ABOUT WOMEN-BY A MAN

The —unconventional woman needs Ho chaperon. No woman ever acquired virtue or had it thrust upon her. To a sick man every trained nurse under forty is a thing of beauty and a Joy forever. Every woman resents in her heart the man who respects her for her character alone. The length of time it takes to get aroiind a girl’s waist Is not always In proportion to its size. It would be impossible for me to respect any woman who did not have the capacity to make me suffer. a I never stood well in chemistry. That is 'why I derive no enjoyment from making up to a made-up woman. It has been said that women never provide for the future. To this Eve sthuds as a permanent contradiction. The woman who stands in front of her door and looks up and down the street Is not always looking for her husband. I have often thought I would like to try the experiment of loving the same woman twice—but ,1 have never dared to give up the time to it. You can always tell that moment when girlhood has departed and womanhood has begun. It is at this point that she never has anything to wear. I spent yesterday with the cleverest girl in the world. It has taken me all the time since then to recover* from the conviction of my own Importance. When, without consulting a woman, a man can order a dinner at a restaurant with which she fs perfectly satisfied, he has arrived at the fullness of his power; there Is nothing more for him to achieve.
