Men Refuse to Look at (hen Faults BY .MRs. WALTER FERGUSON Being a woman, naturally the most fascinating subject under the sun. to my notion, is men. And I grow constantly more amazed at their super-sensitiveness. Long ago I believed that they ail had hearts of adamant and feelings as tough as rhinosceros hide. I have learned better. The truth is that men are the touchiest beings alive. The slightest criticiim makes them flinch. They are painfully thin-skinned. How have I come by this knowledge, do you ask’ Weil, this is the way of it. Letters Flow In Now and then this column calls attention, oh. ever so gently, to some masculine inconsistency, some tiny fault, some infinitestimal flaw of character, and there come the letters in reply. Almost invariably the good creatures call me “manhater.” To the masculine intelligence this is the worst epithet that can be hurled at a woman. Os course, when one says that a certain gentleman is a woman-hater, that argues that he is a bit above the ordinary, that his mind is deeper than the common run. and he occupies a plane so high no woman could ever hope to get there. We admire and look up to the man who professes to despise weak females. But, contrariwise, a man-hater, according to the accepted standards, is mentally off. She is not abnormal; she is subnormal. The infinite gods deprived her of an excellence without which no woman can be worthy—that ability to admire man and all his perfections. Male Loves Flattery Now, actually, there's no such thing as a man-hating woman. And I doubt seriously the existence of a woman-hating man. The reason men are roused to such a pitch of repartee is because they can not bear to hear anything save praise of themselves. They are spoiled babies when it comes to looking their own faults in the face. Moreover, has it not always been their privilege and their pleasure to make the welkin ring with laughter and curses over feminine foibles? And, my friends, for ages we have taken these gibes sitting. We have become so used to them tnat we feel neglected without them. But don't attempt to give men a *dose of their own medicine. They will sulk in a corner. Their taste for flattery is so over-devel-oped that a morsel of truth makes them ill. Committees Appointed by G. 0. P. Club Miss Jane V.

Women Get Undue Share of Publicity “Alia, 1 ’ writes Mr. Collins of Manhattan. “wfc&t do you think of Karl Bickel's statement that no woman measures up in news interest to the outstanding men he has chosen?” The reader will recall that Bickel, head of the United Press, included in his list President Hoover. King George and the prince of Wales, Colonel Lindbergh. Benito Mussolini, Ramsay MacDonald, Lloyd George. Thomas Edison. George Bernard Shaw and Owen D. Young. In the first place we take it for granted that' Bickel knows. These men. because they have been placed in positions of trust or have accomplished some great.achievement, o. because they are leaders of modern thought, should remain in the spotlight. Not Jealous If Collins imagines that this will irk the average woman newspaper reader he is entirely wrong. Intelligent American women are not jealous of men. The thing that seems unfair is not that individual women do not get their proper share of publicity, but that women collectively get entirely too much. The news value that women now possess hinges, not upon what they may be doing, but merely upon the fact that they are women, and doing it. The American mother has had more sermons preached at her and more newspaper haranguing than any single individual of whatever sex in the world. Taken for Granted You do not find magazines and papers filled with lengthy essays written about men as a sex. It is taken for granted that they are individuals first and husbands and fathers afterward. Women, on the other hand, are always wives and mothers first and citizens afterward. A topsey-turvey arrangement. So far as this column is concerned ; it is entirely in favor of Bickel's; choice. We should like to add. however. that we hope a large per cent of the excellent advice that is being j put out in regard to moral uplift may henceforth be directed to President Hoover and the great Benito. . Let us preach our sermons to Ram- 1 say and Young and give poor wife a t rest. Personally more space devoted to G. B. S. and less about us going to the bowwows on account of mother's poor cooking would give joy to this humble corner.

