N.wipap.r SyndlcaU.) 0 Reflections of a Bachelor Qirl Bij HELEN ROU3LAN J A MAN always lets somebody else do his worrying for him but t woman doesn't need any help. This Is nn age of self-made men, machine-made laws, home-made drinks and home-made beauties. It Isn't until nfter flie smashup, that a man decides that It requires something besides brute force and de termination to run a motorcar or a wife. It doesn't tnke so very much love to "make the world go 'round," If you have plenty of money to oil the axis. "Leisure," to a married woman, Is that sweet "pause In the duy's occu pation," when nobody around the house can think up anything else for her to do. Yes, Mllllcent, the difference be tween the way In which a miln tries to "persuade" you of something be fore marriage, and the wuy In which he will try to "convince" you of some thing nfter murrlage. Is us great as the difference between the way lie talks to a toddle-top, and the way he talks to a balky flivver. Every man fondly hopes to and woman who will "understand" li Ira. and who, at the same time, knows nothing of the world and Its wicked ness. A compliment from a husband would be as precious as pure radium, If be didn't always hand It to you w rapped In the cotton-batting of "good advice." A man's love Is not dend, until he begins to think of bis wife, merely as the person who disturbs bis morning beauty-sleep, and his after-dinner rev eries. (Copyright by Helen Rowlind.)
