ABOUT TYRANT MAN
ONE REBELS AT CRITICISM MADE
BY cLUsWoMAN.
Husband and Wife's Argument on
Sacrifice Finally Ends in Stand
off-Mrs. Gillipen Respon-
sble for the Controversy.

II suppose that tyrant men got his
good and plenty?" ventured the club
woman's husband, as his spouse drew
off her long gloves and removed her
hat.
Il wish you wouldn't talk slang,
my dear" said his wife. You know
perfectly well that it always offends
me, yet you persist in doing it. Mrs.
Gillipen made a very eloquent ad-
dress. I presume that is what you
are asking about. You always sneer
at everything she says, 1 know"
Il beg your pardon, my dear.
wouldn't sneer at her for worlds. But
she does-may l say hammer us?
Well, she hits us rather hard, doesn't
she?"
Don't you think she is justified
in hitting you?"
"Why?"
do you think we ought to submit
meekly to be trampled on and never
strike blow in our own defense? Do
you think woman ought TO be salts
fed to be slave and puppet and
not make the slightest effort to burst
the trammels that your sex has been
winding about her from the beginning
of time?"
did she say that?"
you know it's true, whoever said
1t. A woman's life is one perpetual
sacrifice to the wishes or caprices of
the man she marries"
That's not so bad" said the man.
rs your life a sacrifice to me?"
You know I wouldn't like to hurt
your feelings, my dear"
well, is it?"
Il think every woman's is"
How about mans life being
perpetual sacrifice to the whims and
wishes of the woman he marries?"
rs yours?"
Every mans Is"
81 like that" said the clubwoman.
"Will you tell me single instance
of your sacrifice?"
We'll, look at me now, sitting here
with my feet on the rug"
Il think by the look of them that
you might have wiped them a little
more carefully when you came in"
Il did wipe them," said the man.
Il don't see what is the use of brooms
and carpet sweepers if little dirt
isn't going to be brought into the
house once in while. But the point
was trying to make is that several
times since l have been sitting here /
have felt strong inclination to put
my feet on the table,"
'Jamesi"
"Oh, l know, I know ysu object to
it. That's the only reason I'm not
putting them where they would feel
comfortable. l sacrifice my comfort
to your wishes. l consider your preju-
dices'
You call that prejudice, do your"
81 don't know what else you would
call it. After while, if we go to that
fool concert, I suppose l shall have
to put on dress suit and collar that
chokes me. 1 can't do anything that
really want to do half the time.
Isn't all that sacrifice?'
"You didn't seem to object to wear
ing dress suit or going to concerts
with me before we were married."
said his wife. "And I am sure l never
saw you put your feet on the table.
If 1 had I'm quite sure never would
have married you"
II know" said the man. That's
why 1 sacrificed myself to your
whims."
you weren't obliged to. If it was
such a sacrifice you needn't have mar
ried me-"
WELL" said the man, 81 guess you
weren't dubbed and dragged to the
altar and neither was Mrs. Gillipen,
If 1 know her husband. I guess If you
come right down to it, it's about a
stand-off. Chicago Daily News.
