but when he resumed work a little
later the unfortunate bridegroom

serious alarm Sir Luke asked him
what was the matter ITS nawthing

extraordinary reason he had imagined
that it was necessary for him to refrain

- WOMAN A MARTYR!

Life TO most women, says Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps, is a martyrdom.
She specifies.
No person, she says, who has ever
heard the condolences of the sex can re-
call without emotion the confessions of
these women tied 10 traditions they
dare not question. broken on the
wheels of drudgery whose iron revolu-
tons crush individual gifts out of the
soul and personal powers out Of life"
She says there will be no happier citi-
zen in the heavenly country than these
prisoners of sex"
Well
There is no denying the fact that the
average woman's life is largely given
to ceaseless drudgery and monotony.
The doing of the same thing. mostly in
the same way, day in and day out, and
getting nowhere comes to be an actual
tragedy.
You see
The rooms once swept clean must be
swept again. The dishes that are
washed after breakfast will be dirty
after dinner. Things will not stay
clean. And the victuals that are cooked
for one meal will not suffice for the
next. If only the stuff could be piled
up for installment consumption.
But
Come TO think of it. the life of most
men is also largely made up of drudg-
cry. They are perhaps not so much
tied up 10 traditions. but they are
bound TO n system that kills, machine
that brushes. Few of them but are
broken more or less by this mental or
physical routine.
Indeed, il is the remark of foreign
better OFF than any other women in the
world and that American meu are the
hardest worked men in the world.
The difference is here:
Women are more idealiStic than men.
Drudgery tells on them. The daily
round frets their more delicate nature.
There is more poetry in their souls.
1t is difficult for women TO get over
the idea that life ought to be all sweet
ness and unaloyed happiness. And
there is so little poetry in peeling pota-
toes.
Woman needs some outside interest
land there is where the much abused
woman's club comes in 10 save her
from the nervous tension OF doing one
thing all the time.

So does the man who lives 4 life Of

That discovery quickly changed his
