WOMEN MORE ROMANTIC THAN MEN, SAYS RUDY VALLEE

Valle* arm** hi* slew* here. Ml* Aldrich will alee her side of the quetlon Wednesday. BY RUDY VALLEE WOMEN are more romantic jjian. men. In saying this, I feel like the person who bets on a sure thing. Because when one considers the attitude of the sexes toward romance today, or at any time in the past, it is only too obvious that this is true. Women seldom are called romantic, simply because, after all, romance is an active, aggressive thing made up of actions, words, deeds, and these usually are considered man’s part in affection. Woman is supposed to remain passive, and the romance comes from the attempt of the male lover to woo and win her, but that does not mean that the woman remains inwardly passive when the suitor seeks to win her charms. Rather, perhaps, is her mind filled with a thousand and one thoughts, most of them what the world terms romantic. Woman by nature is loving and lovable In fact, woman's whole life and happiness is bound up in the attentions she receives from man. Nothing can stifle the life of a woman so quickly as to be entirely ignored by the opposite sex. Women as a rule have more leisure in which to day-dream. They have few matters of business to turn over in their minds, and even when they do have, their minds never were considered as intensely business-like and down-to-earth as men's. a a a WOMEN are more highly strung and therefore more capable of experiencing that delicate web-like feeling which makes up the romance of their dream world, whereas man’s mind bv nature is one constructed to weigh and consider, to rationalize, to scrutinize, synthesize and analyze. Women do not care to bother their pretty heads about details, about judgments and conclusions. Os course, there are exceptions—plenty of women who direct the affairs of big organizations with minds just as keen and analytical and as sound as those of men. a a a I AM not. displeased when the woman I am with Is beautiful enough to attract attention from other men. In the first place, it is a tribute to m,v judgment and in rjhe second place, I can understand their fascination. There is no question about it—the average man is fascinated by the beauty of a woman as the Hindu is supposed to be fascinated by the eye of the cobra. To me the beauty of women is breath-taking. Sometimes the exquisite gorgeousness of certain women I have met has been so devastating in its perfection that, it has made me genuinely miserable Beauty means to men the desire to possess, even if only for a moment, but at least to hold it and to see if its power can remain lasting. But do not for a moment think that the female sex, down in its heart, is not just as responsive to the unusually attractive male. They simply arc far more clever—their glances of admiration arc stolen through the corners ci the eye or irom a window through parted curtains where no one eise can see it. man Unfortunately, most of the very good-looking men I have met are romantic only to a small degree, and golf or an evening at cards with a bunch of old cronies is more fascinating to them than the lips Bnd the returned caresses of some beautiful woman. Passion plays a great- part in the romance of men and also the romance of women, yet most women would be just as content with beautiful and tender praises spoken expressly for her. Nothing sends the blood rushing to a woman’s head as quickly as a quick and unexpected stolen kiss from a man whose attentions could not be distasteful to her. and it is these little impromptu and unexpected outbursts that for me have made these precious and fleeting moments of romance so wonderful The thrill of romance is in the unexpected, the surprises and the unfolding of all the little tendernesses. words and actions that take away from the reality of the hard and cold world two beings who for the moment are living for each other. <Th* ahovf *rli*l* bv Rods VslVr* hit the full approval ol his pnbllshfrs.

