.Girl Says No Chance to Win With Widow in Race By MARTHA ALLEN. WHY should girla stop in the race for attention when a widow, grass, or otherwise, conies into view? Perhaps the single girls are a bit lazy and fail to put forth the effort in winning the men. A young woman, unmarried, has written a letter of protest at the un fairness of a situation in which she and a widow were rivals. "I might as well give up,” she writes. "What chance has a single woman with r widow, anyways?" There is no reason to believe that widows have more charm, patience, more virtues or more brains than a single girl. It may he that they have learned not to expect the im possible of a man. The widow isn't so dangerous when you stop to figure out just what her method of self-salesmanship contains. If ths girls who are still single would observe a hit and take a few tips from some one with experience they would be ahead in the race with their youth and brightness. Prob ably the widows have learned to bury their dreams for an ideal man and ideal conditions of marriage. They perhaps realize a common sense ver sion of The man as he Is. The young woman who wrote about her troubles explained that she ex pected the man who was courting her to remember her with flowers and candy upon occasion. But the widow asked for nothing and got everything, she said. The man should make every advance, this girl believed; he should compliment her on her new gown—do all the entertain . ing, ^ The widow knows very well ■MlK^very man should do just these things to win a girl, but she knows best how to get this attention. The best of men need a hint once in a. while, a suggestion that is tact fully offered, and they will usually get this heary co-operation from a widow. She isn’t timid, is the widow with brains, but still she doesn’t make it apparent that she has her heart set on a second marriage. A widow knows that some men are a little selfish and forgetful; that they love to be made at ease and that after all they afl have some good material in their makeup. A widow forgets a man’s shortcomings. She is willing to make concessions and compromises and to help develop the perfections the man does possess. In short, the widow is willing to work for her success in the business of finding a mate. Those “Cake-Raters.’' Dear Miss Allen: What do you say to declaring war on these things com monly called "cake eaters?" Aren't they positively the most disgusting, murder-justifying things that walk? If a man would walk up and gently kill a "cake eater" the policemen wouldn’t do a thing except to pat him on the hack. Wouldn't it be nice If there were some way to rid a town of them. Most of them are holding down a clerk's job In a store instead of doing a man's work and getting a man's pay. They spend all their money for clothes and cigarets. I like to see a clean-cut man but these slicked up "cake eaters” are awful. Even at that many girls will go with them and turn a real man down. Some girls are funny though, aren’t they? If you try to hug and kiss them, you are too fresh. If you don’t try this you are too slow. If you tell them how nice they are then they think you are trying to flatter them. If you treat them like a gentleman should, it is just part of your game. If you carry on a meaningless con versation then you’re a nut—so what are you going to do? C. A. There have been enough revolu tions. wars and insurrections in the past few years, C. A., without stirring up trouble over such minor upheavals as are caused by one type of indivi dual. Tour letter sounds as if you -had been beaten in the race for the heart of a girl and that very person who won is a “cake eater,” as you call him. There is no use trying to rally a whole collection of workers to your cause to rout an unimportant group. Some girls may be funny, an you say, but there are plenty of them who are not so queer. If I were you I'd look around and find some that would appreciate the qualities of a "real” man. • Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” For a Time I)r.

"I don’t know the new people, but they tell me it’s quite amusing, and the food is good—will be for a week or two,” cynically. » ’’It's always a safe bet to follow the trail of a new broom." his broth er-in-law commented, and then we found ourselves In a brilliantly light ed and strikingly decorated room with open space, where, early as it was, a few people were dancing. A man whose manner conveyed the mixture of ingratiating deference and mon archal authority possessed only by headwaiters and department store walkers advanced toward us, and I saw his small eyes flicker rapidly, ap praisingly over our party. “A table for four,*’ said Dicky, when he and Edwin had appeased an Importunate boy with the delivery of their hats, coats and sticks, "where we can see well, hut not too near the center of things.” The man bowed with the ready ac quiescence which Dicky always man ages to elicit from his ilk. “Ah! yes. I have exactly what monsieur wtshen, the view without the so much con tact. This way, please.'* He led us to a table which Indeed was in an Ideal location for our wishes—but Dicky hesitated for sev eral seconds before saying with a touch of loftiness: — THIS WEEK’S CHOICE NEW YORK With Cherries Baby —* smooth, rich French p Vanilla, filled with deli reggy eious Maraschino Cherriea.

Send us a waiter at once, please." That he had slipped the man a generous tip 1 knew by the profound ly respectful gesture and prompt re treat of the table monarch. In his place there Immediately appeared a waiter with menus and an order blank, while an omnibus went through the motions of his craft a few feet away. Dicky turned to Harriet and me, expectantly. “I want to be surprised," I said childishly. “Go ahead and order for me at least." "For me, too," Harriet seconded. "But Edwin—” She stopped, biting her lip, and I saw that she regretted betraying the supervision of her husband's diet which she was wont to exercise. “The lid’s off, Harriet,” Dr. Braith waits said reltellloiisly. "I’m going to eat everything Dicky orders, no mat ter what the consequences.’’ "There won't be any consequences,” Dicky retorted. "I'll have you* know I hold a certificate as dietician from the best cooking school in the coun try,” and our laugh at hts absurdity covered Harriet's confusion, which was made up, I guessed, of appre hension and resentment In equal quantities. That Dicky could be wisely thoughtful beneath Ills foolery I well knew, and X was not surprised at his dinner order, which, while it would have been approved by an epicure, held none of the dishes that from Harriet's lips Dicky and I had learned were taboo to Kdwln's digestive peace. But from tho tiny cangpes to the special cheese which was to come with the coffee, the dinner promised to be a gastronomic triumph, and when he had finished the order, we applauded him with softly clapping hands. Put Harriet's eyes held grati tude. I think that, her anxiety concern ing her husband’s physical welfare being allayed, she decided to throw off all other cares for the evening. At any rate she surprised me by the vivacity which embroidered her dig nity as might Jewels upon velvet, and by the apparent zest with which she, entered into the gayety of the eve ning, talking wittily, laughing appre ciatively at Dicky's nonsense, even investing her stately dancing move ments with a touch of modern extrav agance. "I haven't had so good a time In years,” she said, as the coffee was served.

Her husband looked at her with approv ing eji^s. "We ought to do this oftener," he said. "It would do ua both good. We stick pretty close to a profAslonal schedule, Harriet and I.” "Why don't you retire?" Dicky asked with the bluntness of a favored "relative, "you surely don't need to aiake any more money, and you’ve earned a long rest and play spell. If anybody ever has." A shadow crossed Edwin Bralth wattes mobile, expressive face, and I *aw It reflected In his wife’s eyes. "A rest Isn’t what I want,” he said, and the subconscious mournful* ness in his voices*polled the rest of the evening for me and haunted me for hours after we loft the restau rant and went home to the apart ment. For I knew from Harriet's re morseful confidence to me what it was that he wanted and now never could have—the companionship of children of his own. n Jirp/nt BPralfl r*Tf^ f| § J ^||.|»’IV; There is a Handy Service store in your neigh borhood.
