: The old English law granted
man the right to control his wife by
beating her, provided he did not use
a stick bigger around than his
thumb. But in these emancipated
days the man who undertook to dis
cipline a lady with a rod, even if
she was married to him, would find
himself in the police court, and
subsequently in the divorce court
also.
Likewise public opinion does not
countenance the Chastisement of dis
obedient wives, for the conventions
of polite society do not permit a
man to raise his hand against
woman no matter how much he
would like to do so. There remains,
then, only moral suasion. This is
generally effective if indirectly ap-
piled, for it is the easiest thing in
the world to work a woman if you
so about it the right way, and
there are mighty few things that a
husband cant jolly his wife into
doing.
All that a husband has to do to
make his wife eat out of his hand
is just to tell her how much he
loves her, and admires her, and ap-
preciates everything she does for
him, and how happy it would make
him if she would do q certain thing,
or how doing some other thing is
blemish on her. otherwise perfect
character, or looks. She will gulp it
all down, and be so obedient to his
wishes that she will Guido Patient
Griselda herself.
But to order a woman to do any
thing! To tell her where she gets
on and where she gets off! To come
right out flat-footed and assert his
marital authority! To forbid her to-
do this, and to do that! And es-
pecially for a mere husband to die
tate to a woman about her clothes,