Short, tight skirts, fat legs—and then sitting with your knees apart, and not wearing bloomers. Nor can a woman who sits like this with this kind of a skirt not know what a sight she presents. The answer is that, she can’t help knowing it, because no matter how vulgar and stupid she is. she has seen other women sitting the same way and so can not possibly help but know how she affects the nerves of the people who have to look at. her.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Miserliness Is Worst of Mate Faults BY MARTHA LEE There is no shortcoming of mankind so thoroughly and universally despised as stinginess. And a stingy man (or woman), regardless of his other virtues, calls down upon himself the greatest hatred and scorn. Some of the other faults, however shady, can be overlooked, condoned, sometimes forgiven. But stinginess Is inexcusable and unforgivable. It rankles like a cancer in the hearts of the rest of humanity. A woman can continue to love her husband, if he is unfaithful, because she can hope against hope that he will come to his senses and discontinue philandering. She can stand living with him if he has an unpleasant disposition, because unpleasantness usually is spasmodic. She can love him in spite of gambling, laziness, selfishness or indifference. But. if he’s stingy, he sells his birthright of love from his wife and good will from his fellowmen for a measley penny bank. Has Its Place Don’t think I don’t know that money has its place in this world. It does. It is capable of bringing all sort of joy to those who have it. It can take them on delightful trips, fill their homes with lovely things, give them good food and a little leism - e in which to enjoy life. But money is only an agent for good as long as it is used as such. It is sane and sensible for every family to have a bank account, however small the income. Thrift is a marvelous trait. But when the accumulation of money becomes an obsession, when thrift is practiced to the extent of depriving wives and children of everything but a place to eat and sleep, it is a vice. The wife whose husband is miserly is faced with the most difficult fault to correct. Stinginess grows upon a person. And the sight of another figure in the bank book 1s more to such a man than the sight of a happy wife and loving children. A woman whose husband pinches pennies out of shape writes: Dear Miss Lee—l am up against a wait. My husband makes pretty good money, but he will not allow me enough to run my house and care for my children. He gives me Sl2 a week to buy groceries with and attend to all household expenses. We have three children. They go to school. I must, buy their books and meet any other expense that comes up out of that, weekly allowance. We have a telephone, and I have to pay the bill for that also. Because he thought the laundry bill too high. I am now doing my own washing. Quarrels Constantly He doesn’t seem to appreciate anything. All he does is quarrel with me about the high cost of living and the terrible expense. He will let a bill run two and three months before he will pay it. and all that ttrr.c he will quarrel with me about it. I can’t understand what he Is saving all his money for. His children are young and w'ould like to have a few pleasures, and so would I. I told him the other day I was lust about through, and he said it was all right with him, to go ahead and leave. But I wouldn’t know where to go or what to do. Can you make him out? UNHAPPY WIFE. Your husband has become a victim of miserliness, which is a disease as surely as typhoid., fever is a disease. And there is little you can do to cure him. If you leave, you will not be any better of! than you are now, as far as having things for yourself and children are concerned. They still are in school, and could not be any help to you right now. Os course, there would be this much: He would have to give you a certain amount of money every week for the support of yourself and your children. But it may not be more than you have now. after you got through paying rent and other expenses. When a man loves nothing in the world but the money he has hoarded the only way you can touch him is by threatening to take some of it away. If you should divorce him, he certainly would have to part with enough to break his heart for a while. Why not tell him he would be saving himself a lot of grief if he will be fair to you and the children.

BEAUTY-HOW TO ACHIEVE IT mum m m m m m m Makeup Secrets Revealed by an international Authority BY V. E. MEADOWS
MANY people think that rouge is to color the face. While it does give a natural color, and at least should give a natural color, it should not be used primarily for this purpose. It is used to shape the face. It has no effect upon the brilliance of an eye. Then again there are many peculiar ideas as to the way to put on rouge, in what shape. I to'd you in one of my previous articles how to shape the face with rouge, to make the face appear thinner or wider. Some women, or most women, put rouge on right up to the cheek bone and then leave that part between the cheek bone and the eye. Under no circumstances should you leave this area without color. The rouge should not be put on this particular part in a heavy fashion. Asa matter of fact, it should not be heavy on any part, of the face. However, that part around the eye should be very delicately blended.

I prefer the use of paste rouge, and while some women think it is harder to apply than other kinds, yet after you learn how to apply paste rouge it will seem much simpler. Remember that you have no powder on before you put on your rouge. This is a point to remember at all times. I have been asked whether it is well to use the same color rouge on your lips as on your cheeks, it does not show up the same color on your lips as on your cheeks.

First, they were married according to the British custom, since they were in a British colony. The ceremony was repeated again at the German consulate, and for the third time on the same day the wedding took place in an American Presbyterian church.
