AMIABLE STUPIDITY IN WIFE
Once Clever Woman Was Doomed tc
Celibacy Unleu Clever Enough to
Act the Part of Fool.
Some years ago a smart London
marazine Invited 50 prominent men of
the day to declare their taste in wom
en and particularly whether they pre
ferret. clever or stupid wives.
And the 50 masculine nabobs, lit
erary, artistic. legal, commercial,
rushed eagerly into print on this most
delicate subject.
Forty-two of them, comments a Los
Angeles newspc.per woman, pro
nounced In favor of amiable stupidity,
especially in wives. Seven of them—
one v. as Max O’Rpll—balked the ques
tion and found charms on both sides.
And only one declared that he honest
ly preferred a clever woman, provided
Bhe did not think she was cleverer
than ho was.
And what happened? It just shows
the cussedness of the sex. Instead of
promptly cultivating amiable imbecil
ity and thus making the supply equal
to the demand every last female
among them decided that she would be
clever from henceforward. No com
mercial Instinct, you see!
And for a year or two things camo
to such a pass that a clever woman
was foredoomed to celibacy from the
outset unless she was clever enough
to act the fool. From the marriage
records one reasonably concludes that
a good many of them acted the fool.
But now? Why there never was
. uch a demand for clever women. Not
only are they considered absolutely
necessary in the various professions in
which intelligence is at a high premi
um, but men even want to marry’
them!
