We're equally intelligent. We're almost the same age. We come from equal backgrounds. And yet you make four times my "I asked her what she was Retting at.

By BOB GREENE Chicago Inflation is taking its toll on the women's movement. Remember those glorious days when women first learned that they had consciousnesses, and aeciaea immediately to raise them? We men were told that there were four new rules: 1 No more opening doors for women. 2. No more using the word "Miss." 3. Women are allowed to be the sexual aggressors.

Greene 4. In social situations, women pay tneir own way. Honored Guest and she said she was getting at 'the basic inequality of our And then she said that if we were being paid equally, it would be fine for her to foot her own bills, but since we weren't, she thought it was only fair that, until a better world is formed, I pay for her, starting Immediately. "I asked her what about being an equal, free woman. She said that she was still just as equal and just as free, only I had to start paying when we went out.

"I asked her why she had changed her mind about this. She said because of inflation. I told her she was being hypocritical. She said she was being practical." MY FRIEND IS not alone. I have asked around, and it is becoming an epidemic.

The women of America are engaged in a massive pullback of their stated "need" to pay their own way. Put a little crimp in the economy, and kiss principles goodbye. It has even reached Cosmopolitan, that great crucible of mainstream modern female thinking. An author named Letty Cohen has written an essay for the magazine called, "I'm Tired of Paying My Own Way." Letty Cohen, who seems to be something of a feminist from the tone of the article, nevertheless writes: "I can remember earlier days, before liberation when a self-respecting man always paid both your ways. Then it was dinner for two at Le Perigord Park, with champagne to go with the mousse of pike and a fine Bordeaux accompanying the rack of lamb.

"WHEN THE BILL came, the man paid with a nonchalant flourish and you weren't permitted so much as a peek. All Dr Joseph T.

Hunt Dies Longtime Firefighter In Tractor Accident John Hartmeyer Dies; Packing Firm Chairman John Hartmeyer, 69, Muncie, retired board chairman of the Marhoefer Packing Co. of Muncie, died suddenly Sunday while attending the Indy 500 Charity Horse Show at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Methodist Hospital. Well several years have passed, and three of the rules still apply. WOMEN STILL resent it if you're too quick to open the door for them.

Women still don't like to be called "Miss." Women are still happy being the sexual aggressors. But more and more, in this era of the shrinking dollar, women are giving up the rule that they pay their own way. All of a sudden men are allowed to pay again. Not just allowed. Expected.

Money is tight, and women all over America seem to be deciding, all at once, that one of the rules of liberation was perhaps not too smart after all. One of my friends, who is divorced, was in ectasy a few years ago when, newly single, he went out into the world of dating women again. HE COULDNT believe how inexpensive it had become. He had been raised to pay a woman's way. He had done it all through high school.

He had done it all through college. He had done it all through his marriage. He had grown up learning to do that calculation that a woman will never understand: looking at the right-hand side of a menu and automatically multiplying everything by two. And then had come the divorce, and he was going out with women who not only didn't demand that he pay for them but were quite adamant in insisting that they would be insulted if he did. "I ought to get divorced more often," he said at the time.

"This is wonderful." WELL, I TALKED to him again the other day. "You know," he said. "I should have figured this out. I knew it was too good to last. I was with this woman I've been seeing, and all along she's been paying her own way whenever we went out for a meal or to a movie.

The other night, though, she looks me in the eye and says, 'I have to ask you a personal "I thought we were going to be talking about diseases or something. But I told her to go ahead and ask. And she said, 'How much money do you make a "I told her that I didn't think that was any of her business. She said she had a reason for knowing. So I told her.

"AND SHE SAID, 'Just what I thought. You make four times more a Charles W. Grubb 56, a retired Indianapolis Fire Department lieutenant, died Sunday at his home.

It used to be that even the poorest student was large-hearted enough to want to be the one who paid at the Pancake House, and this penny-ante gallantry was touching.

"Now you're drearily reminded of your separate-but-equal status not only at Le Perigord Park (if you even get in there) but also in Central Park, when, for example, you're paying the Sabrett man for a double ration of wieners and Cokes. It's all your 55 cents and his 55 cents, and where, pray, is the romance in that? "LIBERATION or no, its just not appealing when a man is only willing to court me when the process doesn't cost him a sou Just not appealing. Well, I don't think Letty Cohen has much to worry about. Time is on her side, and I predict that within the year almost all women will be willing to silently let their male partners pay their way again. Especially if the inflationary cycle continues.

And as for my divorced friend, he has decided to get out of the dating game altogether. He is going to get married again. "I miss the cheating," he said. Middletown, Ind. Services for George C.
