"When tliis question was lirst pro-
poumlud to mo I thouglit ono might as
well ask "Should the of
, thopitits our
dead go to heaven V Not thai society
mid heaven mo biionmous terms far
fiom it ; but tlio imiKs of Ihe divorced
icptesetit almost as many varieties and
kinds of women as thoianksof the de
parted.
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.
No matter w'lat prosperity ma ) spem
o be het-s , she is to bo pitied by God
tnd man.

Yet it behooves us to bo humane be

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

Yet this man ( now olo\atcd above the

for a quaitor of a century boon the
most idoli/od and socially pei scented

lion into his den , and now ,
"liilco it out of him' ' by tajing
lie's a bear. 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

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

ragged than elegantly oideied.
