ly playing hockey from church on Sun
day. On that day scores of we'll
dressed women are to be seen enrouts
to the various churches, and about one
in ten is accompanied by her husband
or father. These few are objects Of
IiEterest to every pedestrian. The wo-
men who are alone compare their own
recreant relatives with them and foIm
mental pictures of men at home with
cigars and newspapers. But upon ar
irving at the church door the halos be-
gin to disappear from the heads of the
masculine minority. The men say
goodby to their wives and continue
their onward journey. They go down
to their everyday places of business,
to the postoffice, or lounge upon the
corners and congratulate themselves
on their narrow escape from church.
But why do not the men care to OBJ
serve Sunday by singing hymns and
hearing sermons? They are probably
good citizens, who live according to
high standards, and they believe in the
churches. If the same discourses and
as fine music were to be enjoyed any
evening in the week they would pay
for the privilege of hearing them. 1t
is just the obstinencY of human ma
ture that makes a man feel less tired
from reading his mail with its duns
and demands than from sittiug quietly
In handsome auditorium. The spirit
that caused him as boy to walk miles
in order to slide down hill when it
would have made his legs ache to 90
half block on an errand still has pos
session of him. 1t is hard to do any
thing that is eonspicuously labeled
duty. But providence has ordained an
offset to this masculine independence
in the face of duty. All through life
woman uses her coercive power. In
the childhood of man, in the role of
mother. she persuades by spanking
and other well established punish
ments. In his mature years she has
other methods. They are various, but
they are much to be dreaded. Under
meath the triumphant mien of the men
who walk by the church is a scared
apprehension of what the dinner hour
at home may have IN store for him.
