.Women Crave Romance And Are Secretly l DlS8pp0Il1i§€d Becau se They Do Not Get a Robert Taylor Performance When the Question is Popped

1n ofthe disabilities under which women have always suffered is ‘f -~“1-lé' 1h" prmlesc 0i PODPmE the question and asking whatever gDllhfiiilfll friends fired their fancies for their hearts and hands, l

This has worked a grievous wrong upon i ‘he malTllng 58X, for it has forced women i to do their husband-hunting utider COVER, winch naturally cramped their style, Also i ll 118$ resulted in many a woman having to l ma"? her oportunity instead of her prcfer- ' i-ncc. For what can a poor girl do who 1.; forbidden by convention to ask for what she wants except to take what she can get and thank God it is no worse?

Another grievance under which women suffer is the way men propose. Women can forgive men for making them work sec- YEUY building up to the great scene, but what f" they can't forgive is when the crisis s: the proposal comes the way men muff the act. It is a fact well known to all anti sundry that when a. man asks a woman to marry ltiin shc zfinost iii- variably bursts into tears. The man pats her shoulder and sdyg --l_llerl-, there, now” and compiacently thinks that she is weeping with joy because . he has come across at last and she is orerconte with delight in getting l such a prlze as he is. l

B"? h’! ‘Yelihly. the Womfln i5 Crying with rage and disappointment be- cause her big moment lms flattened out like a. pancake. Ever since she got out of kindergarten she has geen dreaming of her first. proposal and constructing a romance in which she would be the heroine and some tall and S‘§t\l\\'fli‘l jvouth with passionate dark eyes would climax his wooing by asking her to be his forever in beautiful poetic phrases that she would trezistire in her memory as long as she lived, while the moon cast, its glamour over the scene and music wove its spell in the distance.

Oh, 5- 1111-1119" limes She hid Pictured to herself that heart-clutching drama, and sin: knew just how he would clasp her in his arms while he murmured "my oivn." And then, ‘when the reality came, when the man actuaiy DID pop the question in a crowded restaurant with his mouth t full of corned beef and cabbage and when he asked her for her heart as ' custioily" as he would have asked her for a. peck of potatoes, it. is no won- 3 der that she is mad enough to refuse him it‘ she only dared. Ask any l ivoinan what. her husband said when he proposed to her and she will say she can't remember, But. she does. It is a. recollection that is seared into her very soul.

Considering that practically every man pops the question one or more times, and some oftcner, it. is strange that they do not develop a technique 1n the itiattei: that would satisfy women's romantic cravings and give them Something to boast of to their grandchildren. But they don't. They seem .'~ to think that anything goes with women that has a wedding ring attach- ed to it, and they don't put half as much feeling and imagination in ask- ing a woman to mtti-iy them as they do in ordering a filet mignon or their favorite cocktail.

Men can never understand why women go crazy over the Valeniinos and Clark Gables and Robert Taylors, and why they jam theatres and movie panacea to .~.cc saccharin love plays. But. the answer is that women have to go to tho theatre to see proposals made the way they should be made.

However, it is one thing to criticize the way some one 0180 (i095 B thing and it is Sfihllfllillilg‘ c.sc yet again to give a. star performance in per- forming it your ‘i. This makes of interest the offer that, Actor Jnnlfifi Dunn has mad..- o. a pflLt; ior the best proposal from a, woman. so tar rive thousand ladies, married and single. have entered the contest and we await with bated breath for their theory of how it should be done.

After having so bitterly excoriated men for bungling the slttiation will tthcv handle it with more skill? Will they have more intuition about. Belem; the psychological place and hour than men have? Will they halve a better uppiuach and pave the way with flattery instead of idling 1 g girl that, of course, she isnt good-looking. but she Seems Sirens Eh healthy and that is what he is looking for in a. wife, as a man I once knew did a» a preliminary to asking a woman to marry him? W111 they q\1°le_ poetry, or mention their income’ W111 they P1011059 by ifPi-Wl‘ 31111 Th“ ntukc a. man fccl um he is a mail-omei- husband? Or will they rvflhle u,» value or pruxiniity and a kiss hot off the griddle? will they belong toithe going-into-a-clutch school of proposal oi- the frigid one

' Who knows? Anyway, it will ‘be interesting to see what women con- sider a perfect DT0P°53J~ And one thing is certain—however they do it they can't do it worse than men do. DORCYTHY DIX-

The politician stood on his soap box. A group of hoboes gathered around him to listen.

“Gentlemen? shouted the poli- tician, “I begin by telling you this: If I am elected, I promise you that every iuicniployed man in this audience Will be working within a month!’

One hobo waved a. grimy fist. "Be careful what you say there, mister." he snarled. “You can't; threaten us.’
