sniggers Dan Cupid, and pulls his Napoleonic lock. "I never knew
it had died for even a aingle day! Since the atone age, when there were
stony-hearted girls, whose descendants are running fancy-free to this day,
scarred of heart but never once pierced full and fair, it's been played at

struck. A jolly little flirty face peered over a much-peppered target
whereon the red heart bloomed, unmarred, and crowed aloud "Never

By DOROTHY DIX.
Why do women take offense so
much more easily than men? There
is no nse, my sisters, in raising an in
dignant howl of protest and saying
that they don't We all know that
they do and that every woman bristles
with feelings as a porcupine does with
quills.
You cannot deal with a woman as
you can with a man; you cannot talk
to a woman as you can to a man, and
on your life you dare not tell - a
woman the truth as you would a man.
she always has to be bandied with
kid gloves, because, as the homely
old phrase goes, she takes offense
where none was intended.
The most curious and abnormal il
lustration of this is to be found in the
fact that if you tell a woman that
something is wrong with her costume,
ninety-nine times out of a hundred
she sees a deadly insult in your kindly
meant attention and gives you a bale
ful glare that teaches you to let all
future women go around with their
plackets gaping or their shirt waists
unbuttoned if they happen that way.
Only recently a woman friend of
mine whose philanthropy no amount
of experience can ever entirely
squelch, was walking up the street be
hind a ladv who had neglected m
making her toilette to hook her skirt
belt and was, consequence tnereot, in
imminent danger of losing an impor
tant part of her attire. Said my friend,
with a winning smile:
"Pardon me, madam, but your skirt
is uniasiencu m ine dsck ana is sooui
to dron.
baid the other woman, with a took
that brought the temperature down
to zero in mat rmmeauwe vicinny:
I don t see that mars any business
of votsrs." .
Which proposition closed the in
cident
This is by no means, an isolated
case. Nearly every woman has had
something similar happen to her when
she ventured to tell a sister woman
that something was awry with her
attire. As for calling a woman's at
tention to having gotten her false hair
on crooked, or her figure on hind part
before, or that she had hit tne rouge
box too liberally, or had located her
eyebrows in the wrong place, nobody
who wasn't a candidate for martyr
dom and heavily insured.for the bene
fit of her family would dream of com
mitting such a foolhardy act
In contradistinction to this, im
agine the fervor of gratitude that
would be a man s i hank you, old
chap," if some good-hearted brother
would call Ins attention to the tact
that he had gotten on his clothes in a
way that made him a figure of fun, or
that some unperceived accident had
happened to his attire.
If in a jam in a store or on the cars
or at the theater you unintentionally
jostle a woman she adopts the attitude
of accusing you of having done it on
purpose and with malice aforethought
As for attempting to apologize, it is
a waste of bteatb. The offended one
turns upon you with a look that says
as ptairiry as print, "I knew that you
did ft on purpose and that you have
jast been waking for this opportunity
to step on my skirt or bump my hat.
If you hadn't why didn't you tear that
other woman'j dress -or smash her hat

Women also show a diabolical in
genuity m discovering personal insults
m general statements. It, tor in
stance, in a mixed company of women
you should incautiously make the
statement that red hah- indicated
temper every auburn-locked lady in
the room would tump on you with the
announcement that she guessed she
was just about as amiable and as easy
to get along with as some people she
could mention, if she would, that had
black hair or brown.
The great foe to all women's or
ganizations has been this talent that
women have for taking offense where
none was intended, and when anything
was said that tney cottM possibly con
strue into any sort of a ermctsm on
themselves, their families or their
housekeeping, getting up and taking
their doll rags and going home.
HappDy, this is not as bad as it used
to be, and the great mission of the wo
men s clubs has been to teach women
to look at things from a broader
standpoint that the purely personal.
When woman got so that she could
have her resolution voted down with'
out regarding every other woman who
opposed her as a mortal enemy it
marked a milestone in the progress of
the sex.
Women's ptoneness to take undue
offense is one of the chief stumbling
blocks that she finds in business. Busy
business men, harried and worn, have
no time to soothe down the sensibili
ties of a creature who is 80 per cent
teelmgs and a) per cent nerves, and
that is a conclusive reason why the
office boy is more apt to go up the
ladder of success than the office girL
There are few women who can
listen to a criticism of their work
witnout constoermg it a deadly in
sult, no matter how bad the work n,
and. this being true, and an employer
not wishing to be put m the tight of
insulting a woman, hods it easier and
pleasanter to dismiss a girl rather
than point out to her the mistakes she
makes, thus depriving the girl of the
chance of correcting her shortcomings
and learning to do her work prooerly.
But you might multiply instances
endlessly to prove the touchiness of
women. Why is this? Why does the
sex go about with a chin on its shout
derf
Is it constrtutionai?
Is it sensitiveness?
Or .is it a lack of the sense of
humor?
