A PAGE FOR WOMEN Grace And Gratitude Are Essentials
To-day old and young females are going to get a piece of my mind for I am pretty tired of some feminine characteristics which men are supposed to condone or forgive, simply because it is the gentlemanly thing to do!
I'm re-
ferring to selfishness, ungrateful- ness, gold-digging. cattiness and similar hard-hearted traits which some women consider smart.
If women
expect men to be chivalrous und attentive, to treat them with kindness and generos- ity, they must be gracious in manner and grateful for favours bestowed.
These days are hard for all men. Business problems are gen- eral, the war is an eminent chal- lenge, taxes are higher and gloom is like a fog over the whole coun- try. To keep a sane balance men seek pleasure (as do women) and if they invite you to share their pleasure and you accept, you should at least voice your appre- ciation and be a pleasing com- panion by being well groomed, sympathetic, understanding and as gay as possible.
For Young Girls
If you were a man and invited a girl to dine and dance one eve- ning and she accepted, and you called for her and took her to as nice à place as your budget could stand, wouldn't you expect her to look as attractive as possible (to prime your ego!), to act, gracious- ly and to thank you for a pleas. sant evening when you escorted her home? Of course you would! But alas, many girls do not mea- sure up to this accepted standard of good behaviour.

should be nice to them no matter what their behaviour.
Of course, I realise that some men are hopelessly spoiled but if a woman accepts an invitation or favour from even a spoiled man she should be gracious to him. Most men respond like darlings to a little flattery, a little gaiety and pleasing feminine manners for she is infinitely more attrac- tive and desired than the type of women we described above,
