fashioned way. Suffrage expects the
man and his wife to be equal heads
of the house. Nor does the modern
suffrage wife expect to be ruled by
any mere man.
THE only speck of truth in DR..
Waugh's theory 1 can find Is in his
second statement, where he says,
When you have her, live for her. she
demands it, OF course, she demands
it. And it's her right to do SO. Every
woman demands her husband to de-
the suffrage idea, If he doesn't he's
going to hear from her In short order.
Calls Arguments Absurd.
Now, take what he says about
beating her when she makes you jeal-
Gus. That is the most absurd thing /
ever heard of. 1t Is part of wom-
ans duty to make her husband 5eal-
Gus. That Is one of the ways she
holds his affections. 1t is human ma
ture to want what you're not sure of,
and when a mans not sure Of a WON
an he wants her a lot more than IL
she was groveling about at his feet
all the time. II man beat his wife
every time she made him jealous,
she'd hate the ground he walked on
in ten minutes.
He says fear and devotion are
synonymous. That's also ridiculous.
Imagine loving anything you dread or
fear AS for fearing wives sitting up
ali night, we'll, maybe they do, but it's
trying to devise some plan to placate
their lords and not to please them"
General Resale went into a parox-
ysm of mirth over the gravity of DR..
Waughs remark that the appreciation
Of masculine lords was worth striving
for. "Ha, hal" chuckled the little
general, Il knew he was a bachelor.
The way for a man to hold a
woman's love and respect is to be
gentle to her. He can be firm with
out beating her on the head with q
golf club or punching her in the eye.
| doubt If any woman ever really
loved q man better after he had
kicked her in the shins or knocked
her down and pounded her into a
comatose condition. But have
known them to love him better be-
cause he was good and kind, and
thoughtful and attentive, and strong,
but not brutal.
Echo of Past Ages.
LAS for women being unable to con-
troll themselves and needing to be
controlled by a man, that is all a
thing OF the past ages. Modern wom-
EN- mean suffragists, of course
selves, but l imagine are quite well
equipped to control others when
necessary. DR.. Waugh is simply a
joke And General Rosalie laughed
again.
Quite different was the viewpoint of
Mrs. Samuels.
Il do not agree with all he says"
she declared, but there is surely
lot of common sense behind his
theory. No. l have never myself
been beaten; my husband did not
find 1t necessary to do so. but
know of cases where beatings would
have been very effective among
wives.
The theory that man is master
and woman his slave is as old as
time 1t goes back TO the days OF the
cave men, who knocked their wives
on the head and carried them back
home on their shoulders. l doubt IL
any common woman ever loved a
man as those women OF old loved
their lords.
This Woman Agrees With Him.
1T is woman's nature to be ruled.
II she is not ruled she will search till
she finds some one who will COM
mand her. That Is the cause OF
much OF the domestic infelicity OF to-
day. | do not know that fear and
love are as closely allied as Dr.
Waugh says, but 1t is certain there
is an affinity between them some
where. A woman who fears the
wrath of her husband loves him bet.
ter than a woman who has no fear OF
him at all, is the way | would put IT.
Il concur heartily In his advice to
