Show AS THEY SEE ONE ANOTHER Men and Women Are Quick to Prescribe Pre-scribe the Remedy for the Faults They Perceive. If you ever get to asking yourself if life is worth living, if work ever gets to pressing a little too hard, if the electric flare at night ever gets to seeming a bit garish, and the daytime light a bit flat, Just turn your field-glasses field-glasses upon the events which testify to the dexterity of the one sex in pinning pin-ning responsibility upon the other. Y'ou will have to laugh no matter how you feel. For instance, in a mid-western state, not so long ago. it was seriously serious-ly proposed that, as the two great discernible factors in the social evil were "married men and the way women wo-men dress," a bill should be formulated formu-lated for the legislature which, steering steer-ing blind-eyed past the married men, should regulate women's dress! And, again for instance, in this banner ban-ner year for the birds, one woman's club after another is passing resolutions resolu-tions approving of the drastic proposal pro-posal to prohibit absolutely the importation im-portation of all plumes, skins, or feathers of wild birds, and condemning condemn-ing the commercial greed of men which fattens on the anguish of the songsters of the forests. And birds ol paradise are bobbing on some of thi women's hats as the resolutions through, with a thrill of pity! |
