Wives and Husbands.
Woman's Patience.
A Few Wise Sayings.
And Others, Very Foolish.
?By ARTHUR BRISBANE?
<Copyrl(ht. 1922.)
This is about women?what
foolish men and a few wise
men have said about them.
Foolish things will come first,
Wise ones last, that foolish men
may be induced to read.
Ancient proverbs and "witty
Sayings" of conceited men have
devoted much attention to
woman's defects.
The farther back you go, the
more barbarous and ignorant
the people, the lower the idea
of woman. Mohammed kept
women from earth out of his
paradise?all except the rioh
widow he married. She insist
ed on going.
Asiatics believed thousands
of years ago, and still believe, (
that the worst thing for a man,
after death, is to be changed
into a woman. So it would be
in a country where children
twelve years old are married to
men of fifty, and young wid
ows burned alive with corpses
of their old husbands.
You can judge a man now
by his opinion of women?the
lower the opinion the lower the
man.
Monsieur Guyon described
himself well when he said:
"Hell is paved with woman's
tongue*."
Proverbs are supposed to rep
resent condensed wisdom. They
also represent condensed fool
ishness?for instance, this old
proverb:
"Before going to war >17 a
prayer; before going to tea lay
two prayers; before marrying
aay three prayers."
Alexander Pope, who wrote
the "Essay on Man" and other
things worth while, wrote fool
ishly about' women. Here are
two samples of his "wit:"
"Moat women have no charac
ter* at all?
Matter too soft a lasting mark
to bear."
And: - ?/.
**Think not, when woman'* tran
sient breath i* fled,
That all her vanities at once
are dead."
Pope's poor opinion of wom
en, as often happens, was
caused by his own deficiencies.
A queer, weak little creature,
he had to be sewed up by a
female servant each morning
in a canvas jacket, that he
might sit up straight. "Sour j
grapes" explains HIS view of ;
women.
Ludovico Ariosto, forgetting j
that without women there would 1
be no men, said:
"I think Nature and an angry
god produced thee to the world,
thou wicked *ex, to be a plague
to man."
More truth in this old prov
erb
"A woman and her ?ervant,
acting in accord, would outwit
? dozen devil*."
Abuse of women has not
been confined to men. Women
have taken a hand in it. Madame
de Stael wrote:
"I am glad I am not a man,
a* I *hould be obliged to marry
a woman."
Madame de Stael, however,
was not particularly feminine.
When Napoleon exiled lier and
was asked why he made war on
? woman, he answered: "She's
no woman; she's a man."
One old proverb says.
"He that hath a fair wife
?ever want* trouble."
And another:
"The man who ha* taken
?ne wife deierve* a crown of
patience; the man who ha*
taken two deierve* two crown*
?f folly."
A Frenchman wrote:
< "Woman among lavage* i* a
beait of burden; in Alia *he ii
? piece of furniture; in Europ*
ahe i* a spoiled child."
He might more intelligently
have written that womaA is, on
the surface, whatever man'i
brutality or stupidity forces hei
to be.
Below the surface, as every
one who reads history intelli
gently knows, she is the con
trolling, civilizing, progressive
force among human beings.
So much for proud man'a at
