The Rorists' Review

Woman versus 

 Mystery 



We hear many men say woman 

 is a mystery. And we all know 

 a mystery is a truth which we 

 cannot fully understand. Well, 

 perhaps we are, but even at that 

 most real men are very much 

 interested in the Little Myste- 

 ries, and the male earth being 

 who does not like the Mysteries 

 and does not treat them right 

 must certainly find this a lone- 

 some Paradise. 



Well, we cannot just exactly 

 help it ourselves, because we 

 don't always just understand 

 ourselves, and it is not our fault 

 always. For one, I know I am 

 a mystery to myself. I enacted 

 the funniest drama in my life 

 that I ever heard of, just the 

 past month, and now I know I 

 a__m a mystery to myself, at least. 



Everyone in our trade knows 

 I travel a great deal for busi- 

 ness, and I meet hundreds of 

 men and am never embarrassed 

 by anyone, from a beggar to a 

 multimillionaire, because I am 

 not looking for beaux or sweet- 

 hearts, just friends— and real 

 friends they are. I'll put our 

 tradesmen second to none for 

 being fine fellows, real men; but 

 the few who are not are soon 

 forgotten in the rush, not worth 

 worrying about. 



Well, here is where I took a 

 change for the worse. I was 

 motoring past a hotel and saluted 

 a friend and went on, paying no 

 further attention, and— well— 

 the worst is yet to come. * * *
