Show ! Still One Field Open to Women Where They . Have Outrageous Advantages ! By LAURA BRECKENRIDGE McCLINTOCK, in Motor. , Thank heaven, there is still one field left open to women where they . have some outrageous advantages over mere man and that field is : motoring. r Why take the men along? Why, even if their resistance can b overcome, and a lukewarm enthusiasm results? There are few difficulties 1 to be met with in touring that cannot be just as well, if not more easily, ' dealt with by women traveling alone than if in company with a man. And, oh, the advantages ! And the larks that result from such experiences I For there are advantages from the time the car is left to b ' overhauled at the corner garage in preparation for the trip until the last spare tire is cut into ribbons on the homeward flight. I know. I have ;had experience with and without the dear things along. ' The police with one accord are more lenient with women making 'mistakes than they are with men no matter if the latter are strangers ;also. Inn-keepers, fellow-travelers, proprietors of roadside filling-stations, strangers in stranger towns, etc ; while mechanics seem to blossom forth into fits of unheard-of speed under a. fire of ignorant questions and i IfeminiiJB flattery. Likewise, the fewer the questions and the greater the ; flattery, the gentler mechanics are with women when the time comes for 't terms. There are advantages, yea, even unto the police courts! |
