to reason with the
illiterate.
Today the greatest allies of in
tolerance are not the outright
bigots, but the do-notings "The re-
spectables" who sit around and
continue the fight against intoler-
ance to parlor conversations. They
are the silk tie liberals. Oh yes, we
have some of them in the Negro
Race-the so-called intelligensia,
who appraises the situation with
conditions of the time, or those that
always feel, "there is too much
emphasis put on the problem which
they consider to be lame.
This brings up the question as
whether the Negro problem is one
without solution? 1 say not. But
certainly, the solution must en-
counter, difficulty more stronger
if the Negro himself is devided on
the question of it's Importance. Not
that l would say the Negro Fra
ternities should be left to suffer
but if bigotry is to be whaled on
the head, Negroes in white colleges
and Universities must insist upon
membership in the fraternities
This feeling has been with me since
my days in a white University
That was before the era of bold
liberalism. There is no excuse to-
day for lame efforts, for if bigotry
is to find the going hard, concen-
tration must be pointed in educa-
ton.
