CLUBDOM
ASKING questions is woman'
natural prerogative. At a re
cent meeting in New York
City, under the kuspicei of the
League of Women Votera of
the ISth - Assembly District,
candidate for office appeared
before the women and were sub
jected to questions. The meeting'
was nonpartisan in character. The
ISth district in New York City is
known as the "Silk Stocking" dis
trict. This method of going to the
heart of a political question must be
peculiarly feminine. At the Fair-
bury convention of Nebraska's Fed
eration of Women's Clubs Jast Oc
tober the question and answer plan
was quite in vogue and proved a
pronounced success. All prominent
speakers, whether . representatives
of state institutions, world peace ad
vocates, single ' tax sponsors, or
household economists, were put on
the grill after their scheduled ad
dresses, and in many cases the
"after-meeting" proved the best part
of the program.

"Who is happier? The woman
who does not love her husband,
only likes him, but has everything
that aha wants, or the woman who
loves her husband and doesn't have
the luxuries she was accustomed to
before she 'met him?" writes Puz
zled. There's only one answer to that.
But how many women make it and,
having made it, stand by their own
decision loyally and without egret?
On every street of every town
throughout the length and breadth
of the land we see the woman who
"has everything she wants" in
terms of clothes and jewels and
leisure and automobiles in which
to exploit these, other luxuries.
And. glancing at her wesigh a bit
enviously perhaps andthink that
she's the luckiest ever.
Suppose we more than glance.
Suppose, we look hard, keenly at
her. What is her expression? Jtfbi-
lant? Buoyant? Eager? Full of
life and enthusiasm Not a bit of
it. More likely bored, dull, satiated
or even bitter. As a matter of fact
if we met her stripped of her
"extras," without her wrappings and
trappings', we'd probably discuss her
something like this:
"Poor creature, I wonder what's
the matter with her? She looks so
dull and unexpectant, as if she
didn't believe in all the little happi
nesses of life that are just around
the corner most of the time. As if
she were tired of everything. As
if she'd just as soon not wake up in
the morning.. Disappointed. Cheat
ed." I know plenty of women like that.
Clarice flirts with all the men in
her set husbands, fiances, bache
lors other women's men, nobody's
claims. She rushes' feverishly about
in search of change, diversion, emo
tion. And she rushes in a sable coat
and a $7,000 car the gifts of the
man who could give her "everything
she wants. He is 50 toMier to. And
she says he's a good sort.
From a Financial Point.
.Molly-drags herself to lunches and
teas and .matinees and sits home
evenings with a man who's finished
with the things she was just begin
ning to long for when he married
her and put them from a financial
point of view right within her
reach. There's a nard glitter in her

ed. She. says her husband is very
generous.
Paula aroes in for social -work in
an electric landaUlet and a string of
pearls. She rouses envy in 1 the
breast of the girls she is supposed
to help and they encourage her be
lief that life isn't fair to anyone,
She, too, married a man who could
give her "everything she wants." He
cares for nothing but gambling and
prize fights nd they repel her more
than Rosie Sopinsky's unwashed red
hands.
Then there's Jane. She likes the
opera and good books. And Wally
adores jazz music and gossipy
magazines. But he has money
enough to keep up a fine apartment
in town and a house in the country.
There are dozens. of similar cases.
I happened to know these four, so
I cite them. They're real, not
imaginary.
Every one of these four women
married a man she liked, could tol
erate well enough, and who "could
give her everything," except the one
thing that every true woman has
wanted since the world began.
Luxuries pall. Who'd care to eat
turkey and cranberry sauce or fresh
mushrooms or artichoke hearts
three times a day for 365 days of
three years out of four, and the
extra one thrown jn, Leap year?
Who'd enjoy sunshine if there never
was any rain? Or perpetual sum
mer? Or an endless procession of
crisp, white, snow-crystalled days?
The fun of possessions isn t sp
much in having them as getting
them. The fight for acquisition is
more interesting than the mere
wrapping them up in tissue paper
could ever be.
Luxuries aren't vital in anyone's
life. Don't we all prove that by
going off Tn summer and putting
up with dreadful stuffy little two
by our rooms and still having the
time of our lives with sea and
woods and the outdoor world to
make us supremely joyous?
Comforts aren't necessary to life
not evSn necessary to happiness
Who hasn't camped out in the
Kvoods or in a shack where there
wasn't running water, and still had
the time of his. life?
The woman vho marries to in
sure herself "everything she wants"
gets what she deserves EVERY
THING BUT WHAT SHE
WANTS.
" What any true woman wants is
love. Love plus congeniality plus
tenderness plus understanding plus
loyalty. She wants to have them
and to give them. . - '
Except love, there is no truly
great possession in all the world.
And the only woman who is truly
happy in her marriage has made
the match that giyes her this great
and beautiful gift. "
The woman who has love may
have very little else, but still she

"A man there was
And hs made his prayer
Even as you and I
To a rag, a bona ,
And a hank of hair"
But some strange
Creatures there are
Who say .
That all we women
Are fair. '
They call us Madonnas
Pure and white
Proclaim us angels
Toward Heaven bent
They declare that '
All mothers
Are holy and noble
That even the least
Of us '
Soar with the eagles
And steer clear
Of the mud
That spatters the race. "
So we smile
In our efforts
To seek recognitiou
At the bar and the bench
And the polls
For it's never the men
Who calls us their .comrades
That cast their ballots ,
Against us
But the ones who eternally
Sihg woman's praises
Who wonder how
She could stoop
To the polls.
They say to the world ,
That she rules all Creation
By lifting her hand
Or a smile.
These are the men
Who filch the spoils
From widows and orphans
And the mentally helpless.
They are the ones
To decry woman's progress-
And exact 1
"Their pound of flesh"
In a bargain .
Their dreams
Of the fair sex
Are shoddy indeed
They never play fair
In the game. .
Ask the women
Who work
Or live with these dreamers
These peevish
Narrow
Theory-worshiping tyrants x
These fiendish house tyrants ,
Who pose as street angels.
Our future is safer
With quals
My dears
Take your chances
With good wholesome
Non-lying men. SELAH.
Unique Christian Name.
Possessing a Christian .name that
is probably without a duplicate in
all the world is the rather unique
distinction enjoyed by Mrs. Allan
Mackenzie, a well-known woman in
English society. Mrs. Mackenzie,
whose husband was killed in Prance,
is a daughter of Lord and Lady
Knollys, who have long been on
terms of intimacy with the British
royal family. Her Christian name,
Louvima, is happily compounded of
the Christian names of Queen Alex
andra's three daughters the prin
cess royal (Princess Louise), Prin
cess Victoria and Princess Maud,
now queen of Norway.
