Oe ere are no more ‘clinging vines,” Triumphantly proclaims an ex-militant Suffragist, “You cannot find one anywhere to-day.” No more you can— For there isn't a thing—a masculine thing—that stops side-stepping long enough for the poor dear vines to CLING! The only vine that ever clung to empty space Was the bean vine up which young Jack climbed. I should just like to see the ten- tacled female Who could stage a clinging act with the elusive, slippery, buck-passing, decision-dodging man of to-day! Did you ever try “clinging” to a bulkhead slithery with wet sea- weed? Or to a greased telegraph pole? Or to a well-soaped baby? Or to a greased pig? It is far easier to adhere temporarily to any of these evasive objects Than to attach yourself to the mod- ern male. Refore he marries He is the pea in the shell-and-pea game, Now you see him and now you don't; And if it were not that “the hand Is quicker than the eye,” No young woman would ever locate him—permanently. After marriags it is even worse!

He made all the decisions (And shouldered all the responsibil- ities); His word was law (And he applied the penalties for breaking the law); He ordered what he wanted for din- ner (And paid for it); And his wife had a sweet, happy, peaceful life ‘As a parasite, a lichen, a coral worm, a helpless vine— All those blessed, SUPPORTED forms of existence Who never have to give a command, make a plan, solve a problem, dis charge a servant, punish a child, dismiss a solicitor in @ drive,” write a check, scold the grocer, order the coal, order the meals, de cide where to spend the summer, Who never are BLAM for the things that go wrong, While the things that go RIGHT are taken as a matter of course!
