], WHY WOMEN CAN Nor ENTER Masonic
IIoDGEs.-Frequent complaints are made by
ladies in relation to Masonry, and their princi-
pal arguments are that their husbands have
no business to do any thing that they cannot
: tell their wives-that that which is secret must
be wrong-that it Is only mean excuse, and
so on. One branch of the subject seems, how
ever, to be capable of legendary explanation,
and the Norfolk Journal publishes thereon
the following paragraph
- When King Solomon was still young man
he had married his seventh wife. She was a
beautiful young Ammonitess, with locks as
black as the ravens wing and eyes as bright
as the eagles. 1t was believed that she was
the favored fair one among all the sultanas of
the Greek King, for his affections were not
divided then As they atterwarC 5 became. She
knew his power, and used it unsparingly, in
Saddition to her other qualities, she was as in
quisitiye as ever was aw0man on this earth.
II One evening King Solomon attended lodge
on some grand OCCASION and staid out some
what late. When he returned home, he found
the fair Ammonitess in the dumps, and pout-
Ing just like the dear wives of Masons do
sometimes now when their lords stay out too
late at the lodge. She upbraded him with
%neglccting her, insinuated that he hadn't been
TO the lodge as he pretended. and insisted that
i'm future he should give proof that he went
there by having herself initiated SO that she
might 60 there and watch him.
Daughter of Ammon,' replied the King
thou hast behaved thyself as one of the fool
ish women, In presuming to question thy lord
and master Thou art not so angry with me
as thou pretendest to be; for the true reason
Of this behavior is thy Unsuitable curiosity. in
which thou eXcellest Eve herself. Know,
then, that here ordain that neither thou nor
ANY of thy inquisitive sex after thee, e,er en-
enJoin the Tyler to pierce through with his
sword any woman that shall attempt to enter

Wisest of mobarclis has continued in force till
