Is there an acid test which will reveal his qualifica- tions for the role of hus- bend? “Tf so, lead us all to it,” { urged Miss Mary Carolyn Davies, whose first novel “The Husband Test,” has Just appeared on the mar- ket, “If you have really found such a thing as a husband test, all unmar- ried women will rise up and call you blessed. And if you'll patent it, you'll be so rich that you need never write another book.” “But I'm sure there's no such test!” she laughed .g’That’s the thesis of my Wook, you know—that if any woman did test men she wouldn't abide by the results, she'd marry the identical man she picked the wrong man—he always is. Now, from this and other remarks ¢f a somewhat final character on the subject of husbands, please do not visualize Mary Carolyn Davies as an elderly and embittered female. She is an amazingly young person to be the author of a cever novel and two books of verse—“Youth Riding” and “The Drums in Our Street” And she 16 vividly alive in every inch of her slender young body, from the , slim, dancing feet to the blue, danc- ing eyes. She laughs over her passion for parties, her antipathy for Greenwich Village, men who borrow money from girls, the free verse she used to write, the sentiments she expresses in an in- terview, and nearly everything else. She is as refreshing as a cool breeze from the West, out of which she ‘ comes, although now she is living at No. 116 East Sist Street. “Don't women marry the wrong men?” she demanded impetuously, sitting on the edge of her bed, one ‘Ongyright, 1921, by the Prem Publishing Co (The New York Bvening World.) HAT ts the test for a husband? You cam test a diamond by t-ying to make it cut glass; a peari by investigating its coolness with your tongue. The United States Gov- @fnment knows formulae for discovering the contents of benzoate of soda or the amount of coloring matter in your food. Assayers have their own methods for tefing you how much gold per ton of ore you can take frem before the test began. And he'd be more complex and subtle than any man! If a woman could have a hus- band for every mood, she might be happy. Even the wrong husband probably is the right husband part of the time! “However, there is stil] a third and & perfectly proper way of dealing with the problem. If a woman has a real Job of some sort and gets bored with her husband, she can just trot off and play with the job. Even Mrs. Grundy ought not to object to that! Men do that very thing all the time; that's one reason why they enjoy life more than women. A man gets sort of fed up with his wife; he races off down- town and puts over some deal or wins some contracts, then he comes home just as happy and affectionate as he can be.” With the speed and precision of a humming bird—of which she somehow reminds me—-Miss Davies darted to the topic of what constitutes the least undesirable thing in husbands, It be- ing understood that they’re all wrong. “I could never, never marry clever man,” she ins.sted, a By Mau rice Ketten | HAve A PLACE FoR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE MODERN MAID 2° BY MARGUERITE MOOCERS MARSHALL * Copyright, 1921, by tne Press Publishing Go, (The New York Evening World) it's an unkind woman who deprives her quondam adorer of taking the initiative in arranging a “last meeting’ even though she has wondered for months just how soon she possibly could “shake” him, HEN an older man has been sent out to dinner for the first time with one of these “frank” young girls he finds himself wavering between pleasure and apprehension, exactly like a small boy with his first lighted firecracker, ONLY SIX, BUT NOTED FOR HER CHARM AS DANSEUSE.
