VMBER lOi ' SOCIETY AND DIVORCE , Should Divorced Women Do Ro- coivod.ln Society ?

The life of the spotless Hmpiess Josephine ptoves to all of us that tlio v.oid "divoieo" may only imply misfor tune not error. However htrongly opposed v\o ma ) bo to the principle ( or lack of it ) involved in tlie divoice law , each of us knows fcomo ono innoccnl woman who has passed thtotigh its fiery ordeal and ) ct letainod our sympathy and icspcet. Without doubt it is Iho most painful experience which c.in befall a sensitive woman. Publicity given to one's sor- lous , of whatever nature , intensities them tenfold. Publicity given to the most mivato and baeted telations on cmth is little shoil of ciucilixion. To have vour , disappointments dis cussed in the frivolous fashion of the daily piess , to have bleeding wounds plot cod by Hie coai-o jests of law dis pensers , to hear ) our mo ? ! secret troub les eominented oil by stiangets , .smoly the cup of em thly sonow can hold no bitteter notion than Ibis. The woman \oluntaiilvpasscs tin ough this mil e in older to find her wav out of mm lingo into ftcedomis eitnera gieat suiroior wotthyof our deepesl mpathv and our shongest sup- pott , or elsu she is a eoarse-fibied crea- lute , who levels in notoriety and is galled by the domestic ) oko. She must ho one or the other. Woman is by nature and education a lelined and sensativo , and somewhat vain being. She shrinks fiom any pub licity whicji does not ptescnl her in a llattering light. She ma ) feel a foolish pride in posing as the professional beauty and admned belle , but she does not couit the tolo of tlio neglected wife , It is not complimentaiy to her powers of attraction. Tlieiefoio I do not believe bho cnleis the divoieo court unless she is com pelled to do so by an unrelenting fate , which she ilnds'to ciuel too combat. When she does , she is an abnoimal cieaturo , who , tin ough M > mo accident of biith , is devoid of tlio liner qualities of the sev. The aveiage wife is made happy and content by a very small exhibition of love , and ver ) ot.linaiy methods of kindness. Kye'ry day and ever ) > v ! > oio I bee women giving pounds of gtatitudo for ounces of attention f torn their hus bands. Evorywheio and every day I see vomen eeonomi/ing with cents , while their husbands llnovv away dollar * ) . Thcteforo I behcvo that it requite pionounced cruelty and decided lack of bjippott to force women into an applica tion for divotco. They will bear a vast amount of poveity and neglect be- foio the ) rcsoit to biieh a method of le- drebs. Indeed , we can all of us cite scores of cases wheto wives cover up and con done tlie woibt ollcn-es against their dignit ) and theirhappincbs lather than give publicity to their soriows. I hemd a gentleman express an opin ion on this hiibject not long ago. Ho paid : "If the law permitted the inat tention and impoliteness mid fault-Had ing was of husbands to bo just eau = es of divoice , men would make far better hfo paitiiois. A man often neglects a woman , " ho s.iid , "just be- causo.sho belongs to him , and ho knows bho will bear it , If he knew that ho was liable to lo-o her by that neglect ho would bo moio on his cu.ud , as ho is in thodiibof courtship. " I asked him if the same rule might not apply to both o\es. " .No , " he said , ' 'for women ate truci nnd moio domestic by n.ituio , moio easily satisfied with their choice PI mar riage , and more unwilling to become themes of public gossip. Kino men tire of their wives whom ono woman tires ol her husband. The law amended as ] Miggost it would not ineieaao divotces but would speedily ineiease the nimibei of good husbands. " I once heard an opinion expressed that no divoiccd man or woman was over happy aftei waul , Thov might bo less misctablo than while in bondage hut no absolute happiness overcame to them , the sneaker held. I do not think this is true ; yet it mu requno a gieat and unusual joy to erad- cato the elTect of such an e\porionoete heait and soul. Ono of the most refined and beautiful women I over knew , a good daughter , a faithful wife , a devoted mother , a noble friend. wa compelled to become i divoicco in order to pio&crvo liorbflf lospcet and to ictain the legal custod\ of her childien. burol ) the "Foeict ) " which bars its dims to such a woman is itself the loser The woman who would allow a foolish whim or a lawless passion to bring her into the divorce court , or the woman who ib compelled to appear there to maintain her husband' * dignity at the cost of her own reputation , is quite another being. I'.ven if society is sometimes deceived bvhor , we cannot , envy her the little plcasuie bho m.i ) derive fiom the tickle fanis. . There is no success , no wealth , no triumph wlucb can lender trulv haptn the woman \ho e lifo will not 'b"ar in vestigation. A spectio walls o'.eibv her sido. a skeleton sits with her at the 'east , the voice of her own liner oU is forever licensing her , and she ( heads discovery bv lhi cruel world , v Inch is to nitllcss to erring woiren.

