with nith a filet of roses in Ins us hair sallying forth in ID society think think- thinking thinking ing to make a hit with the girls by dressing as they do Nor do ou see men sitting around embroidering monograms on doilies because that is s a favorite feminine pastime and the they went vent nt to understudy the diversions of women as much as pos possible But Dut the spectacle of dressed up In mens men's clothes i is so BO common that we e e have almost ceased to notice it though goodness knows a man In a ball gown is no fun funnier mer looking of I than a woman In pants There are thousands upon young women omen who have wrecked their health for tor life me by broad jumps and flat jumps and hurdle jumps and other strenuous athletic stunts J in which they have sought to emulate the achievements of men menNow menI Now the llie pity pUy of the Ule thing is that when ahen a woman tries to make an n Imitation man of ot herself she sh falls tails between tho the stools She

she is a better man than he is by winning the blue ribbon OMEN arc are Invincible in their ovin on field but they make mahe a poor WOMEN W showing when the they hey invade mans man's sacred sphere Women omen for in instance instance instance stance have not the physical strength of men seen In a stand up fight tight the tho thomen themen thomen men would knock the women out in the first round But Dut If it a survey could be taken of all of Df the husbands and wives in ID the country you would find more husbands afraid of their wives than wives who are afraid of ot their husbands Also Also tt jt k I r a matter of common knowledge that in nine homes of ten it is the tho hen who rules the roost e But Dut these ladles ladies did not achieve e their victory by using masculine methods On the contrary they employed the tactics that their grand grandmothers mothers and their great grandmothers and their great-great great grand grandmothers grandmothers mothers have used through the centuries They used finesse and tact and blarney the womans woman's weapons against which s hick a man has no defense And Just as no woman can manae manage her husband by brute force so 50 no woman can convince her husband and bring him around to her point of by argument She may have all the facts on her sideband and plead her case with tho logic of a Portia and the eloquence of a spellbinder Nothing doing But when she weeps on the second button of his waistcoat and he pats her on the back and says There there her case Is won THE women who have got what they wanted are not the women 1 nho ho have talked about the rights of a wife they are the women who have wept for them For there Is some alchemy in a womans woman's tears that melts down a mans man's resistance as aa an Icicle melts in the sun ISun I sun Foolish are the women who think that they endear themselves tomen to toi I i men by understudying them It If a man wan wanted led a companion v nho ho dressed like himself and acted like himself and talked like himself dressed he be wouldn't bother with willi women whose masculine achievements are after all as Dr Johnson said those ot of o the dancing the dog dog the marvel of which Is not Dot that ho he dances so well but that thit he dances at all They hey would hunt bunt up masculine society y to begin with Man is attracted to woman because she Is different And k the more a woman emphasizes this difference the greater her attraction She will always come nearer hitting the bulls bull's eye bulls eye of a mans man's heart with a glance front froni her eye than she will with a repeating rifle her most effective powder will willbe willbe willbe be that she carries In her vanity case and she will deal her solar plexus blow with a hand as soft as a baby's BELIEVE B
