Man has had his own way with
biblical authority long enough. He
has quoted SAINT Paul to the meek
woman at his side to esp her in sub
jecsion and had read exactly what he
wanted to out of the holy book
and Interpreted it's texts to the
strengthening of the bulwark OF Lie
lord.hip, but the time Of the woman ID
coming. Witness the scene in Bos-
ton home where the hus band objected
TO helping with the disass. The
wife hurled 2nd. Kings, XXI, 13 at
him and he had to get at the dishes
aud wipe them: "As q man wipeth
dish, wiping it, and turning it upside
down." A wife has the hig
authority for making her husband
help her with the dishes and deli
probably authorize further household
requirements OF him.

D'Anuuncio, the Italian novelist, is
enduring the world 9 scOrn and denun-
oistion these days for the com lete
lack of decent feeling displayed in his
last novel, "Fuego," in which, accord
ing to the gossip OF Europe, the stage
and newspapers, he has told the story
of Eleanor Dose, the actress. Is ia said
st d'Annuacio and Duse were enga-
ged to be m srried, that she poured out
her whole soul in confession to him az
woman will to the man she expects
to marry, and that her story " IS long
and bitter one of sin and wrong, tears
and pitifulness. This story according
to all report he has told as the leading
hero and the famous actress the hero |
inc. He and his book are bitterly de-
by Italy first and then by the
world that hears the story.
