HOUSEHOLD TIPS FEMININE PATRIOTISM DISCUSSED - GOOD FORM READERS7 LETTERS
WOMEN OP THE NATION
ARE WABBLING SAYS M'LISS
Fighting Their Instincts, Which Are Opposed to
Sending Men to the Battlefield
to Be Killed
SEEN IN THE SHOPS
'"yCSTCtlDAY," said it matt In tho
i subway, "my wlto chid tno borcuiHo
I expressed jubilation nt tlic fact that tho
country was dually showing signs of not
belli? too proud to fight.
" 'All men love advriituro better than
thoy do tholr wives and children,' nho told
me. 'They delude themselves Into think
ing It's patriotism; hut It's In reality tho
spirit oC tho chase and the lust for hlood
which actuated tho primitive man, mid
Which centuries of civilization havo not
succeeded In hilling. You'ro simply
dying for that sort of n. fracas!
"I didn't say anything and sho trans,
lnted my sllcnco Into nctitiloircnrc with
her views. This morning on awakening
ho told me that she'd been pondering on
our talk of yesterday and that I I, mind
you, who had not uttered it word! had
tho wrong Idea, and that she would ho
very much ashamed of mo If nil the other
nble-boilleil men of the country wont
marching Into Mexico and I lingered bo
hind a coward!
"Can you boat It?"
I think tho same sort of situation ns
this man humorously descrlhcd exists
in almost evciy household today. Tho
women, it cannot bo denied, ate wabbling.
They aro torn between their desho to
tako what tho world regards as tho Iilcli,
unselfish attitude (tho stories of tho sac
rifices made smilingly by tho French nnd
German mothcis still ringing in their
ears) and their desiro to hold back their
husbands and sons.
War has always been tho heir voir of
women. They aro tho great cunservers
of tho race, and since thoy have been ac
cused and rightly, -too of looking at
everything through spectacles maikcd
"personal," they haven't tho bieadth of
vision to sco that war Is often ImporatlVH
for conservation, paradoxical its it may
seem.
With tho men of tho country bandying
about such frightful woids ns "enlist
ment," "bloodshed" and "war," tho womon
aro breathless with fear and Indecision.
It doesn't matter that It Is only Mexico,
a country looked upon in tho minds of
many as easy meat for Undo Sam To n
woman war is war, and though only ono
man out of every thousand may bo killed
or wounded, It Is the woman natuie to
Imagine that that man will bo her man.
Ono of tho most Intcicstlng lutteis In
my mailbox thli morning Is from otto" of
those Women who a)o trying to make up
their niltidi now so us to bo ubte to tflllp
tho right altitude should a crlili coino,
My dear M'Mss, It toads, t turn lo
you in idy hour of stress for advico.
To whom does a nun owo his llrst
duly- to lib wifo und family or to his
country? Sty gotd husband says he
fceli It bin duty to tcspoild should
President Wilson call for Volunteero,
1 told him ho should feel that ho
should plotect his family by staying
at homo. Ho answered that only by
protecting his country could he snfO"
guard hlB borne and family, nnd that
ho felt that In llmo of stress the tut
tlon should come llrst, became tho
men of a nation who did not spring
to nnn at lis call had no cause to
complain If Invaders violate tho
homes.
Wo decided to ask your ndvlce on
this matter nnd to hWde by your de
cision as to whether my hu-dwiid
shall enlist or not. The samu ter
rible situation confronts other wives,
I know.
msTuimnn atrmtrcn.
Thank you for your faith In my Judg
ment, but tho problem you arc facing Is
scarcely one for an outsider to decide.
Apart from this consideration, however,
you forco me to the confession that I, loo,
am ono of the wobblers.
On tho surface all my Instincts aio for
a wild and enthusiastic wnlng of tlio
ling. I think tho honor of the country
should ho upheld with the blood and fives
of Its cltlrens If necessary, hut should
the men of my own family bo called upon
to servo on a bloody field of hnttlo I
ennnot but honestly write that iny pa
trlollsln would stand In danger of n
shameful dissolution.
Hy all lecognlzed standards your hus
band's attitude Is the right one. T should
havo no unnecessary fiuahns at thl'i time,
though. Surely there will be hundieds of
thousands of unmarried men lendy to
rally to tho country's need. Doubtless
there will bo trouble holding them all
back. So far as ,000 can judge, almost
every man Is champing his bit to get Into
action soma of them tliiough motives of
patriotism beyond tho shadow of a doubt,
but quite as many, 1 am sure, because the
call of tho wild Is upon them.
