Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 221, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 September 1916 — Foolish Man. [ARTICLE]

Foolish Man.

A Boston woman has won a wager of SSO by promenading the principal streets of Boston, Providence and Worcester, wearing a startling hand-paint-ed gown and hat and carrying a handpainted parasol. Her venture was the result of a dare from a Boston artist. She has given the money to the Red Cross relief fund. “You must not dare a woman to do anything, even if she is growing old,” says this successful creature, “for she will do it, even if her husband should object.” Here and there there may be a husband who will wonder what that word “even” is doing In this declaration of feminine Intentions, but otherwise the sentiment will go uncorrected. Daring a woman is a superfluous, redundant and superogatory piece of work. The gentleman gets off cheaply at SSO. — Knickerbocker Press.
