Mrs. Bunker could give points to

general plea of the weakness and fg-

MI breaches and practices the
theory of the inferiority of
woman to man. She has worked it
to her advantage ever since she
was asgirl, and men have never found
her out.
Hers is the sweetly feminine, helpless
role. When she would do some act
not altogether noble or unselfsh, then
mans tyranny is her excuse, and she
the victim. She has all to herself a
pony carriage, which she values high
ly. Her sister Jane is widow with
five children, and once she wanted to
borrow Mrs. Bunker's carriage to take
the two younger ones for an airing.
Jane, 1 can't do it, said Mrs. B.
"Gussie wouldn't let me. Gussie
would be awfully mad if he found it
out" (Gussie is a harmless, kind
hearted individual who would scarce
ly say "Bool" If his wife gave away
the carriage outright.)
When anything disagreeable or irk-
some stands before her to be accom-
plished, then little Mrs. Bunker takes
refuge in mans superior knowledge,
experience and power. When the
grocer's bill comes in, a long list,
ftemized. she does not go over 1t her
self, although she can in five min
utes calculate to the fraction of a
cent how much her neighbours new
gown cost She lays the list down till

~ GENERATION ago a lady dis
"a tinguished as an advocate of
woman's right to earn money
in any trade or profession she
- - chose was conversing with a
rich merchant, who talked to
her proudly of his sons. He was fitting
this boy for one profession. that for an
other, and sparing no pains or expense
to give them an advantageous start.
The lady said:
What about your daughters? What
are you fitting them for in case you or
they should lose the money you have
laid up?"
Oh said the rich man. 1T have pre-
pared my daughters to earn their own
living too. / have had them taught to
make wax and paper flowers"
This was absolutely all the man
thought his girls needed, and the lady
could not convince him to the contrary.
To this day it seems impossible for
the average man to consider seriously
women in a trade or profession. One
rich man there was in truth, wise and
farseeing beyond his sex. who under
stood as far back as 1875 that sewing,
teaching and housework could no lon
ger support the great. ever increasing
army of women compelled to maintain
themselves. Perhaps if his own sons
had lived even this good man might
have been so rapt in contemplation of
their future that he would not have CIV
en- a thought to poor women wage
earners. But his sons died before him,
and only two daughters were left heirs
to his great wealth. 1t may be then
that he wondered what would be the
fate of those girls if they were obliged
to work for living, and that set him to
thinking of other mems daughters
whose fathers had no wealth to leave
them.
At any rate this good and wise man,
