VACATION
BACHELORS
HIDING OUT
By CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP Newsfeatures Writer
Vacation time, the great annual
I open season on the eligible male, is
j upon us.
As most of the nation’s married
j couples are battling to a decision
j between mother’s choice of a resort
[ hotel and father's pitch for a cabin
near a trout stream, the nation’s
spinsters are preparing for the big
hunt. •
Husband-hunting, of course, is a
year-round avocation. But that
precious two-or three-weeks with
pay gives a girl a short period in
which to really concentrate on the
project.
Much has been written and
poken on the arts and techniques
to be used in hooking, playing and
landing the Big Catch. The prob
lem, as I see it, is not so much how
.o fish as where.
After all, the best equipment in
the world isn’t going to be of much -
use if there aren’t any lions in the
forest or tuna in the deep.
Cruise Trip
Once upon a time someone -may
be it was someone connected with
the travel business — successfully
promulgated the story that eager
husband-hunters would be practic
ally certain to find some fair game
aboard cruise ships. The longer the
cruise the better the odds. Maybe
it was true once, but the shi.jp n
lanes, appar.n ly, have be n over
fished. An unsophisticated unmar
ried. young man of my acquaintance
recently inves ed some saving.; in a
three week cruise with the sole idea
of getting some much-needed rest
and a change. He returned home a
| haggard wreck, occasioned, he con
| fessed, by the cruise-ship-passengers,
Dcdges rcmales
They were 99 per cent unattached
females, he said with horror in his
eyes at the memory, and he spent
almost all of his shipboard time
hiding from them.
"They hunted in packs, he said.
"The only time I felt safe was be
hind the locked doer of my state
i room.”
I know several young women who.
independently, decided to invest ir.
fancy wardrobes and expensive ho
tel accommodations at fashionable
resorts in the mountains or at the
seashore in the hope of setting some
effective marital traps. To a woman
! they have returned to their jobs,
nut-browned, extremely well rested
i and completely disconsolate.
Life Guards Wary
“A complete waste of time and
money,” one of them told me.
"There wasn’t a single attractive
eligible man around except the life
j guards and they were sitting on high
j chairs. Girls flocked around the
| chairs as though it were a bargain
i counter and the guys were afraid
to come down even to save someone
from drowning.

brought romantic results. I know
one lass who spent considerable
funds buying attractive ski and—
particularly—aftcr-ski costumes and
set off for the ski-tow country.
"Horrible,” she reported. "There
were men, all right, gorgeous ones.
But they spent the daylight hours
skiing, then they ate their dinners
in a tight little group and retired to
gather strength to try to break their
necks the following day. I’ll never
try that again. All I got out of it
was a sprained ankle.”
Where Do They Go?
The question arises. Where do
eligible bachelors go on their vaca
tions? Are secret male sanctuaries
set up to which they fly to safety
from women? It may well be one
of the great natural mysteries of
our time, like the nesting grounds
of the whooping crane.
I can but give one piece of ad
vice to the Dianas of the husband
chase: Pick your vacation ground
somewhere close to a military in
stallation. We know that a number
if eligible young men are concen
rated in these areas. I understand,
however, that space is scarce in
these places and the quarry is pret
ty busy at mandatory chores. It’s a
real chancy business.
