Tlte aKxrliiftl-i ,io of Women.
From the London Satiiriltty Uoinnc.
One of the oddest tiling in thi strange
contradictions lifo f imrs in tlio (liiiromnnt
cont iumill v i:cnrrix;g Untwoe.u uiatnriat fnot
and inoriil re:ility. "I'hiug are r.ot vchnt
they ficcin," iu very truth; ami we
should seldom lie far ont if we
took rpjieurnucrs, ns the witches of
old used to nay their prayers, buck wards.
And foremost nmong theo contradictions are
certain circumstances touching the written
and the actual condition of the women of
Englnnd. 15y law a wife is nowhere. Ranked
with infants und idiots, sho is the property of
her husband; her rights are vested in him,
her very individuality is merged in his; of
herself, and disallowed by him, she can do
nothing either to defend or to maintain her
self; all of which is bad enough when the
marriage is a failure, and the home
falls asunder, and the wife has to bear the
brunt of two evils at once fetters on the one
hand aid want of protection on the other.
And yet what is the moral reality in the face
of this positive legal fact ? That nine times
out of ten the woman is the mistress and the
man walks in leading strings; that
the law assigns her as property, but society
grants her possession; and that she, being
more exclusive, more jealous, more arbi
trary, and narrower than he, is able to im
pose her own will and code on him, and to
make him accept her will unconditionally.
The man must be very hard or very sharp
whom a woman cannot sail round as she
chooses, and manipulate to any form she
takes a fancy for. She has but to adapt her
battery to the character of the citadel sur
face submission for the blustering, coaxing
for the soft-hearted, flattery for the vain,
deception for the obtuse and she gains the
day on her own terms.
Unfortunately for herself, she generally
gains it by something less than the rigid
truth; for though Merlin and Yivienne re
present an extreme cose, still the type is true,
if exaggerated, nature, which denied woman
strength, having made np for it by a double
share of subtlety. It all comes to the same
thing in the end; and that end is mastery.
The tummum bonum of life, the thing for
which all nations, all religions, all men have
Striven since the world began, that desire for
supremacy and mastership which is to human
history what iron is to the blood and lime to
the bones, is by no means a specially masoa
line characteristic, still less a specially mas
culine possession; albeit compassed by dif
ferent methods and exercised in different
ways, it is as much the central desire of
women as of men, and their tummum bonum
too, when they can attain it. And they do
attain it, in spite of Elackstone and the laws
touching and regarding the rights and condi
tion of baron and feme.
In nothing do women show their mastery
over men more than in the extent to
which they carry their exclusiveness. No
women in the world, not told off into castes,
are so exclusive as the English, none so
jealous of shoring their good things. It is
not in one thing, but in everything alike
dress, station, domestic happiness, the com
panionship of men; they would, if they could,
keep all they call distinctively their own,
rigidly to themselves; they would suffer no
longing eyes to look over their park palings,
still less allow another to share in their fruits
and flowers. As a rule it is not the man's
fault that the English home is so dull as it
generally is. It is the wife who prevents all
easy intercourse, all simple friendliness be
tween her husband and other men, and yet
more between her husband and other
women. It is she who bars the house
door, and forbids it to be opened
save with such pomp and ceremonial
as makes the opening a weariness to all
concerned. The very woman who, as a
spinster living with her sisters, is glad
to have a facile unceremonious society about
ber, as a wife sets her face decidedly against
that kind of familiarity which lets a person
feel at home in her house; and above all
she fears and dislikes a female friend who
admires her husband, though in the most in
nocent way, and who says so. The profound
moral skeptcism which has penetrated society
from end to end has eaten away feminine
trust with the rest; and even pure and vir
tuous women, incapable for their own ports
of anything like immorality, are not ashamed
to suspect their sisters of improper feelings
and naughty practices, and to think them
selves safe in their married homes just 1 in
proportion as they are isolated. Especially
are happy wives suspicious of those who have
made shipwreck of their own venture. Un
married women and contented wives may be,
if rarely, admitted into the heart of the
charmed circle if the husband is conspicu
ously indifferent to them; but an unhappy
wife is held to be a kind of pirate in disguise,
a rival who will steal away the husband's
affections if she can, and on whom it is more
than probable he will bestow them unasked.
Very few women have generosity enough
to befriend one of their own
sex when in matrimonial difficulties,; if
their friendship is to include their husband's.
