Browning 5 Women


love less ideal to the normal, feminine
nan free from unwholesonle
craving for sensational as she is from
a desire to have a ''subject"-than this
phase, which does not merely presup-
pose a blunder against the character
istics and interests of both the man
and the woman. but rather ~presupposes
that at the wants and wishes of the
man the woman shall defacc the fea-
lures given to her personality by her
Creator.
The man who supposes that he mas
found his ideal" who will do this
has presently to put up with the I'M
hattering fact that the soul of the CON-
PLEASANT woman was but a featureless
thing to begin with; and II is a fore
cast of not only ~Browning's e~xtraordi-
nary ability to differentiate between
women, but also of the width and san
ity of his consciousness that he ended
this early poem gently tolerant of the
Byron would have cried out
to Heaven, earth and the other place
against her perfidy. Shelley would
have pitied himself unto tears; Keats
would have forgotten both manhood
and the constraint of respect for indi-
viduality--fatalest lapse of memory IN
dealing with wonderland would nave
agonized before her to hold her to the
best against her abilities; Tennyson
would have stung her with contempt
for her decision: only this lad. who held
within his youth The potentialities OF
a masculinity as understanding and
genial as it was powerful. c the
rune of the thing, that, for good or for
i'll, the woman was but according to her
capacity; and his hero recovered him
self with sweet re~asonableness."
Yet Browning could, above many,
voice scorn in another who has lost
the prize. Mark the grim bitterness

himself needed not such bitter med1-

Advice Governing Mourning.
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly give me your advice on the
following subjects: I am a young girl
is years old. and last week my sister
died. Is it necessary to go in deep
mourning? My folks do not approve
of going in mourning? Is six months
generally the time one has to go in
mourning for a sister? | am taking
piano lessons, and must / wait till six
months are up before playing on the
piano? | would love to keep on play
ing. Is one allowed to attend theatres,
parties. etc? Hoping TO find an answer
soon in the Evening STAR, l remain.
AUDREY.
Mourning nowadays is not as heavy
nor worn for such a long period as for
merly. A year is the length of time
it is generally worn COR a brother or
sister. If your family does not approve
of mourning it would be better for you
not to wear it. There is no reason why
YOU should give up taking music les
sons One is not supposed to go to the
theatre for several months after the
death of a member of the family.

xxEAsURED in one way, the meas

M EAsURED in one way the meas
1V1 ure of a poet is his measure as a
man. That way is his understanding
of types of wome and his attitude
towards those types.
Measured thus Browning stands OF
greater stature than n other. with
the single exception of Shakespeare,
and even here, If at some. points he
comes short of III Shakespearian pro-
portions. it is not too much to say that
in "Pompilia" and In "Balaustion' he
exceeds them.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
points to study in Browning is the
growth of his skill in portraying women
until he gave US those two tncompar-
able portraits, 1t is an arresting skill
which handles h who gives
the title to Pauline" The hero of
Browning's first poem is in no way
distinctive, his characteristics are SIM
ply those of the average young man
possessed of ideas, poetic aspirations,
and a chaos of underlined powers;
while the poem itself. considered as
a work OF art. has the artistic flaws
and the morbidness of n phase of ex-
IRENE youth; and yet the woman IN
II stands out complete, distinct.
We see her quite apart from the
philosophisings. of the hero. All poets
from Dante and Petrarch, to Tennyson
and Coventry Patmore, have philoso-
phised on and analysed the influence
of women on men. The unique thine
in the case of Pauline Is that in q
noeu con1pact of vaguenesS, panthe-
ism. and self-consciousness, which Is
morbid because it is not yet realized 'ntc
a workable possession, the M Is
no mere nebulae evolving from the
gaseous fumes of youth. She is a com
plete star, albeit a malefic star. The
form and color of her are distinctly
seen. She is not averse TO heing loved
she endures his raptures in a detached
conventionally wise fashion.
Out of his own ideal OF what she is

the hero creates a being who is to
understand, sympathize and save. In
this Browning docs not display any of
that understanding of a woman's indi-
viduaiity as ii is apart altogether from
mans. Afterwards this understanding
trait is characteristic of Browning
treatment of women, and it is a trait
which saves the whole gallery of his
women, from the dulness which too fire.
~quently creeps upon Tennyson's types.
In Pauline we have a quite ordinary,
exacting. selfish woman done in a quite
extraordinary way. We sec that a wom-
an possessed of the salf-sacrihcing or
protective instinct might have striven
to adapt herself to the situation in
come degree. 1t was the being what
she was that saved the situation. On
the last analysis there is no phase of

are fabrics beneath which simpler,
straighter lines arc essential, and the
