EQUALITY OF TREATMENT
TO THE' EhlTOn.
Sir,—"Equality of punishment for the srjme crime for either sex." II -women really want this, why don't they hold a, .meeting Eo demand that a woman who ill-treats her husband be dealt with like ■a. man who ill-treats his wife: that a woman who jilts her fiance be fined like j tbo man who acts similarly; that the i woman who seduces a boy be treated like ' the man who seduces a girl; and that n wife who leaves her husband be forced •to contribute to his sup'Txirt? T am no lawyer, but in actual life it is dear that ilrequently-the wind is not tempered to .the shorn lamb, but to the unshorn ■ .Delilah. Lady Stout and her friends avoid these facts, and evidently want to .run with the hare and hunt with the hounds. The truth is, of course, that men and women are created so utterly different from each other that they are .unable to conform to the same rules in ■all cases.—l am, etc., ANTI-CANT. 12th June.
