Well, this is one more eye than girls keep open in the presence of men in this country. At least before marriage. For how else can you account for the many misfit marriages and the hordes of dis- gruntled wives. Total blindness is the only possible explanation, for the men, before and after taking, are just the same. They look just the same. They act the same way, They car he same line of conversation. They have the same peculiarities and habits, and the only way a girl can possibly keep from seeing them is to keep her eyes shut tight.

After all, one does not marry a perfect stranger. How, then, is it possible for a woman to “keep company.” as the phrasc goes. with a man for montks, sometimes for ycars, without finding out whether he is slouchy in his dress; whether he has repulsive table manners—and many wives complain of these things: whether he is an intelligent and interesting companion; whether he is seifish and high-tempered and jealous; whether he is interested in the things she is interested in and has the same views on politics and pie? Surely if in the days of courtship she kept only cne eye open, like the savage Janes, she could see wWhether the cut of his jib and the set of his collar were to her liking. She could have perceived how strong was the lock on his pocketbook and how long it took to get it open. She could have got a fairly accurate line on his disposition and discovered whether his society in large doses would b: a stimulating experience or an ordeal that would sink her in depression.

Between D and E IF, before marriage women could keep both eyss wide open and be on the lookout for faults and defects in the men they are considering spending the next 30 or 40 years with, after marriage they should shut their eyes and be as blind as bats to all of their husband's frailties. 1339 F STREET, N.7.
