Mrs. P. J. Fiynn
Defends Sex from
Attorney's Gibes
Former Plattsmouth Lady Takes Is
sue in "Posey" With Clar
ence Darrow.
From Mondays Daily
Clarence Darrow may b a mighty
man. !uit when it conn.- to the theme
of "woman. " "he's all wet." accord
ing to Mrs. P. J. Fiynn. V.o22 Haw
thorne street, Omaha, who in snap
py verse takos' a crack at an article
by the famous attorney appearing 'in
the December number of Vanity aT'.r.
A friend of Mrs. Fiynn persuaded
her to let The Omaha Bee have her
reply, ai;d it is published here.
Writing; Since Childhood.
Mrs. Fiynn has been writing
"rymes" as she modestly designates
her efforts, since she was a little girl,
but this is the first time that she has
fubmitted anything for publication.
She has a book of children's verse in
preparation.
A Lusy matron, the mother of
four children. Mrs. Fiynn said she
finds little time for literary pursuit,
but gets many of her ideas while go
ing through the routine of household
duties.
"I read the article by Darrow while
at breakfast," she said, "and im
mediately scratched oC the answer."
Answer to Darrow.
Her answer follows:
Dear Mr. Darrow:
Your expressions so narrow
I read in a Vanity Fair.
Though I mean no offense,
I am moved to defense
Of my sex in tie matter of hair
You've proven a srnatter
Of so-celled gray matter.
And yet, you rant and rave
Of bobs, sleek and boyish,
Or else cute and coyish.
And even the permanent wave.
You heave a deep sigh.
And the new ways decry.
And you speak of the days of good
cheer.
When men in the chair
Could tell tales anf swear
With a woman never to hear.
'Tis asked. "What's in a name?"
And yours has brought fame.
Though "Clarence" is quite apropos
For one who confesses
A love for long tresses.
And who speaks of a "date" as a
"beau."
You defend evolution.
Have a crime for a solution
And for this the world owes j-ou a
debt.
P.ut with "Woman" your theme.
You're at sea, it would seem;
Perhaps that is why you're "all wet."
For those of today
Are the same, in a way.
As they were in the day you deplore.
Though they have bobbed their hair.
And they, too, can swear.
Their hearts are the same as of yore.
They will smoke with you, spit with
you.
Swap risque stories.
And truly be wonderful pals.
Put they'll cry for you. lie for you.
Suffer and die for you.
Just like the "old-fashioned gals."
