ON WOMEN.
Only a very few of the men we know discuss women in the way which
pleases us. Some insist upon analysing them, very seriously; others treat
them as a joke: all are wrong. At one time we should have said, with
Farny: "Une paisible indifference est la plus sage des vertus." But we
now believe that an attitude of calm indifference does not rive tha true ner-
spective.
For ourself, we prefer to look at a woman as a puzzle; not as a crypto
gram for there, ultimately, one would find some meaning: but as a rath
er complicated synthesis of wood and wire. Oscar Wilde put it correctly
when he characterized women, as a sex, as Sphinxes without secrets.
The puzzle analogy shows that the value of the thing is in the attempt,
not in the success. After one has solved a puzzle, what has he gained?
And what has he got after finding the key to a woman's personality! There
is nothing further to do; it is all rather futile. One might replace the pieces,
but with the solution once found, all pleasure is gone.
The delight in the whole situation is that an imaginative person never
runs out of puzzles. Some of them, to be sure, may be very similar; and
yet there will be enough variation to make the pastime rather enjoyable.
a
And if you will allow us to be cynical for a bit longer, we shall try to
grope our way to a conclusion.
The value of women, then except as mere materialistic utilities is
not intrinsic; it lies in their possibilities for, divertissement. One solves puz
zles to shuffle off ennui. But as soon as he begins to formulate rules or
methods of solution; as soon as he starts to make it an important part of
his life; as soon as he takes it seriously, he becomes absolutely asinine.
That tolerant old Chinese sage, Ah Dam, summed up the whole matter
when he had his calligrapher brush for him, in delicate ideographs, this
maxim:
"There is more pleasure in pursuit than in possession."
OH, DEAR I
Oh tall and fair and handsome Claire,
Your grey, monocled eye
In manner bold does take and hold
My heart, when you pass by.
Your golden hair befits you, Claire,
My soul seeks after thine.
But you I sigh are woman-shy
You never will be mine.
JEANNETTE.
Jeannette:
Suppose you drop around to the office this afternoon, about 4 o'clock,
and talk it over.
Claire.
We suggested that Celia should have written a sketch of Satyranus, in
his own manner. Since she didn't comply, we have had him write it himself.
While we were talking with him about it, we suggested that some day he
might run an explanation of one of his portraits so that the mob would
know what it meant.
Satyranus tells us he has had several calls to write satirical sketches
of his acquaintances. We suggested that this was a good way to make
friends. A common person almost adores the sophisticate who pays enough
attention to him to pierce him with a satanic pen-thrust.

THE COLLECTED WORKS OF SATYRANUS.
A Review.
It was his own conceit which led him to dub himself Satyranus, as if he
were more than one of that circle of wits who gathered about the supersc
phisticated Claire Montesrey, the then budding Dean Swift of the campus.
A typical example of this school of mountebank-writers, Satyranus is
the most interesting, since his works are singular in their language, scope,
intensity, unity, and brevity. I am certain, as certain as that I live, that
subjacent his whimsical jocosities and apparent nonsense were cryptic, re
condite, and hidden significance discernible only to the initiated, for he
writes as if he were suppressing pertinent evidence, as if he were giving
only the quintessence of the matter at band.
His tortuous style, with its youthful flippancy, studied confusions, mul
titudinous antitheses, petty conciliatoriness, flagrant "non sequiturs,"
Pecksniffian qualifications, pointed epigrams, terse ellipticisms following
upon sentences of Johnsonian sonorousness, sophomoric philosophizing,
clandestine argument, brazen irreverence, and satanic logic, implies a dis
dain for his subjects and his readers: be scribbles like one concerned only
with the verdict of cloomsdj. His disguised pleasantries arouse only our
interest, instead of educing that cynical smile which true wit elicits.
We should be glad to applaud his darts did we see his targets; praise
his learning did we understand his allusions; or concede his criticism were
made clear. But his talents were spent m concealing me tecnnic ana
objects of his satire: as if that were a duty of Scaramouch I Who but Him
self knows the minor poet he caricatured? At the time, Claire Montesrey
could, perhaps, have interpreted the more subtle portions of Satyranus'
sketch of Basil Barley, classical mythologist; few could do more than dis
entangle the character from the pyrotechnic verbiage. The undeviatingness
of his brilliance manifested his personality even when he attempted to en
sconce it by various pseudonyms, for he published material as Boswell,
S. J., John Patmore, etc.
No one goes to such infinite pains merely to be diverting or roguishly

SATYRANUS.
ONE LAST RETORT.
Dear Claire :
Good Heavens! What is to become of our intellectual aristocracy?
Are you going to put egoism on a democratic plane? Is your constitu
tion to be:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of the Ego?
Your criticism is illogical. If one is to be a true egoist, must one
not condemn false egoism? What does it profit me to be an egoist if
Satyranus can be one too? We shall soon have the Rotary Club devel
oping ita ego!
At any rate, I have not been inconsistent. I am not primarily an
egoist I am primarily a poet I am an egoist only in so far as the two
things are consonant
An egoist is not necessarily a creative artist To be a true egoist
one must be first an artist otherwise one's ego is mere vapor.

Chancellor Favors
Organized Athletics
Chancellor Avery, in a discussion
of college athletics compiled by the
United Press in December, speaks in
favor of collegiate sports. In sug
gesting a "middle course between
commercialism, football and the reg
ulr college curriculum of studies,"
Chancellor Avery struck a keynote
with which most of the college pro
fessors interviewed were in harmony.
The Chancellor defended athletics
in the following language "In Eur
opean University circles, there is a
lack of wholesome excitemen not
conducive to clean living. Youths
desire emotional outlet and I can
think of no better means than
throutrh organized athletics. Youths
not intellectually inclined are drawn
o our colleges by athletics and thus
become deep school scholars."
