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.)
