WOMEN AND PARCELS
The delivery manager of a large New York department store w&nts to know why women will never take home their parcels in iheir automobiles. No matter how small the parcel or how capacious the automobile, the request for " special" delivery is almost invariable. Now it is not exactly our business (writes Life) to instruct New York delivery managers in the ramifications of the feminine mind. But we have made some study of this matter, being married, and we are always willing to oblige. The explanation is a simple one. Women love to be served. The cream of their existence is bo give orders and to have, them carried out by abject and subservient mentals. They are born slaveowners, and the hunger foe the service of social inferiors shows itself in a I hundred ways. » That is why a woman never does for herself what somebody else may be coaxed or compelPed to do for her.
