i ammanaaaal Are Women’s Tears Losing Their Power? Don’t Cry—Smash Something, New Feminine Method, Says George Agnew Chamberlain GEORGE A Creo — Weeping, Like Fainting, Fast Becoming Obsolete. By Marguerite Dean. F you are a woinan, can you cry clever tears? If you are a man, do you fall for the clever falling tear The newest thing in Niobes, clever tear, has just been analyzed f Chamberlain, diplomatist, observing tale “Cobweb” {s the story of a girl ther”—ag the author summarizes the the woman who is equipped with a ‘or a waiting world by George Agnew bachelor and novelist, whose lates who “cried at a man and he married situation, Inasmuch as the man was perhaps the most eligible youth in New York, for whom mothers, maids and divorcees had vainly laid their snares, the match must be credited as jomething of an achievement for the lachrymose lady. “And beauty leads us by a@ single hair,” declared Pope; but Mr. Chamberlain’s beauty leads by that even more tenuous thing, a single However—don't forget that it was a CLEVER tear! What IS a clever tear —aside from being a tear that does the business? That's just what I wondered. But when the question was put to Jong, lean, good-looking Mr. Chamber- Jain, whe is living just now at No. 17 West 0th Street, he had his answer. “There's all the difference,” he ex- plained, “between the clever tear and the tear that comes from tie suffering heart. Suffering as a usual thing bores the world. How much more thea would It bore the husband or love “The clever tear is never accom- panted by contortion. Have you never een a woman with her eyes wide open and blue as the heavens above with tears running down her cheeks and mever a muscle moving? It isn't con- sciously clever—it's as natural as curly hair. When a woman 4s conscious she’s being clever she's the most stupid thing in the world. “The clever tear is a gift, and when you discover you have {t you've no Yonger got it, for you lose it—it's no longer unconscious.” This !s how in “Cobweb"—publ by Harper & Bros.—Mr. Chamb lain described the shedding of his heroine's clever tear—truly a 100 per cent. tear. She was standing in a hotel elevator, and her pallor, her dallnees, her rose-petal eyelids already had arrested the attention of the hero. "Then—“even as he turned to leave the elevator a single great tear had @queezed over the tender barrier that opposed it, raced slow, then fast down ‘the oval of her cheek and leaped to @estruction. “That tear had been as surprising asa single drop of rain from a clear sky. It had been preceded by not tho @lightest facial convulsion of weep- (ng; it had brought about no change tn the Immobility of expression in the Birl's still face; it had just happened, apparently, without her volition or consent or even knowledge. It was a vogue tear, broken away from the herd, complete in itself and busy with an individual mission.” At this point, I have to confess that my own mental reactio; summed up in one sentence: @ fortune this young woman make in the movies! a could, But the hero's response to the trick s tear was far, far different. “It is difficult,” Mr. Chamberlain assures us, “to measure the strength of the emotions aroused in Bourne by this trifling occurrence. When he stopped short in the hall at the first full realization of what had happened, he was immediately excited and tor- mented by a host of questions, Why had that one tear fallen? “Was it because of the rudeness and persistence of his blank stare? Hardly. He was equally sure that the tear had nothing to do with food, @helter and less elementary divisions of want. Whence, then, that tear? Could it have arisen from the sour’es of unrequited love? Bourne shook his head in de tal. No, the pale girl was wt in ie He was sure of iti nor mid he aceive that the lone tear rose fy. any purely incidental dis- uppointtuent.” “Not as all other women are “Is she that to my soul is dear’—~ ng Lowell, the poet, and, in equally rapturous mood, Mr. Chamberlain's hero concludes that ‘the tear itself was not as other tears, but rounder, more lucent, and Inexplicably precious in the face of its reckless self-destru:- tion. His whoje mind had been kid- mapped by a runaway drop of saline water.” As we remarked, a CLEVER littie tear—in fact, SOME tear. No won- éer that Mr. Chamberlain warns those of us who are tearless—or TIO teary—as follow “The woman who has lost the gift of the clever tear, or who has never thad it, must make up for it in other ways. The French woman offers the best example of skill in playing up all of the womanly attributes when @he happens to lack the kingpin of beauty. lf she is built, for example, Mike a snake, she doesn't try to hide it by wearing checks, but plays up the note of sinuousity by wearing stripes to the limit, until she become: @ famous type known to the ends of the earth. Conversation a8 a means of playing on the emotions !s an ex~ ample—also emphasized tn France— of one of the most difficult of all the acoomplishments of women who have pecome famous without being beautt- ul.” But why work hard to be witty when it {s so much easier to weep a clever tear? To Mr. Chamberlain's eloquent delineation of it—and of its osstbilities—I would add only e few i ts, The clever tear, I should say, fs singular, since tears in the plural eave ruin behind them; before shed- @ng even one clever tear, the shed~ fier should be sure that her make-up « fs guaranteed rainproof; no tear in the eyes of a wife can ever seem olever—or anything else, except an- noying—in the eyes of her husband. ‘One thing more—gather ye tear- frops while ye may! For despite his belief in its potency, Mr. Chamberlain Jieves that the tear of to-day's roine is as surely doomed as the fainting-fit of the heroine of yester- wear, ‘he tear is the modern fainting fit," he averred, “and the tear will not hold the field Jong. The woman of @o-morrow {6 likely to take every- thing in sight and throw it on the floor by way of expressing passion and inner emotions. ‘The fainting gchoo! is a thing of the past; the tear fe on the wane; the day of smashing precious vases and bibelots is on the threshold—acocompanied by @ orack- tear. ling curse—as a substitute for the sighs and polite interjections of other -days.” Some such vision of the future must have been youchsafed another dis- tinguished novelist, W.

It seems that Mre. Walker had been visiting in Poppleville for several days and on the occasion’ of her re- turn the Mayor had invited some of the neighbors in to welcome her, A pair of pink bedroom slippers figures in the mix-up, but entirely innocently, if the Mayor's word 1s to be taken. When the guests had welcomed Mrs. Walker, the Mayor threw open the door of their bedroom and said: “Look, dear! What do you see?” By the side of the bed were the ippers and on these Mrs, Walker glued her eyes “Why are those slippers here?" she demanded They're a present for you from "replied Mr. Walker, “Is that so?” she sniffed Slowly it dawned on the guests that Mra. Walker was suspicious of the slippers. “Oh, for goodness sakes!" mur- mured Mrs, Cutey O'Brien. The Mayor burriedly began an ex- planation, “I bought them as a sus= prise for you, dear," he sald to his “Is that so” ‘the guests decided to go at this point and quietly slipped out.
