WHAT IS A HUSBAND WORTH?

Too Many Think That a Brain U a XcM-csity for a Man and a I,uury for a Woman." Says Xlxola CJreclcv-Smlth

nv mxola ;isi:i:li:y-smitii. Some women consider tliat the main luty of a husoand H to sivc his wife rom thinking, unif men tucotirue his idea.. Jt is this type which has til people t believe that marriage or woman means arrested development of the brain. We have been ofered, as the explanation of the fact hat school jiils are more, intelligent wnd quicker than hoys of the same ige, th' statement that woman's mind natures earlier than man's, but that it eases to s;row after marriage ami paternity in other words, tliat men fter thirty expand intellectually, but hat women stand still. 'Hence a lot of nonsense about the raedy of the man a ho has out:rown his wife. The main difference etween the intellectual development f men and women is due to the fact hat a brain is a necessity to man, ut is still a luxury to woman 1Man uets his living by his brain t brawn. lint the majority of wornn are still females by profession ntellects only by courtesy or luxury, i man requires a brain in order to ive. A woman doesn't ! The nost stupid supersition of the hnnan rare is that the'e is a tuiula:tential inequality between the brain ower of men and women. No one ho knows the laws of h redity can Ossibly aeiept this view! Suppose that, iti the beinnim,'. our nther Adam was a brilliant intellect, our mother live a fool. Then ulam's daughters would have inerited his brain power, while l've's uolivhuej-s must have been transnitted to her sons. For the daughter is the intellectual icir of the father, the son the legatee f his mother's brain. Thus (lod sustains his perpetual lam e between the sexes. Thus :ature lauuhs at man's supposed moopoly of creative intellect. Man thinks he ha-- created a houcht-trust. That is why we femnists insist upon an anti-trust bill, gainst the monopolists of intelh-ct. be Morgans and Kockefellers of the lind. That is why we believe that a husai)d. to be worth anythin.ur. must tinuilate his wife's brain. He must ot do her thinkinu. He must insist hat she think for herself. If a man is more brilliant than hia 'if;, then he must set the intellect-i.it ace for her. He must insist that she 'ollow. He must realize that his fife's brain is merely lazy and thai : naturally mut be. since her busiesin lile is to induce him to work

for her. and that she does not need her intellect to do that. A husband is worth while intellectu.Llly in the exux-t proportion that his wife does her own thinking. It is as stupid for a man to tell his wife that she should discharge thn cook or cease from calling n her next-door neighbor as it is for a woman to advise her husband that, in his place, she would tell the boss "exactly what she thinks of him." But comparatively few women do that. If there is anything on earth that the average woman holds in abject awe it is her husband's job! She reverences it; she fairly worships it; it has for her mystery and fatality. -Man. on the contrary, by that arbitrary and supreme endowment of wisdom which he believes he has inherited, feels himself competent to advise woman upon every tiling. Jt has always been a wonder to me that he hasn't undertaken to nurse the baby just to show her how! SVort of that, he does thrust himself into his household as the supreme court of wisdom even in such essentially womanly matters as a change of butcher or an overcharge on the grocer's bill. "You don't treat your cook properly. You are far too familiar with her," a man remarked to me not long ago. "I suppose not," I replied meekly. "I couldn't keep her live minutes if 1 did treat her properly!" Kvery woman hears some such comment from the masculine members of her household. For man still believes that the Salic law which forbade woman to inherit applies to the intellect. He does not understand that the only possible answer to the question. "What is a husband worth mentally?" is this: A husband is wcrth much or little as he stimulates or stultifies his wife's lira in. When women stop thinking after marriage it is only because they haven't room to think. With certain sorts of men a brain becomes as superfluous as a vermiform appendix! Like the appendix, e views it merelv

as a source of future trouble and in-

iiamrnauon. o some women remove

it altogether. I don't blame them!

Quality! Not Premiums

THE cost of the choice blend Turkish and domestic tobaccos in these cigarettes forbids the giving of premiums or coupons.

what nixnr iirsiiAxns ark WOHTII. The price of a Hindu bridegroom, who has graduated may go up to 10,000 rupees (about fioO); ll.OOO' rupees is a, quite usual demand, and even a matriculate can command 550 rupees. The enhancement of rates is due to the law of supply and dermvnd. Girls of India must ordinarily be married before puberty, while the increasing1 requirements: of education have led to the postponement of the marriage of boys. There is thus a diminishing supply of husbands, whereas the demand Is unchanged.

Sense and Sentiment

"m;tti:ii iioboks' "IT IS AiiOL'T TIME." said LouisVictor Kytinge, in a paper prepared by him and read at the recent Toronto convention of the Associated Aid Clubs, "that business men were awakened to the danger that threatens a most modern method of merchandising because of the ragged hordes of letter hoboes that are beating their way through the malls." Letter hoboes! Some words those. We have all seen the wandering Willie and the simpering Sam, soiled, ragged, shambling, bloated, out at the toes, down at the heels, frayed edges, patches, etc. No better phrase was ever coined than "letter hoboes." Kytinge's statement abounds in truths naked ones. He has sounded a note of warning that every sane and sound business man who is sending multigraph or process letters through the mails, should heed. The waste is enormous. Most of the printed letters as they are gotten out today, with possibly one or two exceptions, never get further than the janitor's basket. "Letter lu hoes" In the name of elliciency may their tribe decrease. Worry, Not Work, Kill-.
