A Mans Requirements and Womans Shortcomings

Scarcely one of us has been so remiss
as to let Mrs, Browning's charming little
poems entitled. "A Mans Requirements"
and "Woman's Shortcomings" go by un-
read. In fact they are so full of human
interest that they afford much fold for
thought and reflection.
1t is well established fact that the
average man in describing his ideal wom-
an first and foremost of all, declares
that she must be endowed with "domes-
tic virtues"
Then, when called upon to define the
meaning of such an expression, he looks
vague and embarrassed and mystified,
and murmurs' something inaudible.
Yea, verify. domestic svirtues' may
mean anything and everything when used
by mere man.
1t may mean that a woman shall be
everything from a sculery maid to a
queen;
From a sedatif to stimulant;
From a model mother to n fashion plate;
From possessing the disposition of a
saint to the housekeeping ability of a
Martha;
From a silent listener to good talker
as the occasion demands
From being endowed with the cunning

as modesty goes with men, and kind
and gentle.
He boasted to his friends that he
cared not for great beauty in women,
nor yet for intellectually; the latter,
he declared, was a prerogative of man
and he wanted no rivals in his own
household.
But instead, he wanted wife whose
home was her kingdom and who would
see that things were kept in order and
whose chief literature would be Mrs
melody orr Others Cook Book
He wooed and won, did this gall
lant knight, and-yes, they lived hap
PLY as the story books say, for u
time.
There was no burned beetfsteak for
breakfast.
His house in order" to borrow from
Mr. Pinero, was always discernable.
Never was there cup of poor cof-
fee on the table.
And every chair was busted, even
to the rungs on the rockers, which
sounds like a fairy tale, but is never
theless true.
She proved a good and faithful wife,
did this Martha, minitering to her hus-
bands wants and seeing that his studs

ness of a Becky Sharpe, and the gentle
ness of a Maggie Tulliver, to the ambi-
tions of Lady Macbeth.
This and much more must woman be
yea. everything from cook to an houri
and then some more!
As matter of fact, no man ever chose
a woman to fall in love with for her
traits of character, but much more for
the arch of her pretty instep, a trick of
the eyebrows. the cuteness of her rose
bud mouth or the wave of her hair.
After this has been accomplished, then
comes the demand that she shall possess
the domestic virtues besides which
again may mean in his mind, after they
are married and the poor little woman
is trying to keep house ON $1,000 a year,
that:
She finds the tackhammer when he
comes home in the afternoon and wants
TO nail;
That every pair of socks that he takes
from his chiffoner is darned and ready
to wear;
That she find his collar button the mo-
ment that it has popped out of his shirt
front and hidden itself securely under
the dresser;
And that dinner shall be ready the

mug cleanly and his trousers pressed,
and she stayed at home evenings and
crocheted tides.
But listen
The man made loads and piles of
money and a political bee got in his
bonnet. and soon he bore his honors
thick and fast upon him. and he be-
came a very we'll known citizen, whom
the papers referred to as among the
prominent men of the town." like the
story of "The Governors Lady" which
Mr.. Belasco has staged wonderfully
He had to entertain persons of note,
celebrities and men of affairs. and his
wife had to mngle with women of the
world and do the "sassiety act,' as It
We're.
She tried her best, poor thing. She
tried and tried and tried, but alas: all
the dozens of pages of MRS Some
body or Others Cook Book" which she
knew by heart availed her nothing,
and the fact that she could tell when
soufle was done and how to fricasse
chicken and all that was as dross to
what was now required of her.
Her husband began to take notice :
He observed how elegant and charming
other mems wives were, and the savior
faire with which they did the honors
of their homes.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-01-18

moment he comes into the house, which
varies each day anywhere from $50 to
$50.
Domestic virtues in a woman also
mean to a man:
Utter elimination of self.
To be entertained when he is telling
about his affairs, his sense, "his"
wonderful ability. his" courage and
"his" diplomacy till the "his-es" are
dotted through the conversation like
telegraph poles along a flying train.
Domestic virtues mean that a wom-
an should prefer his society to any
body else in the world after she mar
ries him.
Even if she is only permitted now
and then to sit in the same room with
him but not to address him on pain
of his displeasure.
And now l am going to tell you a lit
tie fable, kind readers, which l shall
label
DOMESTICITY IN FEMININITY.
There once dwelt nice, amiable lit
tie woman who possessed as nearly
within our ken as any lady we ever
knew all the domestic virtues"

for treason
In no other American case is there to
be found such an array of historical
figures. The prisoner at the bar had

years before had tied Thomas Jefferson

was the blood of the most prescient
statesman the nation has ever known.
The presiding judge was the chief JUS
lice of the supreme court of the United
States, John Marshall The foreman of
the grand jurH was John Randolph of
Roanoke. Among the prosecutors was
William Writ, who afterward became one
of the ablest of the Attorney Generals of
the United States. For the defense
there was Edmund Randolph, ex-Attor-
ney General and eX-Secretary of State
of the United States John Wicksham,
Charles Lee, ex-Attorney General of the
United States and Washington Irving,
who 1t was thought might in some way
or other be of service with his pen. y

the mystery of whose death remains un-
solved. President Jefferson was sum-
moned as a witness, but out of hatred
for Burr and Marshall refused to ap'

The story of the trial has been re-
