THE GRABBING SEX

Every now and then some cljsillusione»d woman comes forward and ■ publicly shatters the ideals that, most men and a lew other women, aro tryiig to build up about her sex. A celebrated Viennese actress, for instance, has just denounced emancipation for women, on fairly familiar lines of argument; men (she says) don’t really like independent women, they lik< the helpless sort; they love helping the helpless. “Grab and the men will adore you.” Is it really as bad as that? Wo imagined that hard wooidien youth, pa.sably cynical, had “rouded Cape Ttnk’’ as Meredith’s intolerable Diana use? to put it; we thought they were on .he whole too selfish to devota tlicJGselves to clamorous dolls, appealing round-eyed for “romance” in the fonr of pearls and new hats. Vienna must be behind the times. Wo warn our women against this warning. Anyhow don’t lot them marry with the intention of remaining helpless. A few mon may still like flirting with fools, hut how oven those grow to hate a fool after they’ve lived, a year or two with her!
