The j three sided figure has come to represent a well balanced personal life, according to Dr. William j We, the Women Moulton Ma rat on, tiie former Harvard Har-vard psychologies who invented the lie detector. It ia an equillateral triangle with success on one side, love on an-otther. an-otther. and fun on the third. So far, the psychologist thinks, men are heavy on the auccesa and fun side, and women more concerned with love. Need Balance) Perhaps If women would .try to 4 more nearly balance the side's, they ' would be happier. This success business, for initancs. Women have never realised its importance so far as they are concerned. For generations they have been content con-tent to be the wives of successful men, getting their thrill of achievement achieve-ment second hand. We've even come to think of a successful woman as one who is ' married to a successful man. But, while second hand success does a lot for women so far as mink coats and social position are concerned. It cannot possibly give them the same joy of accomplishment that it givea the man who earns It. Perhaps the woman who takes a little concentration off the love side and uses it to work toward some small succeas of her own is building heraelf a batter Ufa than her aistera have found. She will have leas time than they to worry about love. She will grow as a person as she perfects herself In some line. And when her Job of motherhood is finished aha will have something to keep her mind busy. Imti to Play And as for learning to havo fun. It ought not to take a supersalea-man supersalea-man to sell her on that aid of the triangle. In fnct. ahe is already beginning to enjoy living. It was not her fault that for yeara fun was considered con-sidered unladylike. But now she haa earned the companionship of men, the right to play their games, and life la all aet for her. It seems there is something In this personal triangle that the psychologist psy-chologist recommends. He didn't suggest the idea, but It might do a good deal to overcome the "eternal" "eter-nal" triangle that has always been one of women's bugagoos. |
