Nerves and Ideals Shattered HE Court of Domestic Relations of the city of Chicago has twice proved too much for its presiding judge. After one year of service, its first judge withdrew temporarily in a state of nervous collapse. That he handed the job which he found unendurable over to a woman proves that human nature is not altered by giving women the right to vote. The second judge who as! to be transferred to another court com- plained not of shattered nerves but of shattered illusions. He naively | admitted that he had pinned his faith on love as lasting from the altar to | the grave, but that his service in the Court of Domestic Relations had made him doubt whether there was such a thing on earth as married happiness. To resign a judgeship to preserve one’s ideals sounds fine. But if he thought matrimony such a dovecote why did he himself remain a bachelor? at he is one proves that he had no taste for the realities of matrimony, hat he asked to be transferred proves that he wasn’t even willing to hear about them. Why, then, should we admire, applaud, or even sympathize? As a matter of fact the usual case in the Court of Domestic Relations | is not concerned with love but the concrete property rights of matrimony. | The leading animus of the suffrage movement is to secure through votes for women the same legal protection for matrimony as a vocation for women that men are rapidly acquiring in industrial pursuits. As one of the first fruits of woman suffrage in Chicago the Court of Domestic Rela- tions has at least proved the point, unless, perchance, it was the woes of the husbands and not the wives that proved the undoing of the presiding judges. Man versus Woman and Fashion ET THE MAN who sniffs at woman as the abject slave of fashion, a creature who counts her health as nothing comparable with being 4 la mode, rub his hand over his presumably bald pate and do a little stock- taking on his own account. Let him saunter in at the first musical comedy and noting the sea of shiny bald surfaces ask himself, why? Medical men are being very frank about it. It is not the deep thought | that is going on inside of the man’s head, so they say, but the stiff airless lid that he clamps on it, that causes his hair to begin deserting him almost before his brain has reached its maximum size. The hat, so the edict comes from a Chicago physician, must go in the discard, and the top of a man’s head must face the weather exactly as his faces it. The only alternative, according to yet another medical author- is a loosely fitting hat fastened under the chin. Now, gentlemen, step forth and either face the wintry blasts hatless or with your mustachios coyly surmounting pretty little bows under your chins. Do this or never,as long as you live, talk with smug masculine complacency about woman as the only lamb offered up to the god of fashion. * | Woman has sacrificed much jas, that we must admit but nothing at all com- parable to the hair of her head eptune’s Daughters The mermaid-brides wear Pearly beads, But mermaid-widows Wear sea-weeds! Tit-Bits Only the well insured should play with fire. The surest way of holding aman is letting him go. Love is the greatest secret in the world and yet no one can keep it. No man is as black as he is painted, and no woman as white. “Well, I guess it's about time for me to come out of this shell!” son fa iecn ens! | 225 Fifth Avenue New York City comicbooks.com
