Sex Parity Brings Wane of Chivalry Increase in Number of Women Also Factor in Situation. BY HELEN WELSHIMER MA Service Staff Writer I ''OR quite some time there have ' been rumors—and occasional evidence—that chivalry is dead, or at least on the way out. Chivalry is that de ence which men pay—or did pay—to women. But lately womanhood hasn't had as many worshippers kneeling at the foot of

her pedestr.i The change is not difficult to understand. Men are always deferential to women when women are scarce. When the supply doesn’t meet the demand it is necessarv to make a special exertion to win lavor. But whev, women infest the land like the locusts

Infested Israel it’s a foolish man who goes around in continuous obesiance. Hell arise and look over the field. If women want deference they are going to hhve to surrender many marks of parity with men: stools at bars, chairs in smoking cars, places in the barber shops. If they cling to these new prerogatives the sisterhood must continue to stand, in subway or street car while men recline. Still, if men were permitted to take back the world that they gave us—or we wrested from them—if they were given freedom to shine up their dull spittoons, enjoy their stale beer, cigars and sawdust stable floors, maybe they would have a better time. And undoubtedly they would be more deferential to a woman who couldn t say “Bottoms up" and beat them to it. But life, on the other hand, might not be so much fun. Issue Presented Fun or deference? That’s the question. Historic progression shows that women have been given chivalry in the lands where women were scarce. The deferential tide has always swung westward. In the East, where women are so numerous that female infanticide was practiced, men, of course, relegated women to the patriotic function of providing sons for future armies—or to the doubtful delights oi the harem. No woman had to be won. They pleaded to be taken. They were frightened for fear they wouldn’t be. As the trend came westward, there was a scarcity of womefi. Men, pushing on to new Ands, went alone. When women joined them women were in the minority. So it was necessary to bid high and play a good hand. Chivalry came into being. Time Brings Changes Now the field is overcrowded. Not only are there women to spare, but we insist on going everywhere. To be a good sport and yet reserve a womanly reserve—oldfashioned chough the term may be, men love it—is not easy. Mayte if woman would get out of mans way he might turn around to see what nad happened and pull her back to the main concourse again. Maybe he would merely draw a deep breath and say, “Thank the gods for that!” Anyway, with the population what it is, we will have to take some definite measures if we want to be evaluated at the good old terms. • LEGION AUXILIARY BRIDGE TEA SET Fifty reservations have been made for the bridge tea of the auxiliary to Indianapolis, American Legion, to be held today at the Prepylaeum, announces Mrs. Malcolm Lucas, general chairman.
