CECIL RHODES AND WOMEN
Mr. Gordon Le Sueur, in his volume "Cecil Rhodes : The Man and His Work," deals with the allegation that Rhodes was a woman-hater by quoting Rh'odes's own words: "Womon ! Of course, I don't hate women. I like thorn, but 1 don't want them always fussing about." Another time he said : "You may ask me why T never married, and do you know? I answer you very fairly, that I have never yet seen 'the woman whom I could get on in the same house with." Rhodes, 6ays Mr. Le Sueur, "tried to give the impression, of being without feeling, but nothing is more absurd. He was crammed with sentiment to his fingertips, but adopted a brutal manner and rough, exterior to cover up the weakness of sentiment, arid thus many a _ brokenhearted man and woman left him with the impression— entirely erroneous — that he was a callous brute lacking in human sympathy."
