DON'T BE A SKIRT HANGER \ A
Whatever else you are, my
son, don't become a skirt hanger.
The world has a large supply
of skirt hangers and quar- j
ters at large cities are crowded
with them. j
What are they? Pestiferous,
nuisances, human burrs that
* /cling to skirts because trousers,'
very rightly, toss them off. j
They are men who, being too \
weak to stand alone, and too |
iff contempitible to receive a helping
hand from their own sex,
cling to the skirts of women.
The able-bodied man whose
wife supports him is a skirt
hanger. She sees the burr at- |
taching itself to her skirt. She >
tries to pry it olf, but it clings
to the hem of her gown as a
barnacle to the hold of a ship,
and at last through sheer pity
or despair or mental laziness,
she allows it to remain in its i
ignoble place and carries it
through life.
The man who borrows money
from women is a skirt hanger
of the worst sort. He borrows
from women because men won't
lend it to him. He is of the
same mind and soul as the beggar
on the street who whines
his way into a woman's pity
while he turns from the cold
eyes of men who look him
through. Perhaps he borrows
irom nis motner, nis sister, nis
aunt. A skirt hanger I knew
borrowed a dime from his little
daughter to buy a drink of
whiskey. Or he may borrow
from women friends, or women
to whom he makes, love.
A skirt hanger not only gets
money from women, but he derives
influence from them, lie |
unblushingly asks them to get
him a job. Or he asks them to
speak to Mr. Brown, who knows
Mr. Smith, who can help him to
something. He asks their influence
and sometimes he gets
it.
The man who asks a woman
to bestow her love upon him,
and to marry him, saying:
"You will make a man of me,"
ought to be shown the door. If
he hasn't enough manstuff in
him to measure large against
the world, no woman can add a
* + cubit to his stature. The man
J whom a woman can "make" is
not worth the etFort. Women
may encourage men, may make
their path of life brighter and
more beautiful, ^ut they can no
^ more make a m. s career than
W* they can polish an agate into a
diamond.
The skirt hanger is a poor
creature who blames a woman
for his misdeeds. Adam was
the first skirt hanger, and he
has had a multitude of descendants.
The skirt hanger is a male
who finds the society of his own
kind too bracing. "I like women
better than men. They
are kinder," whimpers the man
who has been too weak to stand
against the world's butFeting
and who hides behind the nearest
skirt.
The man whose existence is a
1 /-?*-? < * \i?n ill rt/r
JUII^ (UUII^; i ou11ic: iciuaic
relative to die and leave him her
fortune is a brilliant example
of the skirt hanger. The man
who, when he is on trial, fills the
court room with the women and
children of his family, placed
where the eyes of the jury are
sure to fall upon them, is a skirt
hanger at his most glaring
height.
The man who gets his normal
support anu ins opinions lruxn
his wife is merely another variety
of the species.
V The skirt hanger will get
into heaven, if he gets there at
all, through a woman's influence.
Clinging pitiably in death
as in life, he may slip through
the gates and past St. Peter on
her robes. Or so he hopes, for
it is only in the face of death
/ I he sees his own pitiableness.?
Ada Patterson.

The man who has no change
must lead a rather monotonous
life.
