WHY OSCAR WILDE'S W.T.
DIDN'T MAKE HIM POPULAR.

DllDN u MANI ltIM i-OIN t4AAh.
Many Of the great men who have
attained prominence or have in
. creased their fame because OF their
Wit have displayed tendency i'm
this direction i'm early youth. Such
was the case with Oscar Wilde. the
English poet and playwright
As a little boy. Wilde was not very
tidy or puuctiious as 90 his dress.
Like most little boys. he had an
aversion to giving much time or
care to the washing of his mock and
wrists one time. while at board
inc school. the head master called
Oscars attention 10 the fact that
those particular parts of his per
son were rather darker than the
rest Of his complexion
Wilde became very indignant and
said:
My skin is darls-not because #
is dirty. but because my blue blood
shows through"
Oscar Wilde nad biting and
sarcastic way of summing up "a per-
son ror situation 1t very often
hurt the feelings Of the individual
concerned, but i'm the long run-as
every one so inclined finds QUIT
really hurt Wilde himself one of
his biographers believes that this
trait and his facility for using his
wit in this manner, caused Oscar
Wilde 10 be so terribly criticised
later in life
For instance Wilde was once
speaking of one OF his Irish CON
tempOraries--for although Wilde
was known as an English writer
he was born i'm Dublin. the son OF
a celebrated physician-and Wilde
said Of the Irishman.
He has no enemies. but he is in
tensely disliked by his friends"
Another time. Wilde was told that
a certain Russian hated hima As it
happened. Wilde hated the Russian
in return.
II seems that the Russian had
come 20 London. hoping to take So
ciety by storm. but that he had not
] had the social success to which he
! had aspired and was obliged 10 go
into business.
In speaking Of his failure 10 daz-
zle London. Wilde casually remark
ed:
He came TO London i'm the hopes of
founding a salon He has only sue
ceeded i'm opening a restaurant"
Unlike the gentleman i'm question
Wilde not only shone i'm his own
salon. but was much sought after
by every host and hostess of promi-
hence in London after his plays had
become the rage His . wit was
bound 20 entertain their guests. and
they knew f. For Wilde was A
master Of repartee.

FAMOUS WITS" OF HISTORY
Little Stories OF Men and Women
Whose Sayings Are Still Remembered
By MARK STUYVESANT -

I'm his Life of Oscar Wilde" r.
IT, Shcrard writes:
"One day arriving very late at a
luncheon party Wildc's hostess
mildly demonstrated with him FOR
the delay. pointing 20 the clock i'm
support of her rebuke. Wilde eX-
claimed:
And what. madam. do you
think that little clock knows Of
what the great golden sun is do
ing?
The retort was an able one, but
nonetheless would that hostess feel
that as an excuse for her burned
entrees and the Inconvenience OF
her guests it was hardly the amend
which she was entitled TO expect,
and i'm her heart there would he a
feeling against the wit"
There is a movement on foot now
in England 20 remove the disagree
able flavor from the memory or Os-
car Wilde Many of the admirers
Of the author Of the brilliant plays.
Lady Windermere's Fan" The
Importance. of Being Earnest and
the famous poem, The Ballad OF
Reading Gaol," think he should be
remembered without protest
But one thing we know and this
is that the biting wit Of Oscar Wilde
did not make him popular

Ddllu,
"A woman's home is no longer
within four walls. 1t is the whole
country. She should be just as
ashamed of a dirty spot in her city
as she would be in her own home.
1T is just as much her duty to
do civic housekeeping as home
cleaning. That is what women will
do when they realize to the fullest
extent their political rights, when
they are in the legislatures where
they are needed.
All women should be looked upon
as earners and not as dependents
upon their husbands.
An ~expectant mother should be
regarded as a soldier in the service
of her country and should be pen
stoned during the period when she Is
incapacitated for other service, just
as a soldier is paid while or duty.
Trial marriages would be a ma
woman in a home where there are
equal rights for both is my ideal.
THE double standard of morals
has brought about untold suffering
on the innocent victims, the mothers
and children.
Independence of the right sort
will not make ome less attrac-
tive and womanly, but will increase
their charm. Intellig ence Is a
greater beautifier than any beauty
treatment ever invented"
Mrs. CcCollum is from Kansas,
but she lectures in all parts of the
country.
