Mrs. Stillman's Philosophy
on Financiers and Women

In a running fire Of comment on
the weaknesses Of certain types OF
great Wall Street financiers. partic-
ularly exemplified by her husband.
Mrs, James A. Stillman says.
Wall Street men, in their terrific
drive for wealth and power, become
enthralled by money mania, a
power complex" which impcls them
to avoid women Of their own plane,
because they will not brook equality.
and causes them to seek the society
Of their interiors, like Mrs. Leeds. ;"
This mania often turns into n re
lentlessly destructive motif, directed
against the ones they once loved
their own families.
They seek the fattery that their
own wives will not give them, be-
cause wives seek to aid their hus-
bands by telling them the truth.
This leads them to succimb to com
mercialized love, governed by the
size Of jeweled gift and based en- :
tirely on their wealth and power.
Women are three. quarters emo
tion and only one quarter intclli-
gence, and that is why men have the
better Of them all through life.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-06-16

course, nobody is all bad and nobody
is all good.
One cannot say that wealth is Mt
the root OF the trouble altogether, she
declared.
although there Is no doubt that Il
brings fattery and servility and the
fawning Of interiors;" Mrs. Stillman
continued. ut depends a lot, however,
on how the child IL brought up. The
children Of some rich people remain
simple and sweet throughout their lives.
Perhaps Mr.. Stillman might not have
been so popular had he not been 10
wealthy. Certainly he would not be
popular with certain class. Men with
money are fattered and their vanity
and ego fed. Their wives never fatter
them. The mistake that women make
is that they sacrifice themselves in
pushing their loved ones ahead. They
suffer more than men and men have
decidedly the best Of It. II women used
their intelligence more things would be
more evenly adjusted. A woman needs
a rudder. She is three quarters feeling
and one-quarter intelligence. That il
how men manage to get the better Of
her all through life"
