Show MEN HAVE 'rUNI Y WAYS" TOO. A Woman, on Behalf of Her Sex, Asks Soma Unanswerable Questions. The little peculiarities of women are a fruitful topic with some masculine writers. They continually rush into print with such questions as: Why does a woman always want to know if her hat is on straight? Why does she keep you waiting 10 minutes after she's de clared she's all ready? Why does she da this, that and the other? Here's a counter coun-ter blast from a woman writer: Why does a man always have lengthened and often profane interviews with his collar button? It looks like an inoffensive sort of an article to an outsider. Why does he rush through his dressing and throw everything all over the room because he's in such a hurry he "knows he'll be late" and then spend a good five mintes filling and lighting his pipe! Why does he never put together and fold up a newspaper? Why, when a pretty pret-ty girl praises another man's ' 'charming manners, " does he say the girl is "soft?" Why does he declare that handsome and popular youn g actors are ' 'sticks? " Why can he never, by any possibility, find anything he is sent to look for in closei or drawer? Why is hia headache or toothache so much worse than anybody else's ever was? Why is it always his liver that does not work instead of the welsh rabbit and mince pie that have worked? Why will he go out after a rain without overshoes and then preach about the vanity of women? Why does it rain too hard to go to church, but not too hard to go to a dinner or theater or club on any succeeding stormy dayl Why does he suppose, when he notes women's "fnnny ways," that women are not at the same time noticing hia own funny ways?
