omen omen are likewise gold diggers and these virtually confino their attentions to married men as aa wealthy bachelors are few and Ill B ell eli to do married men roen are plentiful and also easy Why the married man who starts starn out as a Lothario I Is in an anea easy y winner of feminine hearts I Is perfectly obvious To begin with he has lisa the same advantage that the widower has over the single man He Is a professional so to speak Instead of an amateur lover He has the education in women that only marriage can cans s give a man for he has had a wife and like the wise man of S Kipling's poem he learned about women from her HAS found out that all aU women are so hungry ingry for lor love that they n will swallow any soft sort talk without examining Its quality He has found out that you can jolly oUy a a woman Into anything He lIe has found out that women melt down Into a mush that iou ou can do with as you ou will under a little understanding and sympathy He lIe has found out that it if iou ou ot remember an anniversary and a womans woman's taste In two to t 0 or three things that she VI will It an absolute proof of undying dei de- de dei i And the married man knows that there is 18 one sure s short shortcut shortcut shortcut cut to virtually every womans woman's heart It r ii pity And so he begins hI his making love-making by telling the girl that his hla wife does cloes doe not understand she Is not his real that they have nothing In common and that hi his home I is bleak and bar rent bar i rent and unhappy Generally he ace accuses uses his wife of being a human Iceberg while he Is II a perfect geyser of love and arid ten ten- tenderness And then he moans Oh why did we WB not meet In I time And the poor little Idiot of a girl pin undertakes undertake the con can consolation I role I T f COURSE all of ot this effective love play is more moro or le less lees s impossible I Ito OF O to the bachelor He lacks the technique of the Iho married man Ire cannot cunot appeal to a woman womans woman's or pose before her In the therole therole therole role of ot a a martyr martT He can only make love In n the commonplace old way nd nd it cramps his bis style atle But the real reason that the married man is a devil among women Is Just Juat the same old reason that made mado Eve listen to the serpent DOROTHY DIX t Copyright 1924 by Public
