‘ the “Masculine” ad HAT American men will ‘sissies” because women “have got the drop” on them, is the prophecy of Dr.! William J, Hick- son, head of Chi- cago's psychopathic 1 laboratory. “The war,” he 5’ “J explains, “brought rb *£° women to the front. *., It was the women rs who yelled toudest {‘o we for killing. ‘served on committees in uniforms. « They took up smoking and fell into ‘masculine ways psychologically.” «dorms as Prohibition and the church Movements are inspired by women scwho aim to put men under the restric- tions go long endured by women. “e'American pep,” he concludes, “which “was the result of a masculine-dom!- nated country, will soon be a thing _, of the past, With the collapse of the male ascendancy in this country we «an look forward to a nation in de- « ®eneration. The suppression of sex « will ultimately have its harvest in a recadence—a phenomenon already be- ) ginning.” I showed this pessimistic forecast or. A. A. Brill of No. 1 West 70th Street, famous alienist and psychi- atrist, assistant professor of mental diseases at the New York Post-Gradu- {ite Medical School, chief of the Clinic ot Psychiatry at Columbia, English translator of Freud. He smiled cheerfully. “There is a certain amount of truth in some of the things Dr. Hiekson says,” he ac- knowledged, “but, taken as a whole, the prophecy is a joke. “Ail the people who foresee the feminization of society seem to forget that nature created man and women Biologically different, and that while training, environment, laws if you ‘will, soften to some degree that dif- ference, yet it never can be removed. “Man is actively aggressive, woman Ye negatively aggressive.

(That law applies just as truly to the { separate natures and functions of men and women. The aggression of the latter is what I call ‘negative;’ that is, it is exerted to charm, to at- = tract—not to fight. The aggression, characteristically masculine, is posi- tive; it finds expression in strife, in Then Dr. Brill took up, one by one, the points of Dr. Hickson’s argument. “Women,” the New York physician onceded, “were affected by war hys- © teria—but why?

For that matter, I/ have watched women smoke and I am convinced most of them do it simply to imitate others whom they consider fashionable. Most women don’t know how to smoke—they do it so badly. The same impulse of imitation was responsible for the donning of uni- forms by our young giris. “And the spring fashion experts,” I contributed, “say that the reaction {even now has set in, and that we shall be wearing Victorian muslins and blue ribbons before the summer is over.” Dr. Brill smiled wisely. “Not even Suffrage,” he continued anything more than a recognition by all just men that women should have equal rights. Women voters never will dominate the country. “It is true, as Dr. Hickson points out, that™women are especially de- voted to Prohibition and to religious | movements, but the reason for that is twofold. On the one hand, they are more emotional than men, and Ander- son and his speakers tell the women |that drink will bratalize their hus- bands and send their sons tg hell. ‘The | women believe it. Then, too, social conditions are such that they do not have enough children to keep them | as busy as nature intended, and in their restlessness they not only be- | lieve the reformers, but they plunge | eagerly into the reform movements.

In @ few years we shall find that even our drunkards have not been given a new set of brains by Prohibition, “I agree with Dr, Hickson that the suppression of sex in America to-day is a serious evil.

Those joints broke out before the war did and |they've been spreading like rumors ever since, Every city is full of ‘em. They have one arm and no feet, and yet they spring up overnight! Tho lunches appeared so fast you thought it was sleight-of-hand. And it was. The one-arm lunches open faster than the eye can see, Especially where saloons used to be. They took away the workingman’s beer, but they cer- tainly left the workingman’s chair. In the one-arm lunch. THe real classy lunchroom to-day looks like a large-size bath. room.

GEORGIA SMILAX was M calling on Mrs, Jarr, ‘This Is the same Mfs, Smilax whose Pictures you used to see before the days of print paper shortage on the sgclety pages as “the noted club woman whose charming Musical Mondays are such a feature of local social life.” Mrs, Smilax had formerly lived tn the Jarr neighborhood and occasion- ally visited back. She always brought her only child, Master Lionel Smilax, aged ten, who wore curls and could play the piano beautifully, his mother thought. “I was passing by," said Mrs. Smi- lax gushingly, “when Lionel declared | hie little heart would break if he did not see his former little playmates, your ohildtren!” As his little playmates in question, Willie Jarr in particular, had never beheld Master Lionel Smilax without | being seized with a sudden desire to yank his curls and shout “Sissy | girl!” after him, All of you little dears run out into dining voom and play,” sald Mra \Jare. “And Lionel must give us some music before he goes, the little gen- jus!" she added. “[ don't wanta, mamma!” cried Master Lionel, meaning he didn't want to go into the dining room, , | But Willie Jarr took him by the arm and pulled him there, “Now go play with your | friends!” sqjd Mrs. Smilax, frowning jat her of ng. “And now, dear’— this to Mra, Jarr—"tell me all about | Cora Hickett's engagement, for I hear that she really has caught a man at Before Mra, Jarr could reply a shriek arose from the dining room and Master Lionel Smilax came running |in and declared that while Wille Jarr had held Wan by the ears little Emma had pinched him and stepped upon hie toes, “Oh, Tam sure little it was all Lionel’ fwult,” interposed Mrs, Smilax. “F fo sensitive and he isn't used to chil- dren.

The Uttle Smilax boy sat at the piano and began to play a one-fingered waltz, Suddenly he stopped and de- clared with a scream that Willie Jarr had snapped him with a rubber band.

In the days of three-for-anickel doughnuts, when a guy thought he dwelt in mar: ble halls, he was having a dream. To-day when a guy dreams of living in marble halls it isn’t @ dream, {t's a nightmare. A onearm lunch éan easily cause a nightmare like that if, you eat enough of its food. y TWENTY years ago @ onearm it was a novelty, not a nulsance. ” _ They called ‘em dairy lunches then, because everything in ‘em was from the country, even including the eas- tomers. The idea was to read what you wanted from the sign and tell your order to the counter man. He simply translated your order into the language that the guy in the kitchen understood. It's hard to tell which makes the worse noise~ the counter men ordering food or the customers eating it. 6 LEARNING the dairy lunch lan- guage is one tough job. No- body'll probably ever learn it now, since Prof. Garner died. You order food in plain English and they trans- late it into hash language. They not only translate it but they SERVE it that way! It's useless to puzzle over your food. The best thing is to be 3 it and beat it quick. You can’t figu the language they speak any eaaier than you can figure the check they punch, ‘ON entering the fast lunch joint they give you a @pund trip Licket, including a Pullman seat. The seat has only one arm, but it’s got four legs to make things even. Your ticket is good for the ration route, with stop-overs for salt and pepper and ketchup. Some guy# even think it’s a pawn ticket and walk out with @ second-hand coat. However, the management is not responsible for any coat, hat or food that disappears. | The one-arm trust now has the ticket biz worked out on selentific prinel-’ ples. Which requires the customer to pay for the hole in his check like he pays for the same thing in his doughnuts, Nothing goes to waste in @ one-arm lunch so long as there's | hash to be served, TW Fue's THE wir was won by saving food, and the lunchroom guys still | think the War is raging. ‘They've gut | down on everything but the scale of prices, They did everything Hoover | told ‘em to—except when he told ‘em to quit.
