he Petty Tyrant Husband
is the Meanest Man
' on Earth
i,s 4. 15y fyoROTHV MX.
Hii'vfns discussed tlic meanest man In
thn '.world, nnd' the meanes( girl, and tho
meanest wife, let us: now turn our ul
tcntton to the meanest husband.
The'law, which Is made, by man and
voices- the mascu
line' viewpoint of
high" crime, and
tnlsdemcnnors, declares-
: that the
meanest husband Is'
th&moii who Is un
faithful to his wife,
ori'whb beats her,
orSwhp drinks too
nmc"h'"or who fullij
toisuport her.
It)' almost all of
thif. states, except
Now Vork, a wo
man'' van get u di
vorce from her
huLbu'rid for any
omsVfTjhese faults.
In New York, no
iratter how a man
utarves, or thrashes, or llltrcats his wlfo
ho; -Is n.ot considered to be really mean
enougjv to her to entitle her to a divorce,
unless he Is disloyal to her, and In South
Carolina tho nveuuest sort of a husband
Is presumed to be good enough for any
kind of a wife, for there Is no divorce
at'-all In that antiquated community.
Now,, undoubtedly It Is harrowing to a
wife's feelings, and It shatters love's
young dream for him to glvo her n black
eye. It Is haid enough, Heaven knows, on
the'' wbman who has a drunken on a
uhlftlcss husband, but none of these men,
faulty-though they be, hold the champion
ship medal for tho meanest husband.
Nor will woman when they come to
have, a hand In tho law maklpg, put
either Infidelity, or drunkenness, or
Physical brutalltj', or chronic laziness at
the head .of tho .list of .causes for divorce.
Tho man who occasionally strays off
the straight and narrow path Is often tho
most devoted and attentive and generous
husband at home. Ills sin Is of tho flesh
rather tharot tho spirit, and women un
derstand this so well that they can
overjook.lt In thousands of cases, and as
u matter of faqt, wjien a wlfe.rcfuses to
forgive infidelity It Is' generally not be
cause the man has otherwise qualified in
the mean husband' class. .
Also the marr. who drinks -too much
almoa't Invariably has' the redeeming
virtue of being sympathetic and tender
Mid Companionable; the ne'er-do-well is
generally eminently lovable, and even
the fists of ar bruto do not leave such
wounds and scars on a woman's body as
Faf Is Ridiculous
Overfat men and women, mortified and
humiliated by the publicity of comdIcu- ;
ous rolls and billows of fat, are gradually
learning that through the discovery of an

the hurts that tho man who Is a spiritual
bully can leave on her soul.
. No, nono of these accepted types of
tho bad husband are entitled to be tho
hcadllners In the mean husband show.
The meanest husband on earth is the
petty tyrant of the hearthstone, the man
who takes advantage of his position to
browbeat and humiliate and insult his
wife, and to torture her by every refine
ment of cruelty through the long years
of their married lite.
You think there arc no such men?
Relieve me,' they aro plentiful,, and the
only reason there are not lynching bees
Jn which many a prominent citizen
would figure as the guest of honor Is,
because the thing a woman never tells
until she is on tho way to the divorce
court Is how her husband treats her
when the company Is gone and the doors
aro shut, and they two are alone to
gether. t
Do you never jjta to' a dinner lp .wlilcli.
the host's funiiles? story li to tell, with:
embellshments. of some mistake his
wife has made? Did you never watch tho
look of a bated rabbit come into such a
woman's face and observe how sho
looks suddenly down at the plate to
hide the tears In her eyes? That was a
glimpse, you got of tho meanest husband j
In the world': '
Do you.' know households where for
days at a time tho husband Bits up In
frozen silence, refusing to speak and
tell what is the matter, or how his
augustness has been offended, while ills
poor humble wife prostrates herself he
fore him and apologizes for things she
never did, and wears herself to a fraz
zle trying' to propltlato her lord and
master? Apd have you not felt, behold
ing him, that you came pretty near to
beholding a masterpiece of meanness?
Do you not know men whoso Insane
tempers keep their wives In cowering
fear men wh,d, If the slightest thing
goes wrong In 'the household, pour out
upon their wives such vituperation and
curses as none of their friends would
believe them capable of using In a
Woman's presence, to say nothing of
visiting upon their wives? How's that
for meanness? --
I know, women who H'e ,ln such deadly
fear of their husband's temper and ' in
sults that they never speak without first
canvassing' a subject In their own minds
to see If there is anything In it that
could possibly annoy their husbands, or
give them an opening for the cruel jibes
that they lie In wait to make against, the
woman or her family, or some" subject
dear to, her heart. I know of husbands
whose chief pleasure in life Is In stabbing
their wives to the quick by sarcasm, or
ridicule, and who take the same fiendish
delight In tormenting the women lp their
power that a savage takes in hacking
his victim to pieces.
And strange to-s'ay these men are nearly
always men who stand high among their
fellows, who are leaders In the 'church,
and probably celebrated for the geniality
and gallantry outside of the home, and
esteemed model husbands because they
provide their wives with a decont place
to live and good clothes,
Uut many a smug-faced hypocrite would
get the medal for tho meanest husband
It his wife would step forth and tell the
truth, and sav "this man knows I am
dependent upon hlpi, and he humiliates
me by Insulting me every time I ask
for a penny. No slave fearing the
master's labh, over quaked with terror
as I do when I prenent a bill to him.
There Is nothing that ho could say that
would wound me that he has left unsaid,
and In all the years I have been married
to him he has given me no tenderness,
no praise, - no recognition even of my
faithful service as wife and mother."
That's tho- meanest husband in the
world, the man who takes a woman's
llfo into his keeping and ruins It, the
man who could make his wife happy by
a kind and lovjng word, and who Is too
mean to say It. By the side of that,
robbing blind babies Is a noble and heroic
act.

Interviews are frequently difficult to

people who not only-permit themselves to
bo Interviewed, but even go ns far as to
Interview themselves.
A striking example of tho voluntarily

well-known author of "The Conqueror."
"Julia France and Her Times" and "Tho
Tower of Ivory." This woman knows
exactly for what she wishes to stand nmi.
therefore. Is perfectly sure of her ability
to stnnd. So In a recent series of ques
tions and answers which she substituted
for tho ordinary "speech," Mrs. Athcrton
sketched a vivid nijd living outline of her
attitude toward herself, and her times.
Every line of Mrs. Athcrton's figure Is
femininely curving; her trim tailored suit
n akes that qulto evident. A smart little
wuiged hat set utop her red gold hair
flaunts her Independence of spirit; for
that hat is set above the hair In normal
hat-fashion, whilst all tho rest of us pull
our chapeaux down about our ears, where
collars nrtd scarfs belong. .The , fresh
flvhite gloves and .trim boots complete a
picture of the eternal feminine. That Is
what you think, and then Mrs. Atherton
tells you what ho think.

was Henry of Nav

Though a dweller
among the shades

Henry's personality

lovable as when it shone through hie
eyes and animated his voice In the days
of the long ago.
Everybody loved Hehry, even his re
ligious and political enemies. His great
good nature, his fellow-feeling, his free
dom from cant, and vanity, and hypoc
risy, endeared him to all. It was Im
possible to meet lii in without realizing
that you stood In the pretence of a
real man, a thorough-going human be
ing, too sensible to be deceived by the
shows of things, or to have his head
Jurned by any jpf the "excellent fop
peries of the world."
Through the ''royal' blood, Henry was
as democratic In his ways as the hum

king he was ever ready to meet the
poorest of his subjects half way. He