Pearls Still Are Favored Jewel Type BY FRANCIS PAGET Copyright. 2930. by Style Sources NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Jewelry novelties may come and go—certainly they are coming in great profusion—but pearls go on forever. Necklaces in strands ranging from two to five are ultra smart whether clasped in crystal or in color. Pearls of course are varied in tint and should be chosen to blend with the complexion. Baguette crystals, sand crystals with color stones of course are approved, although some of the richest of these strands have slides and clasps of gold. For sports wear there still is a predilection for red, and for colors which blend with the costume. Effective necklaces of coral and jade arc being worn with green and of course with black or neutral costumes. Women seem divided in their opinions, some preferring to match their jewels to their costume, while others find pleasure in effective contrasts. Formal jewelry follows the nineteenth century ideas and not inaptly is dubbed “court jewelry.” There is naturally a preference for colorless stones such as diamonds and pearls. Precious or seemingly so crystals also are liked for evening.

JAN. 11, 1930

Religion Too Often Thom to Marriage BY MARTHA LEE It is a strange thing that institutions. organized to make life better and happier, frequently are turned into traps of disorder and trouble. Take marriage, tor instance. The sacrament of marriage was organized to preserve the human race in the most ideal way. It was instituted to provide that a man and a woman, who. having found they loved each other, should find security. safety and permanence in that relationship, and the children of that union might be provided with a home and the home life which is a child’s happiness. And yet, that sacrament has been turned into a veritable quicksand of trouble and unhappiness. The same thing holds true of religion. Even before Christianity, when the pagan religions were holding sway, unhappiness and sorrow were the result of a ‘‘mixed" marriage. Christianity should have done away with all this. The fundamentals, set down by Christ to guide the world, if rightly followed, should lead to peace and happiness. Those premises are the basis of all religions. And yet. when two people of different creeds meet and love and marry, very often that very difference is the basis of untold sorrow and trouble. Here is mute evidence of the result of a union of two persons of different faiths which has resulted in unhappiness and trouble. Dear Martha Loe-Of course there always are two sides to a question, and one or the other of them always is more in the wrong than the other. But sometimes, it seems that it would be better for two people to go back to the old places, where they started before marriage. When there are children, a husband and wife should sacrifice a great deal before thev decide to discontinue. Although X am a young man. I have beeu married twice. I have a boy by my first marriage. I have a good business and always have been able to keep things going. The second time I married. I married a woman of a religion different from my own. As she said she did not expect to have any children we would never have any trouble about religion, and so everything went along all right. I attended my own church and she attended hers. 1 often went with her. and, when I did. it was impossible for me to attend mine. I thought, since I went with her so much, she could go to mine occassionally with me. She told me she would before we were married. After we had been married about two months, I told her I was going to my church again, and she flew to pieces. She said my church was no church at all. Os course, we had a terrible quarrel, lend every time since, when I attend church she makes some slighting remark. She said it was e sin for her to go to my church, so naturally I stopped going with her. although I take her there and go after her. When we have social gatherings at my church I will not take her. because mv friends will ask me why she does not come to church with me. I do not leant to answer these questions, so I avoid them by not taking her. Asa result, she accuses roe of going there to see some other woman. I wish you couid ask me any questions. from her point of view, that would make me see things differently. All I can see now is to separate. If persons of different faiths marry, there should be a law that one or the other change so they both embrace the same beliefs. G. No, you’re wrong. But there should be a law against two narrow-minded bigots of different faiths marrying. You both are worshiping the same God, you, after the teachings of your family, and your wife, after the faith of her parents. Just because those ways happen to to be different, is no reason they should be the keynotes to quarreling and dissension in your home. You are acting like idiots. If your wife is satisfied with her own faith, why ask her to come to your church? Worship your own ways, and the facts upon which your Christianity is founded wil make it possible for you to live in peace and harmony, if you really follow them. You both are going to church on Sundays, and leaving your religion at the door when you come out, for another week. In place of your religions, which teach you to be kind, charitable, forgiving and loving toward your fellow-men, you are acting worse than heathens. You have no right to say a word against her beliefs, nor she against yours. Because your wife is affiliated with a different faith, that is no reason to exclude her from your social life. Perhaps you both would be more understanding if you would practice your faith instead of prating about it.
