Is a Man Ever Lonely?

Women should by nature make much better agents for renting furnished houses than men do, as they can point out the desirable features with persuasive and dulcet Insistency and suggest remedies so simple and practical for the undesirable things that any man and most women would be keen to begin on the suggested “doing over.” Every woman is really at heart a bom homemaker. Like a bird, she has the nest building Instinct, and the house ruled and run by a’ woman, married or single, has a charm and subtle refinement that other,,houses have not unless the man is an artist or has artistic tendencies. A man mostly longs to be comfortable and if comfortable will cheerfully enjoy quite hideous surroundings, just so that no one touches his pipe or his papers or “tidies up” the other belongings that crowd his den. Sometimes he will feel vaguely dissatisfied oh coming back to a dreary bachelor’s apartment after dining well in some genbof a home, but he always consoles himself by the thought that any alterations for style would cause him to lose some of his comfort.
