The reason is that the majority of men-and "cave-men" especial I have a habit of beating a hasty retreat whenever women dis- play too obtrusively any sign of intellectuality.
The truth is that they suspect her of baiting a trap to manage them, whereas if they only knew it, the clinging-vine type of woman is far more likely to turn the tables on them, and to rule them with a rod of iron.

A reason for the continued papu- larity of the cave-m.. husband is that women have not really changed so much as their outward appearance may lead one to sup pose. Most of them enjoy the ides of being conquered quite as much as their Victorian prototypes did.
They consider it a tribute paid to their personal appearance, and

The moulded bodies, with enllar- less Vionnet neckline, has a gathered jabot frill that takci a diagonal slant. The long tight fitting sleeves have insert. ed frills in darts below the elbows. It makes up smartly in any of the season's new fabrics, such as silk crepe in a geometric print, lustrous crepe satin in black, printed cheer velvet, mid-night blue wool crepe, black flat silk crepe of bright red georgette crepe.
