SAYINGS OF

Tyranny?

Wherefore Tyranny?
HTHEREFORE, my Son, dost
Wv thou dwell in fear and trem-
bling, least Woman become dizzy
with power, and seek to snatch
thy sceptre from thee?
For 10, Woman may have
ceased to rock the cradle and
learned to run the f1tvver, but
never will she seek to rule the
world.
Nay. never shall Woman tyran-
nize over Man, even az he hath
tyrannized over HERR For
verify, she may have cut off her
hair and cast aside her corsets
and her shackles, but still is she,
at heart, a RIB!
Go to. Never will a woman
leave her husband ALONE, eve
nings, while she goeth out to
her club and her lodge meetings.
For, she knoweth better than
to leave a man to his own de-
vices. And, she is aware that
when she returneth, he will not
be watching the clock or putting
the Water-waves in his hair!
Never will a woman keep her
mouth closed and refuse to tell
a. man her secret thoughts. For
man hath thus tortured woman,
all his days; but TELLING is
woman's delight and that which
is in her mind is soon out Of her
mouth.
Verify, no woman will deny her
husband a new hat, nor seek to
curb his extravaganza in head
gear! For persuading an hus-
band to purchase a new hat, be.
fore the old one hath fallen from
his head, is the feat of a woman's
life!
She will not expect him to pick
I'M her things, neither to sew the
buttons on her teddy bears;
neither to find her shoes, nor to
hunt for her lost umbrella!
For. she knoweth that in all
the DAYS of his life, NO man hath
ever found anything for which
he searched!
She will not urge him to stay
at home and "putter around the
house" even as he hath coun-
seled her to do. For, q man
around the house all day is q
trial to the spirit and a torment
to the nerves. And, no woman
can BEAR it!
She will not ri I've and cover
him with wrath and contumely,
when he bobbeth his hair. Nay,
verify. For hath she not spent
three-quarters of her life in In
ducing him to get q haircut,
when he needed it?
How then, do men fear the
tyranny of Woman?
For IL, in all these ways,
wherein man hath tormented her,
she declineth to bully him, how
