He is’ very generous and very good and most amusing—but somehow he doesn't fit. An affectionate, contemptuous pity for women is dear to men. Nothing upsets a man's equilibrium like the first creeping suspicion that the gray horse is the better mare. In our town there is a certain rich young man whose driv- ing license has been taken away from him after a third accident. A few years ago his open yellow car was a familiar sight, tearing along at 60 an hour, with wife ‘and baby clinging like monkeys to the front seat. Now the wife, a controlled, intelligent person, drives. Mary has never had an accident. But Howard is always nerv- | ous with her, always sharply directing | her, warning her of approaching trucks, | scolding her about changing gears. “Let me alone!” she wails, made really nervous and incompetent by his | steady criticisms. It is the old man- | and-woman situation, not the fact that | she is a bad driver and he a good one, that is to blame. x ox ok % "THE other day, in a gas station, the clerk directed a woman in a small car to back nearer to the gas hose. | Obeying his waving hand, she backed | into a pole. When she started away, a few minutes later, still nervous, still conscious of watching bystanders, she | jerked herself into second gear, the car gave a convulsed leap, and a door | swung open. Having a small child be- | side her on the front seat, she flung herself and her right arm across the | child’s body, to slam the door, and the | wheel, guided only by her left hand, | brought the car dangerously close to | another car. Mudguards locked, horns roared, men were running and shouting in every direction, and five flurried and’ apologetic minutes passed before | the red-faced little lady and the bad | baby who had opened the docr were | safely on their way. Then all the men | laughed. “Women oughtn't to drive!” said the young_ gas clerk sexiously to me, Who have driven for 16 years without bump- | ing a fender, and have enjoyed hun- dreds of picnics, beaches, movies, trips, | parties, conveniences thereby. “If they | ( | YOUNG NORFOLK MATRON | | | MRS.
