Woman’s Editorial
By FLORENCE DAVIES
V>
Ry FIORENTE DAVIES
Enter, one of life’s stock yillains
the oldish millionaire who Is weary
of the wife of his youth, now grown
old and plain and who has fallen
for the blandishments of a young and
bautiful woman.
It’s done every day, with a hurried
divorce, a wedding reremony In a dis
tant city, a life of the eyebrows In
the home town, and then the world
jogs on
Just recently the newspapers told
the same story with the lead role
taken by a man whose wares have
made his name known throughout the
land.
Back home with his bride of a few
weeks, he verified the usual plot by
refusing to talk for publication.
But In the end the reporters get
you. One of them got this chap, and
as is always the case, the best of
the story was after the conversation
reached the confidential, ’’not for-pub
lieation" stage.
“I don't ask much of a woman,”
said this particular villain, in a con
fidential interlude.
“All I ask is Just that a wife be
sweet. She was a good woman, in
her way, but she wasn't sweet."
EVen an Inquiring reporter can't
presume upon a confidence, or he
might well have parried that charge
with the question, "But what, my
dear sir, did you do to make It easy
for her to be sweet? Did you pro
voke sweetness, by being fairly sweet
yourself, or were you an overbearing,
indifferent old grouch, wrapped up in
your money affairs, who took the wife
of your youth for granted and ex
pected her to take the leavings of
whatever interest or attention or
good nature you had on hand?”
Probably no one will ever know
the answer to that question, and to
that other question of whether or
not his charge was true, or of who
first started not to be sweet and so
to cause the other one to forget
sweetness. Perhaps the truth would
be about a fifty-fifty average of
blame.
But the Incident does go to show,
that the glib way in which we take
It for granted that youth and good
looks are everything, may be a long
way from the truth.
Suppose the woman who had i;i \vn
up with the millionaire, who hid
worked and fought with him from
the early hard days of poverty into
the affluent easy days of prosperity,
had always held him close with her
tenderness and her smile, suppose she
had always been cheerful and affec
tionate and sometimes a little of a
wheedler, do you suppose then, that
her unstylish figure and frankly plain
face would have made much differ
enoe?
Doubtless the old chap seldom war
ranted such effort on her part. For
he was probably often grouchy and
uninspiring himself. But just for
argument's sake suppose she had al
ways been (whether he deserved It
or not) a little foolish about him and
always cheerful? Do you suppose then
that youth and looks could have
taken him away from her?
Yes, in some cases, where a man
is without character to start with,
such a thing could be. But 9 times
out of 10, there are two sides to the
sad tale of the worldly villain who
renounces the' wife of his youth be
cause she isn't young and pretty.
What if she were neither young nor
pretty nor sweet?
One is tempted to believe that she
would always havp seemed to he the
first had she really been the last.
Tennis Togs
At Cannes one always sees the der
nier cri of tennis smartness. The
tournament that has just ended at
the Carlton club was no exception to
the rule. White is of course the
regulation wear and very few women
depart from this rule though some
appear In pale pink or yellow. Plain
one-piece dresses with pleats to give
fullness down the side seams or with
a plain waist and pleated skirt joined
on have been worn by several well
known tennis players, among them
Suzanne Lenglen.
White duck, pique, men's shirtings,
kasha, mororaJn. crepe de chine, crepe
mogul and cotton poplins are the
favorite matertas for the tennis dress.
Sweaters in Shetland wool and of
a heavier hand-knitted make in all
manner of bright colors, soma with
gay designs are worn at the com
mencement of play to he discarded
later on.

Ethel Schermerhorn and Carol Chaloud hare achieved this distinction once hefore. _
Crack players generally choose for
the Riviera linen sandals with rope
•olea. These are more praetical on
hard courts than the smarter buck
skins with rubber soles which are
appropriats to grass courts.
White lisle tftireai storking* ere
chosen by these women who do not
want to be put off their game by the
uncomfortable knowledge that there
is a ladder In the fragile sifts stock
ing. There is. however, a slightly
heavier silk ribbed model that la be
coming very popular, with tennis
players.
A warm wrap to put on directly
the game Is finished is essential on
the Riviera. Suzanne Lenglen la
wearing this year a coat of gray
suiting lined with crepe de chine and
collared and ruffed with badger.
Some women prefer* blanket cloth In
beige or some other light color. Many
choose white with collar and cuffs of
angora gnat or of imitation fog.
Scarfs are always worn with there
coats, sometimes a woolen ona to
match the sweater underneath, eome
tlmes a printed one of the Rodler
type.
In natural wool color had a collar
with long stole ends, one of which
was adorned with a huge monogram
worked In black and scarlet.
A three-quarter length kasha coat
Both, onlookers snd players, wore
skirts fully 10 to 12 Inches from the
ground. Some Americans and Eng
lishwomen wore longer ones but they
are obviously not Items of a nsw
wardrobe.
Ths three-qaurter length coat of
quilted rhints In a tiny flower de
sign with border and collar and cuffs
of fur Is a very popular garment.

Age a Difference. ^
My Dear Martha Allen: I am
keeping company with a young min
a few’ years my junior. lie asked
me to marry him, but when I con
fessed I was several years older than
he this man suddenly grew cold to
ward me. My heart Is broken, for
I love him very much. W hat shall
I do? HUE.
Isn't It better to have this young
man disclose his feelings about such
things as difference in ages now than
later- You couldn’t possibly be hap
py with a man younger than your
self if the gap in ages means so much
to him. Consider yourself fortunate
that you found out his attitude soon
enough to And happiness elsewhere.
You don't tell me your age. hut I am
sure that there is opportunity to meet
other men who are perhaps older
than yourself.
Dear Martha Allen: You have
solved many problems, so won't you
try to solve mine? Two years ago
I met a boy and since then I ha *
learned to love him dearly.
But there is just one thing that
matters. My parents are very ft ru t
and won’t allow m* to S° nut will
him. He comes over every night and
we stay on the front porch and talk.
I fed sort Of queer having him sit
<.n the front porch and not inviting
him to rtime in on account of iny
parent*. He has asked me several
times to go out with him, but I have
refused. I am afraid to go with hiiu
for fear my parents will find it on*.
I have never gone out with a boy and
would like to go with this one. ]s>
you know In any way in whirh t
could change my parents' opinions
towards him? BROWN EYEY
Why not find out the real reason
for your payents' objections? If thev>
are unfounded you ought to be able to
persuade your parents to allow the
hoy to rail upon you. It may be be
cause of your age, which you do not
tell. Parents are fairly good Judge*
of modern youth, so you had better
trust to them. If the youth had toe
right port of pride, he wouldn't come
to see you and only sit on the porch.
Ever thipk of that? Hook at all side*
of the question instead of just your
own side and I am sure you will find
a way out.
T. X.: To avoid embarrassment
there should be two prize* at a card
party, one for the honor guest snd on*
for the best player.