Yet it behooves us to bo humane be fore we aioenlous. . Wo iiuve no right to pa .s judgment caielc xly on any per son whoso prlvuto life we do not know. We have no light to brand a woman tin- vvorthj becuu o she is divoiced. Life is too shoi t to bo used in wounding ono another without just cause. The woman who has found happiness in man iage has i cached the highest joy this eaith can oiler ; and thowonmn who bus met u ilh disappointment and soriow in mat riage has hounded the vei'i depths of eui th's misery. It is good for us till to remember this when wo hear the wotd divoice applied to any woman. Hemembor she hns tasted the very bitteiest cup fate can foico to human lips , and that she has missed the ono blessing which makes life wortli living.

And so ho ii , in truth , of late. Tenujson always has been si genuine Union , which means that lie has fret n bit of the bulldog in him. Cailyle had more of the Miarling cur. but Tonn.\son is ono of the un- eoutlicst old-school giants now left in England. The poet's mttuio accounts for much of his e\ecpUonal ie&oi\e. \Vhon ho is in his most nminhlo mood ho is absent , and makes jott feel doubt ful whether ho isn't ically talking his thoughts to the solid wall. Tennj- sott was drhen from his lovely Isle of Wight homo by the hoides of sight seers , who iiuadcd his gionnds , his liouso , and would ha\o snipped hi.s curls and collar by the inch as iclics , if ho had stayed there much longer. So ho built himself a hon o out of the princely fottuno his books ha\e biought him , though ho has been the most btisincss-lilco poet in the money making line that o\er made fame. I forget how often ho had changed his publishers , the last of whom candidly in foi mid his loidship that even a titled lain eat should onlj effect ufair mnikot jiiollt on his wtuob. If Tennyson had been fostoicd , as ho uiK'ocomplnined , by Amoi lean cm iostt\ - mongeis , ho did not object to the AliiO check sent him b.an . Ametic.tn period ical for a shoit poem. The pool's new house stands in a dimming bit of Sussex landscape , far fiom the beaten tiack , lest the ciowd should follow. Tlie old seaside homo ih still used for a portion of the \ear , but in this house at Ila/lemoie Tennyson lives most of his now fading life , it is pitclied high , on a rich wooden ridge whence the ejo may sweei | a landscape teeming with all the Mined luxuriance of the gat den ol England. Those most familiar with hib wotks say that Tennj son's later jioems me insiied ] ) by the hills that sur- lound ins Sussex homo , in contrast to the cailier ones , inlluenced by the Hat expanses of Lincolnshire , where he & ] ) ent his joung day ? . Ho has but led his home amid ttees. They stand all ' around like a thick phalanx' sentries , keeping gum watch and waul o\or the stiango man who will be heard but will not be seen. Tn ido the inner ring thoto are gardens trim and pi city , though no especial pride is taken in anj thing out side the walls. The garden of his Isle of Wight house was moio picturesquely ragged than elegantly oideied. binco ho accepted'Mr. . Gladstone's- pceiago ( though lie will live as plain as Alfied Tcnnjson ) ho has favoied soci ety with moio of his picbencc if not of his gr.ieiousness. la ictiiin for his baiony Tonn.wm ga\o one \oto in the hou o of peers , it was liist and. soon after his eloMttion , on Gladstone's side ex tending the fraiielnso , but ON or pinco then his uttetanco and his sympathies have been in the opposite 'diteetion. binco the death of Ins fa\orito son , last jear , ho lias been less in societi , and after Ins recent ill- nesa it is unlikely bo will ictuin to it , even in the balf-hcaited way ho did.
