"This bow makes it what the French call 'more important'."
Caroline Chatfield Says
Hushaiuls have as many pockets in their lives as they
have in their suits. Wives have only one. This is
why they howl when they lose then husbands.
A gentleman of the jury would like to know why it is that so
many more wives than husbands set up wolf howls over their
marriage disappamtments. He's quite sure that as many hus
bands as wives are disappointed, suffer and are sad when love
lies a-bleeding. Thus he concludes that men are better sports in
defeat than are women.
He's all wet as every woman knows and we can tell him why.
Maybe husbands are as frequently disappointed :n wives as wives in
husbands, but the men don't take it so hard. A man's life, like his suit
of clothes is full of pockets, big and little, round and square and when
he reaches into one and meets with disappointment, he has a dozen
others to forage in. The poor wives have only one pocket in their
lives and if they reach hi and find it empty they are desolated. It's
the same old story that Lord Byron put in a quick pill dose:
"Love is of man's life a thing apart
'Tis woman's whole existence." .
When a man discovers that the little woman is not the person he
took her to be he has a swell time finding diversion from his disap
pointment. The field is large: business, hobbies, men friends and if he j
is too keenly cut there will soon be some women friends and perhaps
a bottle or two. It isn't his nature to sit down and grieve about what I
he can't help. It isn't his nature to talk volubly or weep copiously
over his sorrow. He goes out- to look for gladness.
But lo the poor wife is whipped when she discovers her loss.
Her sense of humor goes out like a light. She can think of nothing
else, talk of nothing else and when a female's thoughts are sad
they automatically open the faucet. Tears and talk are her meat,
day and night. She's been pretty dependent upon that husband
and still is; for support, for approval, for affection, for appease
ment of her vanity. If he doesn't come through nobody or noth
ing can divert her until she has talked herself black in the face
and cried her eyes red.
Besides she has no office to go to where she meets many men of
many minds, to say nothing of some swishing petticoats. She has no
planning with the partner to beat the competitor, no business trips to
make new connections and foster old ones. It isn't her nature to go
out and hunt up diversion. It isn't her nature to drown her sorrow
and try to be gay. She's born a griever and she grieves.
It's a hard hearted man that resents the wolf howls of the
women when they stand by the corpses of dead loves.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY FENTRESS
United Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, (U.R) ? The newest beach
clothes from Paris are in
shantungs and washable silks
instead of the cotton prints and
piques which have been popular
for so many years.
Slacks are out of the picture
and have been transplanted by
beach pajamas and wrap
around apron skirts. Trouser
suits with fitted tailored jackets
are considered equally smart.
Beige shantung is used by
Molyneux for a pair of beach
pajamas worn with a seeveless,
backless top of rainbow striped
crepe. The short little shantung
jacket with accompanies the
costume is long-sleeved, fitted
and beltless.
Another costume from the
same house is in red and white
dotted silk. It consists of a long
wrap-around skirt, made very
full, and worn with a sleeveless
and backless top of bright red
silk. A pleasant color contrast is
achieved with the addition of a
scarf sash in almond green. The
beach hat is a broad-brimmed,
floppy affair in white straw
trimmed with almond green
flowers on the broad brim.
Pale pink shantung is used
for a third beach costume from
Molyneux which has full, pleat
ed shorts and a matching jack
et. This is worn with a sun-back
top of silk in which heavy stripes
are printed in all colors on a
white background. The beach
hat is of the same wavy striped
material and is made with a
shallow crown and a stiffened
visor-like front brim to shade
the eyes.
White silk crepe is used at
this house for a long beach coat
made with short cap sleeves and
embroiderecr with bright green
thread. It is worn with a big
green straw hat over shorts of
white silk.
TODAY'S FASHION TIP
Shantung is popular for sum
mer costumes.
