MOrmOndOm and she AIOrmOns, from
n New York (St- Nicholas HoIel)
Standpoint.
The New York World gives us the
details OF an interview between certain
inquisittve New York ladies and Mrs
Brigham Young, Jr., while the latter
was staying at the st. Nicholas Hotel,
few days since. Though the whole
thing looks like fancy sketch, the fol-
lowing extract is sufficiently interest
ing to quote:
commenced by Mrs. Young saying
that when she received the cards she
tried to recall Miss X, Miss Y and Miss
H., but they remained stubbornly un-
known, and she wondered who among
her young lady friends of long ago had
concealed their identity beneath the
pseudonyms OF Mrs. d. and Mrs. L.,
but then, she added, it is often as pleas
ant to make new friends as to meet old
ones.
One of theiladies remarked that she
supposed in her part of the country
lady's maiden name was never lost
sight of in marriage. To which Mrs.
Young replied, never-if it was we
would have to resort to numerals to
make conversation possible. She
looked about thirty years old, but pos
sIbly was not over twenty hYe-her life
as pioneer, as fugitive, as wife,
and the mother of seven children CIV
ing her an experience which might
have made her look fifty years old, but
which succeeded, owing to her natural
buoyancy of heart, in making her look
only thirty. She was dressed in
striped gray and white linen travelling
suit, and looked fresh and cool as dew
drop, which was a revelation in itself,
for the day was the sultrieSt of the sea-
son, and IL almost made one faint TO
look at the hot, hXy, over-dressed wo-
men. Her figure was 1.-the and elegant
looking; her face very strong in repose,
and very mobile i'll conversation; her
manner union of timidity and equi-
poise that was very pleasing. Alto
gpther, she looked lady-like and moth
erly, and pre-eminently wifely.
Now, this wife question being the one
we are particularly interested in, in fact
the one object of our visit, we made the
best of our opportunity of putting
questions NOW, Mrs. Young, did you
ever see a wife really, truly, unmis-
takaebly happy who had to share her
husbands affection with another wO-
man or women" we asked in tone
of great eagerness. She playfully said
something about real, true, uualloyed,
unmitigated happiness being a rare and
unexceptional thing.
She asked, care all the married gen.
tlemen of your acquaintance blind TO
all the beauty lying about them, or are
they proof against 1t, and do they all
fGyhEs
course, we admitted the little polygaml@
tendencies of gentlemen in society
how could we do otherwise, when IL is
so well known? She asked, ''Do itheir
wives know it?" "Yes, sometimes it
comes to light! often they suspect when
il is never proven; but then what they
don't know don't hurt them." "Do you
think that I've think that everything
that hurts the husband hurts a true
wife, and none of you will surely main
tain that 1t does not iniure man
morally to be guilty of deceit-ot
systematic and sustained falsehood.
We think that it would affect even his
children's children, and his turthest
neighbOrs, for not only has every act
Its Tays of influence, but his moral at
titude is affecting others for good or
evil-whether he sleeps or whether he
ploughs: Now, inasmuch as man is
not exclusive in his taStes-and II
is for wise reasons that he is motive
must not try to make him conform to
our idea of his needs or his destiny at
the risk of making him so weak as to
give in to US, or so mean as to deceive
u.s." "But man mustn't make us con-
form to his ideas of our needs and
our destiny" said the pretty little miss
whom we referred to before. "Man
does not do it, my dear" replied Mrs.
Young. "Woman's sphere is destined
by nature. The civilizations of the
world are unanimous on that point, no
matter on what else they may differ
her sphere is power; her destiny to re-
plenish the earth. This, il the women
would only realize it, is n high and no.
ble destiny. 1t is the one ambition of
the Mormon wife to be II mother in
Israel. Our children are all pledges of
love to our husbands, and jewels in our
crown OF honor as wives"
"But are not the wives of one man
often jealous of each other?" asks the
irrepressible young Miss. "Some-
times; but it is not a feature of our do
mestic nfe," Madame replies. 1.-The
wives of each household are as sisters
sisters in family and in faith. They
sometimes indulge in little playful re
valries asst who will get the first kiss,
or who can pull him or coax him away
from the others; but as a rule they al
ways give precedence to the first wife.
