“Women Have No Character”
(Contimuid from page 1)
mopolitan, equally at home in the
White House or on the banks of
the Neva. She never plucks dai
sies and buttercups nowadays to
test her lover’s affection by pull
ing apart their petals. You find
her, instead, arrangng orchids in
a glass, and making cynical re
flections upon the worthlessness
of the entire race. Individual
love or hate in the opposite sex
is apparently all one to her.
One may assure himself with a
smile that this polished indiffer
ence, this superfluous knowledge
of the world, is a mere passing
attitude, assumed for purposes of
bewilderment, like the last new
humming bird costume of irides
cent gauze. But if he is wise he
will do his smiling in his sleeve,
or it will go very hard with him
indeed. For among the women
he meets emancipation is just now
in fashion. Sweet simplicity is
done for, and done away, with,
until its days comes ’round again.
Dark as the hour seems, the
dawn, perhaps, is therefore all the
nearer. Meanwhile the old fogy
may comfort himself by remem
bering how Marie Antoinette fled
from the Oeil de Boeuf to the
Trianon, and all her court fol
lowed after; and if, like Mr. Sap
sea, he thinks that one woman’s
life should be passed in “looking
up to him,’’ he may turn 'down
the leaf at Pope’s remark that
“most women have no character
at all,” and go quietly to sleep
with the conviction that the par
woman whom he fancies will, in
the end, discard all affections, one
after another, to discover and
adopt the character which suits
her best.
