It put another word in
mans growing vocabulary:
Suffrage. Husky women
with wealth and the courage
of convictions began acquir-
ing husbands wholesale, in
large lots. The day of APP
pliances was at hand.
Unmaking property laws
was simple in those days.
The king set the example
and the subjects did like
wise. The order, etched on
soft brick, in laundry marks,
was chucked out the palace
window with a flourish.
Compounded connubial
bliss never recovered from
that kingly clout. Grass COM
mercialism of the sponsors
killed all chances for reviv-
ing the multiple wives idea.
The rights" angle rang no
bells with the public.
While some crusaders for
the old order were lusty
young bachelors who knew
no better, the ring-leaders
were tabled as smooth oper-
ators with considerably more
than female anatomy on
their minds.
What bothered them
was the effect on the
stock market. No one
reckOned real estate or
Dow-Jones averages as a
yardStick of wealth in
those days. A mans
credit rating was known
by his harem.

No matter what he says
for talks sake, he resents
what modern marriage has
become. Pin him down in
strictly male precincts, with
his inhibitions at half mast,
and he'll frankly admit the
fact.
Human behavior is a crea-
ture of circumstance, envi-
ronnent, and association.
Mans sub-conscious self is
a throw-back to the old days
when life was lived along
simpler lines than Is the
case now.
His savage nature is hard
ly ever apparent to the max
ed eye because his instincts
have encrusted with a heavy
layer of responsibility in the
course of centuries.
Modern man is about
SO and 44II0O percent
tanned and house. broken.
Not with standing this,
his Ego continues to
have a thick skin; and
more often than not, he
has acquired a head to
match.
To appreciate the
ages on the Male Animal,
one must return in re-

Basically, man is as beast
ly as ever. Only times and
customs have changed. Pri-
mlLiVe man was the original
Extroyert. He didn't give a
boot whether school kept or
not. He was unspoiled by
hypocrisy.

old enough to need a wife to

IMAM is the case today. He
used what might be called a
Bargain Basement Technique.
Nature Boy simply grabbed
his favorite Baseball Bat and
took off through the brush
toward a neighboring tribal
community. Even then, it
wasn't considered fair or
healthy to covet a next-cave
Cousins helpmeet.
The prospective bride
groom lay in hiding until
female specimens of the
neighboring tribe scampered
off-limits to gather orchids
or acquire a new Sun-tan
creation. Then he did what
came naturally.
Like a hungry cowboy
rustling steaks for his own
chuck-wagon, our Hero Sc
parated a choice morsel
from the herd, ran her off
into some leafy ravine. and
patted her head affection
ately with his Louisville
Slugger.
Despite the informality.
his wooing was imprisoned
and often left impressions
that lasted a life time. Di-
vorce was no problem, either,
in that distant era of Club
Men and Clubbed Women.
Neither money nor
LAYERS had been invent
ed yet, so there were no
courts, pleading, or ali
mOny- If the defunct
spouse survived, there
was no wherewithaI for
residence at some Stone
Age Reno. She was on
her own.
Marriage and divorce
are more formal and
take longer these days.
The trimmings are far
more expensive for the
male, whether he is be-
ing took in wedIock, or
had in court.

i Whether latter-day changes
are for better or worse is q
moot point. Divorcers rye
known say that the Club
System had advantages, pro-
vided the Club were used on
the party of the other part.
And there's the rub!
Courtship by capture, or
as a favor, characterized
Primeval Marriage for cent
uries, finally giving way to
new look in civilization.
This was marriage by pur-
chase. Hard clubs gave way
to hard cash.
Bridegrooms of this en-
lightened era made their
pitch, with primitive check
book in hand, to her father.
If the Old Boy could not
be dickered into a sharp
deal for cash, his original
demands we're met, tearfully.
Thus, the groom ac-
quired monetary interest
in the person of his
lady. This equity persists
to the present hour, all
claims of personal IL
berty and political eman-
cipation to the contrary.
Alienation of affec-
tions, or Affections, as
the case may be, is still
a contemplate crime
against social order. No
thing but money will
SoOthe the IascerateG
feeling of the aggrieved
spouse.
Next Iurch IN the mar
ital line reflected the
forward march in mans
economies. A new phil
osophy of enterprise was
abroad in the world.
Lords of the manor be-
gan practising poly
gamy on a grand scale.
Humanity was no
longer stuck up a tree or
under rocks. The new
order endowed man with
acquiSitive urge and
shOw-Off instincts. Soon
he was collecting all
kinds of wealth, incIud-
ing wives.
1t must be granted that
wives would never have been
considered as property ex-
cept for the illusion of male
superiority. 1t was Just a
case of man beating woman
to the punch. He was lucky,
at first.
Later, a female version of
polygamy latched into glob-
al headlines. This first or
ganized protest against mas
culine aggression was called
Polyandry, or multiple hus-
