Show Women and Courtship Man views it as a great testimony to his prowess at amour to yield up his liberty, his property and his soul to the first woman who. in despair of finding belter game, turns her appraising apprais-ing eye upon him. But if you want to hear a mirthless laugh, just present this masculine theory to a bridesmaid at a wedding, particularly after alcohol alco-hol and crocodile tears have done their disarming work upon her.

Mencken, la "In Defense De-fense of Women." |
