Love’s Awakening By Adele Lillian, With a Heart-Pang, Realizes | _That “Her Marion” Has Reach- / ed the “Courting” Age. As Lillian put the question to Marion about the rules ot her school concerning parties, I think she real- ized the oddity of her not knowing the regulations herself. She had been so particular in familiarizing herself with every other regulation of the school which she had selected with so much care, that her omis- sion of this one came to her as a shock. “I've mever had to think of this before,” she explained apolgetically | to the rest of us before Marion had an opportunity to answer. *Marion d I have been such social hermits ve mever had to settle the | She | parties before. stion of lunces of course: She hesitated, and Ronald enthu- siastically filled in the hiatus. “I'll say she does!” he exclaimed | with an admiring glance at Marion.

She was realizing that last year Marion's whole thought was to have an extra week- end with her, but that now the child’s dearest wish was to go to the basketball game and dance with Ronald Brixton whom she had known less than twenty-four hours. She kept that realization from everyone else, however, and ex- plained her hesitation plausibly with a smile at Marion, “I was trying to think if I had | planned anything special for you | this winter,’ she said, “but I'm sure | T haven't, and that you may go if Mrs. Barnes makes no objection. Have any of the other girls gone to | college games or dances?” | “Oh, yes!” Marion answered. “Sev- eral of 'em went last year—seniors they all were, though. And then, | twice during the year, two of the | teachers chaperoned a busload of girls over to Trexer—a boy’s prep school fiffeen miles away—to their senior and junior dances. Some of the girls were especially invited, and some were approved by Mrs. Barnes [to fill in for the hoys who hadn't | invited especial girls.” *“Oh! yes,' 'Carolyn put in, nodding | her elfish head sagely, ‘blind dates.

Qur Way of Living, EDITOR'S NOTE: A European would let his lady “trip head over heels downstairs” before he would kneel to do up her shoe in public, writes Beverley Nichols, yeuthful English satirist who now is-editor of The American Sketch, in the ar- ticle below, He finds women domin- ating American life. But—“Why NOT Tie a Lady's Shoe ?” asks Charles Hanson Towne,. noted American editor and writer, in another article appearing tomor- row which praises the “sweet bond- age” in which our men are held. By BEVERLEY NICHOLS Written for NEA Service We were sitting in the lounge of a restaurant, waiting for two women who were late. My friend had just .asked me, in a casual way, what was the most amazing sight I had ever seen in the world. I closed my eyes and thought of all sorts of things— Niagara Falls, a water spout in the South Seas, a fighting kangaroo in the Australian bush, Aimee Semple McPherson careening across her Los Angeles stage. Which was the most extraordinary ? It was impossible to say. I opencd my eyes again. And then T said, ‘T've got it.” For on the | other side of the hall was a sight far more amazing than any of these things: A man was kneeling down, doing up a woman's shoe. Two Interpretations To me, that sight beat them all. My friend told me it was just polite- ness. To me it was a revelation of sex relationships. A European would as soon do up a woman's shos In public as sit on | the top of her head. He might do it up (or take it off) in private. | That {s another matter.

But always in the | American home it's a question of “I |leave those things to the wife." The inferiority complex is so deep- Iy rooted that a man mever even asks himselt why he is allowing somebody else to live the better part of his life—the leisure hours.
