PUZZLED OVER WOMEN
FEMALE SEX : MYSTERY TO THE
HEBREW sAGES.
Classed Wi:h Fools as Subjects Be
yond Comprehension - Remarks
Made by Author of the Book
Ut EccIesiasticus

Two subjects seem to have occupied
a marked degree. They are always re-
curing to them In the midst Of max
fms about the conduct of life the sage
cannot forbear to take a side swipe
at fools and women. He finds them
both beyond comprehension
To get his point OF view it Is neces-
sary to remember that there were no
asylums in the Orient. Every village
had its imbeciles. who were feature
of tie town life The village fool was
a far more prominent person in the
ancient East, and forced himself much
more on public attention than the
feeble minded person Of today, who
usually is kept in the background.
AS for women? Well. the ancient
world never was able to make them
out any way. Their incessant chatter
Ing was evidently a great annoyance
to the solemn, white-bearded patri-
archs.
One of the most human of the an
cient sases was the author OF the
Book OF Ecclesiasticus IN the Apoc-
rypha, Jesus, the son OF Sirach. His
book has a distinct flavor. a quality
that makes it entertaining reading.
The imagination pictures him a man
of gracious dignity, reserved, serious.
taking his obligations with the grav-
ity of his race. Experience has dis
closed to him most of the mysteries
Of the world-except women.
"A daughter" he confesses. rs a
secret cause OF wakefulness to IA
Their, and the care of her putteth away
sleep" That seems to have been the
general attitude of the sages toward
the female aspect of affairs. He en-
larges on the subject in another place:
Il will rather dwell with lion and
a dragon than keep house with
wicked woman. The wickedness OF
woman changeth the look and dark
eneth her countenance as bear doth.
Her husband shall sit at meat among
his neighbors, and when he heareth
1t he sigheth bitterly. All malice is
out llttlo 10 the malice VI d WouIdA,
let the portion Of sinner fall on her.
AS the going up sandy way is to the
feet Of the aged, SO is wife full Of
words to a quiet man. A wicked wom-
an is abasement of heart, and sadness
of countenance, and wounded heart.
A woman that will not make her hus-
} band happy is as hands that hang
down. and palsied knees. From a
woman was the beginning Of sin. and
| because Of her we all die. A silent
woman is gift of the Lord"
The "wickedness" to which SO much
exception was taken seems to have
been contentiousness. The wise man
of the East, DESTROYS Of leading con-
templative life, was simply worn to
death by an ill-tempered, talkative
wife. That was why silent woman
was a gift Of the Lord The only bit
OF conversation on the part of Socra-
ties with Xantippe that is recalled is
the word, Hush"
