Why Are Young
Men Not in
Homes?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Who is to blame for the fact that
thousands of young men who earn
fair Salaries live in halt bedrooms in
stead of in, homes? Why do so many
rirl have to flutter in erouos to the
movies or sit at home bewailing
their fate because Prince Charming
seems to have no intention 01 nut'
terint uo over the horizon?
Don't men and women want to
marry nowadays?.
I've been Donderinsr this question
ever since an evening not far gone
by when I sat In a quiet nttie
restaurant with a group of pretty
girls whose Sunday evening diversion
this manless meal had to be. At
nearbv tables sat young men in
crouDs of two or three or even alone,
Now and then they glanced over at
my girls with something l inter
preted as longing. But there were
the men and the girls divided after
the fashion of a Quaker meeting
house, i ve seen this happen over
and over again. Why?
Not the entire situation can be dis
missed as one of the girls sought to
do:
"We don't know any men," said
she. "Who gets a chance to meet
men the sort of men she'd like? I
mean? If I could meet the sort of
men I like "
Do vou take any time to dis
cover whether or not you like the
men you meet?" I ventured.
"I know I don't." replied the girl
with an air of finality.
Perhaps if I'd gone about inquir
ing of the lonely men, they'd have
summed up the situation as coldly
and with equal air ot finality.
But no one can persuade me that
in a normal world, run on normal,
human lines, men prefer dining in
restaurants of a Sunday night to get
ting a "snack" in the kitchen at
home.
The high cost of living doesn't ex
plain away human nature. Neither
does the difficulty of meeting "the
right sort of people." What does?
Read a bit of Robert Lcuis Stev
enson with me and sec if it helps us
toward a solution:
"They are taught to follow dif
ferent vritues, to- hate different vices,
to place their ideal, even for each
other, y in different achievements.
When a horse has run away and two
flustered people in the gig have each
possessed themselves of a rein, we
know the end of that conveyance will
be in the ditch."
The great fault in our social
scheme today is that we train our
boys and girls so differently. We
magnify the differences which exist
naturally and in Nature's scheme
until we've practically taught our
young folks to speak different lan
guages. We've made them so con
scious of their dissimilarity that they
can't look over the wall it builds and
get a square view of each other.
That makes modern social exist
ence comparable to Stevenson's "gig
in a ditch."
Girls are shown a small field of
experience and taught a very strict
code ot judgment for all action.
Their brothers are permitted to
view a far broader cross-section of
life and allowed a proportionately
wider .code of morals.
Girls are taught to believe that
an action which condemns them to
the outefLpale of society is permis
sible almost desirable in a "real,
red-blooded man."
What is more natural than that
two young people looking at each
other across a gulf of over-self-conscious
natural differences, with
many addenda in the line of culti
vated customs and morals, should
fail to understand each other.
That's what our lopsided social
scheme ha9 done to us. But what
do we ourselves do to direct our
selves from the happy haven of
home every man and woman's
normal desire?
Girls take far too much interest
in a man's ability to spend, dance
and show them a good time. A
handsome, amusing good-for-nothing
is likely to be far more of a
"favorite with the ladies" than the
plain, honest chap who's twice as
good and unselfish and kind be
cause he is not spending his life's
energies on the little social things
that charm but don't support.
Since tinsel virtues appear to ap
peal to women, what is more natural
than that a fine man should con
clude that girls don't like him and
so turn from them to the other fel
lows who are in like case?
How many girls would be satis
fied to dine with a man in the same
quiet restaurant here they go vrith
other girls? Or on the 75-cent
"combination " dinner" they take
when they're paying the check them
selves? f v
How many men, on the other
hand, are willing to dig below re
serve and shyness and quiet sim
plicity to find companionship and
charm? Don't most men try to
meet the "pretty doll" who gives
them noting but the thrill of hav
ing the other boys say:
"Some pippin you were out with
last night, Charlie. Alt there with
the looks. I'll' say so."
Charlie didn't get one warm hu
man thrill out of the evening with
the pippin, nor one nice, human
coiy bit of talk. But he spent on
her the whole amount of his weekly
pay envelope he can afford under
the head of "pleasure," and so he
has to eat with the boys while he's
recuperating. The worst of it is
that he'll take. his gaudy companion
out again to impress other men. And
all the while he's craving the sim
plicity and sweetness and modesty
that are sitting right at the next ta
ble because the right men aren't
anvwhere around.
Whenever it occurs to men to
seek in women the same fine com
panionship they find in their men
friends, things change. Whenever
women meet men on the same hon
est give and take basis they have
for women,' loneliness and longing
vanish and friendship comes in their
place.
Simplicity and honesty speak no
language of sex but one of univer
sal humanity. When men and
women reach out for friendship in
stead, of thrill or Jmpressiveness or
cheap appeal, marriage will come
trotting right in on the heels of the
big honest liking which it younger
sister to love.
Rods Through Curtains
When running rods through lace
curtains you can prevent them from
catching and tearing curtains ' by
placing an old glove finger on the
end of the rod before running
through curtain.

How to Keep Rugs Clean
Rugs should be kept clean with a
good carpet sweeper or electric
vacuum cleaner, as the hard grits of
sand will, if not removed, injure the
nap. Do not sweep Wilton or Ax
minster rugs hard at first as the
tufts are liable td loosen before they
are pressed down by usage. Always
swffn with the nan.
All Wilton and Axminster rugs are
sheered when finished, consequent
ly light fluff or loose wool will
sweep out for some time. This is a
feature of the fabric and not a de
fect. Do not pull out any knots or tufts.
Cut them off, even with the surface
of the rtig9. The tufts in any domes
tic tun can lie deliberately pulled
out. This is due to the nature of
the weave.
Liarlit and delicately colored rugs
arc liablaS'to become soiled and ap
parently lose color. A thorough
cleaning generally restores the orig
inal colors. All high pile carpets may
appear spotted due to the uneven
crushing of the nap. With use the
surface will gradually assume a more
even tone.
Protect your rugs from bright or
strong sunlight, as all domestic rugs
will fade some.
Do not drag heavy furniture across
your rugs as it is liable to pul out
the tufts.
Your rugs should be regularly
scoured by a rug cleaner. Never
pack away in storage unless they
have been thoroughly cleaned.
Turn your rugs around in the
rooms occasionally so that the great
er part of the traffic does not come
in one or two places.
When washing is necessary use
mild soap with tepid, not hot water,
else the alkali of stronger cleansers
will eat into the surface and destroy
the color. Never flood the surface
with water. It is best to wash about
a yard at a time, rinse with clear
water and let dry thoroughly.
Given a coat of varnish, linoleum
survives a much longer period of
wear. Before varnishing, make sure
that the surface is free from grit or
grease. Let varnish dry overnight be
fore walking on the floor.
. Waxed linoleum is easier to dean
with a dust mop. Dust and grease
will not stick to.it.
Center Piece Hint
To launder heavy embroidered
round or oval centerpieces, wash aiM
starch quite stiff. While wet divide
into fourths or eights, place paper on
rug and pin to floor, as you would
stretch curtains on a stretcher.
When dry remove pins and you will
have a center done up beautifully,
without any ironing.
