Reflections of a Bachelor

BY HELEN

ROWLAND

Onnyrlght. 1919, by TheWheeler Syndicate. Inc.) Judging from the things a man fancies he is going to do with a raisin, prohibition must be the fairy godmother of invention.. The hardest thing about having your own loving husband try to deceive

you, is to keep from hurting his pride i by letting him know that he hasn't!

succeeded. j Once upon a time a lover began his sonnets, "Fair Lady!", later they began, "Sweet Girl!", and then "Oh You Kid!", and now it's "Dear Old Thing!" Why is It, that a successful professional woman so often treats her husband as though she thought of him as her better one-half-of-one-per-cent? No, Geraldine, money won't buy love; but it will buy you a husband and a divorce which is about all some people ever seem to get out of the average "love-match" anyhow. Being "married" is largely a state

of mind. Some men are mentally and sentimentally bachelors forever no matter how often they may go through the wedding ceremony. A "perfect lady" is one who will politely avoid standing in front of a man in a street car, for fear of making him feel conspicuous at not offering her his seat. 'A man is like a pigeon. Give him plenty to eat, a comfortable house, and the freedom of the whole wide world to fly about, in, and he will never desert you for long. Age has only one heartache the bitter knowledge that it can no longer feel the heartaches we suffered from in youth.

PRETTY ACTRESS SAYS WAR WORK WAS HER GREATEST INSPIRATION AND ACHIEVEMENT

Mary Moore; Miss Mary Moore has accomplished grcut things in her very short career as an actress. It has taken her but a short five years to reach a place envied by most actresses many years her senior, that of a leading woman in a Belasco production. Miss Moore, however, is very modest about her success on trie stage and claims that she has far to go to attain her ambitions. She wants to be a leading dramatic star and believing that the greatest actresses are not beautiful she is never so pleased at mention of her beauty as she is at words of praise for her acting. Miss Moore has the distinction of having sold more Liberty bonds during the various drives than gy other actress on the stage. And this, she claims, has been her greatest inspiration and achievement. "I would not trade my experiencs, gained through selling bonds and making speeches for the loans, for ten years' salary, is the sweeping statement made by Miss Moore. At present she is touring the middle west in Belasco's production of the much talked about modern drama, "Tiger, Tiger."

Beware! When A Girl Flirts She Wants a Proposal Says Expert NEWARK, N. J., Jan. 20. "When a girl flirts with a man she does not always want to marry him; she just wants to make him propose." This was one of the epigrams delivered by Miss Louise Connolly, educational expert of the Newark public library, to the Y. M. C. A. here in what she called a "fireside talk" on "mating or how to get them." "If you don't get married, you may become all sorts of a genius. Miss Connolly said, "for the sex instinct is a creative instinct that may burst out in literature or art. "Some women are instinctive. When n instinctive woman sees a man she

wants to marry, she knows it. She just envelopes and digests him without nervousness or embarrassment. He marries her and never knows how happened. Blessed is the instinctive woman who does not have any trouble with her love affairs. "As a rule a man hunts like the Indian and goes out for food and gets food, and that's all. He's satisfied, but a girl hunts like a high class, aristocratic hunter who goes out for a lot of scalps. "There is a kind of awe about the

rich man that prevents the girl from

seeing that he is banty-legged. The girl who marries the man with the automobile does not consciously marry

for money. Some girls have a feeling that it may be their last chance. "It Is better to go through life with

out love, with an ideal in your heart,

than to go through life with an imitation."

We always believe the spinster who says she is single from choice until wo see the adoring look she gives a baby.

fashion has been decided upon by the

co-eds.

The girls will not, however, dress like Quakers, but have decided to

adopt more sensible costumes for

scnooi wear, ajtnougn party gowns, which although party gowns, which display a modest amount of neck and shoulders, slippers with a fair height of heel, and silky hosiery will be worn at functions where they will be n keeping with the occasion. Skirts that display too .much hosiery above the sWbetops will also be laid aside, as will slipshod footwear. Faculty members see in this move the first tangible break in the present style of dresses which have been

going more and more to the nude for years. They believe the way at last has been paved for a quick return to a saner dignity that will help bring women back to the standard in vogue before so many woman "isms" became rampant and the younger set was carried off their feet in a whirl of dress hysteria, regardless of their appearances. Old courtesies, they say, are on their way back and that the co-eds have been moved to break the ice to a new dress regime. A request by a California concern for an invention to brand walnuts without breaking them brought thousands of workable devices.
