u7V RE men more selfish than wo-
~ men?" is a question reader
has asked me to discuss. II
the testimony given by heart-broken
wives in the divorce courts could be
taken as criterion, there would be
little choice but to reply emphatically,
yes.
Often, as I have sat in court listening
to these distressing narratives, l have
been moved to condemn the entire
masculine contingent, unreservedly, as
selfish and unworthy to the last degree
wholly undeserving the love, devo-
ton and sympathy of woman. But
realize, of course, that such wholesale
condemnation is unjust, that the stories
of woe which speak so eloquently of
masculine brutality mark the excep-
ton and not the rule.
One cannot judge the sterner sex by
those of its representatives whose
wretched partners must fly to the
courts to obtain release from slavery.
There are ell sorts and conditions of
men in this world just as there are all
sorts and conditions of women.
Some men are so intensely selfish
they would inevitably make the life
of any woman, no matter how uncom-
planning, so completely miserable that
she would be compelled to seek release
And there are women of the same
type who exact everything of the men
who marry them, and in return give
little but complaints and nagging.
Mans love for woman, in its very ma
ture, is supposed to be of a more selfish
variety than her love for him. I do not
believe, however that the idea obtains
to-day as it once did.
The species of man that regards
woman as his chattel is rapidly be-
coming extinct. In this age mans
love for woman does not seek the form

an old friend of the family. "Auntie

ship. Wives to-day are accorded great
er personal liberty than they ever were
"a larger existence is possible for them
than ever before.
I believe the average man. in these
modern days, is not more selfish than
the average woman. In my observa-
tion it is the woman quite as often as
the man who causes domestic discord
by a selfish demonstration of affection.
Wives. quite as frequently. as hus-
bands, are exacting in their demands
and unreasonable in their expectations
The selfishness of the average wife
lies in the fact that she wants her hus-
band to be happy according to the pat
tern she prescrbes for him. She resents

RULE OF THE ROAD-Subscriber
City. The law writer's say that it is
the custom in the United States for
persons meeting on the highway to
pass to the right, but when horseman
or light vehicle can pass with safety
on the left of a heavily laden team.
the choice Of way is TO be given to the
latter. The rule Of the road requires
that each party shall exercise due care
and if one vehicle is rOIIowing another
the one behind should pass to the right
if there is room, but may pass
to the left If the same can be accom-
plished with safety. Automobiles have
no rights of the road which are nor
accorded to other vehicles. The Unit
ed States mail has the right OF way
over all roads. and in cities IL is ac-
corded to apparatus of the Fire De-
