From The Chicago Times
Among the wrongs of our sex which
nave been so freely ventilated lately,
both on the platform and in the press,
writes 4 well known Englishwoman,
there is one which ! have never seen
alluded to. and yet ii Is an evil which
has caused more misery to middle-class
women than perhaps all the others
combined mean the dreadful and
cruel monotony of a middle-class mar
ried woman's existence.
There are thousands-aye. tens Of
thOusands-of women who from one
weeks end to another never have any
amusement, excitement or change ex-
cept their Saturday marketing and
Sunday church. Day after day there
is the same dull routine of duty, which
commences with the preparation Of
breakfast in the morning and con-
cluGes with the arrangement of supper,
with interludes OF attention to serv-
ants, children and house cleaning.
The average middle-class husband
goes out every morning Ia business Of
some kind or other. He meets friends
and acquaintance. enjoys the ever
varying Kaleidoscope OF the busy streets
and the smaller or greater excitement
and pleasure To be derived from his
profession cor business He returns
after the laborS OF the day. enjoys his
evening meal, and then INDUCES IN
his loose coat. slippers. armchair
newspaper and pipe.
II his wife should suggest walk or
visit 70 any place OF amusement the
man VIII plead that he i tired. No
doubt he !. but 30 i the woman, and
what difference there Is IN their
tiredne>s. She i tired Of the four
walls OF her little house. OF the silence
and want OF variety. in fact. she =
yearninE for what her husband Is tired
Of
i have been working al day" the
man viii observe.
So has the wife.

found it, and it was on one of those oc-

Rod of wayside reverie, that became
suddenly aware of the loss of my trav-

pierced by the suns bright arrows,

camped perforce on the topmost peak

Il have earned the change which I


call rest"
So has the woman earned the change
which she wants. but she must not
have it. because it does not please her
lord and master.
believe that in the ma jority of cases
this egotisrn on the mans part is
brought about through education. ig-
norance and want of thought. The
intensely selfish manner in which most
bows are educated causes them to think
that the earth and the fruits thereof
are all theirs, with the exception of the
few they allow the women to gather.
The ignorance of the woman's nature,
of her wants and requirements, which,
if they do not learn it as boys, many
men never seem able to grasp or under
stand, and, finally, want OF thought.
which generally means too much
thought-of himself.
If that is the cause, the remedy is
easily brought about. 1t merely re-
quires a little sacrifice on the part OF
the man. which most husbands will Of
fer when they know how much depends
upon it. but should the effect be pro-
duced by want OF heart / fear there Is
nothing for it but for the woman to
bear her burden. as SO many are at this
moment nobly doing. 1t cannot be de-
MED that there are many men. or ami
mails rather, who de grade humanity by
their assumption of the name of man,
who, while denying themselves moth
ing in the shape of amusements and
Inquiries, always argue that "a wom-
ans place is at home" You might just
as well say that a mans place is at the
Office. and that therefore he should new
er be seen elsewhere.
During the last few years woman's
position, both social and legal, has
much improved. but justice will never
be done to our sex until men are made
to understand that their wives work as
hard as they do, and that women re-
quire, have earned and deserve occa-
sional relaxation quite as much as they
do themselves