Of all things most abhorrent to women we
may count duality, under any name, or
aspect. Only a man, and a masterful man,
could have written as Coleridge did about the
'two beloved women' in his "Day Dream,"
with Asra's eyelashes playing on his cheek
and Mary's hand upon his brow, Mary's lap
the pillow of the two lovers, and her head
leaning on the tree where the two names
were carved. This sharing of a man's affec
tion, though in widely different proportions
and in quite distinct spheres, is a thing no
woman could be found to praise, if even Bhe
enforced herself to endure it. It is not gene
rally seen, however, that women are as rigid
in their exclusion of mole friends from
their own hearts, most women having
set up a tame cat of their own some time or
other in their lives, though not liking tame
mice for their husbands. The fact is, a wife
in England claims to be her husband's all.
Bhe is not content to possess the whole, of
such love as rightfully belongs to a wife,
but she must also possess the whole of his
Bympathy, his interest, his admiration. Bhe
must be the only woman in the world to him;
and the rest of her sex must be neither as
man nor woman. Though sometimes poachers
s i jj - : : l i a. i if .. n.i
intruue iu bjjuo ui not euro, u is seiaom mai
even a sister an maintain her sisterly rights
and privileges when her brother has married;
and though we of ten see a man'helDincr to
support his wife's family, and even taking her
sister or mother to live with them, when the
same thing happens on the other side the
woman thinkB herself very hardly used, and
' almost invariably makes it a grievance. An
old couplet says truly enough, ,
Tonr son Is your son till lie gets him a wile,
Jour daughter's your own all the davs of her life.
It is only the man who is absorbed
by his new relations, by virtue of
the exolusiveness of women; by virtue of that
same exclusiveness the woman keeps her own
while she excludes his, and even if the hus
band objects in the beginning and wishes to
maintain his past and his associations in their
integrity, a vwy little Uct on her part can
fashion thir.gs in time to her own plans, and
briDg the most recalcitrant of spovmos to his
proper place as wheeler, not leader. There
is scarcely a husband of the good and domes
tic kind who docs not suft'er under the exclu
siveness of bis wife, aud whose life is not im
poverished bv her determination to be his
sole source of pleasure and interest. Some
times he is driven to subterfuge and decep
tion, and has to keerj up his independence at
the expense of his trnth; but for the moa
mart he rives in. and habit after awhile fits
the voke more easily to his neck.
The same feminine characteristic of love of
exclusiveness comes out in matters of dress.
One of the greatest proofs of friendship that
one woman can oemow ou anotuer is to give
her the pattern of some unhackneyed unpur
chasable article of dress; and the sine qua non
of local patronage is the undertaking, on the
milliner s part, not to make any other crown
or bonnet like my lady's. It is not the beauty
of the thing wnicn charms bo much as its ex
clusiveness; and this it is whioh leads to those
wonderful exaggerations of fashion wherewith
women love to mske themselves singular and
remarkable. For if they cannot have what
no one else has, at least they can have things
as no one else has them; which answers the
purpose as well, and supplements if it
does not supply. It is this same feeling
which separates mistress from maid so
far that vou seldom see any sense of
the community of sex. but only that of the
difference of station between them. A French
woman and her bonne are on a very much
nearer footing than the typical Englishwoman
and her maid; our national exclusiveness of
temper marking off the grades here sharply
and harshly, while in France and Italy and
even Germany we cannot say the same for
Spain or ItaBsia there is a much more catho
lic sentiment; and in America, of course, all
men and women are equal, save niggers, red
skins, and Chinamen. No doubt we are all
worms and miserable sinners before heaven,
and Christianity means love and equality.
catholicity and the sweetest humbleness; but
phrases are good for just so much as they are
worth in action, and things do not always fit
in with the words that describe them.
Christian equality gets Badly put about be
tween rent-roll and pedigree, and the
charity which thinketh no ill is seldom
so strong as the jealous exclusiveness
which cannot bear that any one should share,
however remotely, in the pleasure and affec
tion of one's own life. Fortunately for hu
manity we every now and then come across
certain large-hearted, generous women, who
care more for the great body of the human
family than they care for themselves, and who
find their own best happiness in increasing
the happiness of others. And n ith these are
no petty jealousies, no small suspicions, no
narrow exclusiveness; to them home is a
temple rather than a prison, and the domestic
hearth an altar, thoroughly sacred and holy,
but not an adytum whence all outside the
veil are to be excluded. No one wants the
house-door flung open to the street, and the
home turned into a lounging-place for a mob
of the idle and curious unattached to congre
gate at will; but this is very different from
the exclusiveness which most women feel and
cultivate as their right, and whioh has the
effect chiefly of boring their husbands beyond
measure, and of making domestio life an
inimitably dull affair to all concerned.
