, -The Sketch
In th February nuinlier of the North
American lb-view .Mis. Aim-lla K. Hurr
write nil "Discontented Wulliell." ninl
Mrs. Mary A. Llvcrmore inns tin- iiios
tiuli: "iJoea the Ideul Husband 1st
Mrs. Huit Is a w ilier of sin ressrul
novels, that, ullhough nut distinctly
works of genius, ure still worthy of
their success; and Mrs. l.iveitnore Is
probably; the best public speaker among
the' advanced women of the country.
Their themes though hearing widely
different titles ure nevertheless closely
akin. Mrs. Hurr is u conservtitive, tuiil
she begins with the sliiieuienl that ills
content Is six thousand years old and
that it Is otenml. since "it Is In the
race." Hut she adds that It Is In a
special wuy a ohururtcrlstlo of women;
und she easily establishes the fact to
her own satisfaction by saying I hut
the feminine spirit of disc ontent was so
strong; in Kve that she could not be
Satlslleti in l'Meii and lost I'nradlse
through her listless Impatience. There
was u time, observes Ihe liiiffnlo Fn
iulrer, when a citation of the story of
KVe's ti'tnptatiiin was roiiidusive 111 a
controversy over feiiilnine perversity;
but It has gone by. You ran inn prove
anything against the new womaii by
a Hlur on ihe lniiilsilive lady in the
primitive gulden. To say thai dlscon
tent belongs In li II niii ill t y is philosophic,
beciiuse it is dourly the soiiree of llie
progress tif the raee; to say that it be
longs to women rather than nun Is
u statement so far against common ob
servation that it rciiilres proof: ami
ilia. Hurr offers none. She merely
points out certain rlasses of iliseonlent
ed woinen, w lib h is all easy device.
ine I'lass Is composed of women dis
contented with tlu lr home duties, one
heals a great deal on tills topie; and no
doubt there me women too lazy or
Shiftless to keep lliil.se, tind women
who. buying a faoiilt.v for other things,
are too busy to give Ihemselves over lo
the details of hrusekeoping; but we
venture to say there Is nothing that an
average woinii'i likes better thiui to
have a home, t keep It neut. to make it
Jifetty and to render life within it hap
py. The fnt that there are so many
other occupations In which they may
engage does not dim for women the
i harm of this homo-mulling uccupui ion.
i niter diseonteiiteil classes are the wo
men w ho are dissntlslii d with their
. husbands, always craving for' atten
tion, always taking olTense and nearly
nlwnys whining; the women who goad
their husbundsi to extravagance; the
Women who Hiicrlllee domestic comfort
to snclul uinlilt Ion : the women who are
too pious; and the working women who
want more wages Hum they can fairly
earn.
Hut of cours? Mis. Hurr Is severest on
the dlscoil tell ted wulliell. who walll to
take part In politics; und lief article
glides a wuy into a motherly an. I some
w hat prolix rebuke to udvocutes of un
man suffrage. She rehearses the usual
unruments ugainsl it. that convince a
fellow, while rvu.ltng llieni. a ml so InllK
as he remembers them, that suffrage
sought tu be granted. For Instance, she
itrgues, that If the women were to vote,
pl'lesls and preachers would Kuili undue
nVer. She ud-ls that women Hhoiild
not vote because if they helped to enact
ii law they could not liijlit to enforce it
ak If every voter was ohllKcd to turn
out und shoot his neighbor, to make
Kood his ballot. And she lays special
Kress on the theory that woman is a.
Kvveet. Inconseciueiithil creature of emo
tion and instinct, whose capacity for
l.uslnesB censes the moment she comes
tinder public observation: "Finally, wo
men caimt i?et behind or beyond their
nature, and their nature Is lo substitute
sentiment for reason a sweet mid not
unlovely characteristic in womanly
ways' and places; yet reason, on the
whole, is considered a desirable neces
si4 In politics. At the rhvim'o fulr.
ni at other convocations, it has been
proven thut the stronKest-iTiimled wo
men, thouih familiar with platforms,
hud deep In the dismal science' of po
litical economy, when It came to dis
puting, were ii'j more philosophical
than the simplest housewife. Tears

tnem. as If the whole world waiwd by
impulse only; yet a public meclinsr in
which the feellnir and tears superseded
season und aiKiimeut would in no event
Inspire cither conlidenco or respect."
Dues Mrs. llnrr Imnpine thnt wher
ever men meet together there Is ab
solute order, and that reason and ar
Kume!t are the only things to which
the masculine mind resorts'.' lid she
never hear of one cotmressiniin spitting
In another's face or one senator beatiiiK
another with a rune'.' Has she never
. listened to a jury trial and seen able
counsel appeal to every thing but facts
and reason for n verdict'.' 'e know of
a oaBe in which an eminent advocate,
flourishing a big iniiul. with which his
client had murdered Ills wife. In one
hand, and holding out the battered

And then he ve:t copiously. But it
does not follow, because there Is an oc
casional fluht In consress. or heoaus
a casual lawver lias a fit of hysterti a
onse In a while, that men are unlit for
deliberative assemblies or courts of Jus
tice. Mrs. Barr should join some bright
woman's club ami see how admirably
the girls can carry on business.
Mrs. I.ivermoie approached the ques
tion of the condition of women from a
different standpoint, anil opens the dls
1 usion with this sweeping denunciation :
"I ntll within a few years the world has
hi i'ii ruled by brute force. Kveiybody
has been welcome to whatever he could
win and hold by brawn and miistle.
There has been little 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 , 1 i 1 1 about
It. and the weaker have yieldtel to the
dominion of the ttli ui'-;er. as we, today,
ri-ssct the decision of the courts. The
history id woman through llnve ages is
painful reading-. Her physical weak
ness, and not nlmn her mental Infer
iority, has mailt her the subject of man.
Toiling patiently for him, asking little
for herself ami everything for him,

mother of his t nlblreii, she has been
bought and sold, netted and tortured,

owner, the victim t ry where of pillai'.e.
lust, war ami servitude. And this
stuteint'iit lnchnb s all races and peoples
of the earth fn.i.i the date i.r their his
toric existence." This is ci.nir.:li to take
the masculine ritnli- r's breath away. Il

not, are carefully picking out Ins faults,
