He Loved Best— 7 Vaudeville Shows Young Writers ; His Two Grandchildren Streets of New York Story of His Poor Handwriting and How He Compromised by Using a Script Typewriter—'With Poor Success. By George Buchanan Fife Copyright, 1920, by the Pres Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World.) 4 DBAN HOWELLS was an author who lived in the years that ed the milestones of his life, Although the associate and friend of the foremost literary men of another age, who influenced him in athe formative stages of his career, he did not allow his memory to rest with /Vhowe personalities and influences, At the close of his career yesterday he was acutely in touch with life it has been changed by modern inventions and the influx into the United States cf ail races of men as he was in the days when the stage coach was the chief method of transportation and nearly all the people of this country were of American stock. During nis sixty-nine years of literary endeavor, beginning with his service as a reporter at the age of fourteen on an Ohio newspaper, Mr. lowelly progressed intellectually as his country progressed materially. Per- * haps the idea involved here can be more clearly illustrated by quoting a letter he wrote eizht years ago to the public school children of New York on the <ccasion of his seventy-fifth birthday. It shows that he had kept pace with . the changes in the schools since the teachings he imbibed in a little red schoolhouse formed the foundation of his own self-acquired education: [ — = ITT A ed. tus I WM DEAN HOY ELES IT SACK AND LLY HOWELLS.

(The New York Evenivs World) ‘ss WOMAN acts, then thinks. “A man thinks, then act ~ Judge Molntyre, in the Court of General Sessions, recently made this epigrammatic distinction between the component parts of the dear old human race. It is a terse definition of a belief men have cherished fot an- told ages—that they are the mighty, luminous intellects of the world, that they have cornered all the logic, al! the calm decision, all the brains, that women, sweet souls, have the monopoly of impulse, of intuition, This lust, according to a masculine wit, is Like so many other theories, this “a thing a woman gases for a brain.” one in “interesting if true." But 18 it true? As one woman I say “No!” And to prove my point I shall instance what is surely the moet important business in life, aside from birth and death—the business of marriage. AFTER MARRIAGE fi ; ' In Marriage a Man Acts First; Then Thinke—and Repents. Does a woman marry first and think about it afterward? She does—-NOT! Does a man plunge into matrimony “ oelitg very intensely, thinking not at all? He does that very little thing. ‘That is why marriages are made. Getting married is still the one game in which a woman {s most likely to win, in which she holds all the cards in her hand. A man who sits in the game stands to losé his per- sonal freedom, his comfort, his idgals, his future. The, fact (hat men are aliiost inveterate Husbands is trans- cendent proof that they act first and think afterward, just as [tealso is proof that @ woman thinks hard, to the point, g@d-a long way ahead, A woman only SEEMS to marry on impulse—she always knows what sho is doing. Perhaps dkam giving away a sex séoret, but Shakespeare and ghaw—not to mention several others —-have done it before me. From the first provocative glance, the first pressure of the hand which she knows héw to make thrilling, the first calculated indiscretion, the woman who has decided to marry a certain young man is @ creature of coo}, lucid, intelligent planning. She knows when he is on the verge of proposing; she knows how to. put him faying she “let her heart run’ away with her’—she does it for one of two reasons, Either she sees further and troer than those critics; sees that the man of her choice has possibilities ho one else has guessed; or she bal- ances quite calinly against his pres- ent and probable future poverty « certain smiling gayety, a dogitke de. votion, even a dimple-dent in his chin. And she decides—with her mind, net” with her heart—that these things are going to mean more in her fife @ million dollars, But does a man think it marrying before he is led like a to the slaughter—beg pardon, On the contrary, who—except at bidding of the maddest of%impul: would sign away his nights out, bachelor luxuries, at least three-q ters of his income, his romantic { sions about woman, his right to a chance” on success?
