LADY STOUT AND THE MEN.
Lady Stout is always \ery interesting. Whether it is at a mothers' meeting, an afternoon tea, a suffragette revival, or a teetotal lecture, she generally has something original to say. During the week, while her respected help-mate has been dispensing justice at Palmerston North, Lady Stout has been talking to men in the same township about their responsibilities. "It was all very well," she said, "for a wife to be trained to high ideals in wifehood and motherhood; but what was to happen when she married a man who lived the life he choose?" This is a very tricky little ■question (says the' Wairarapa Age). When a girl of high ideals marries, she should be sure of her man. It is quite a new phase o fthe' marital relationship that when a man marries he should not lead the life he chooses. We might put Lady Stout's question in the converse: What would happen to a man with high ideals when he married a woman who lived the life she choose? Or, what would happen to the man if he led the life his wife choose for him? The problem is a knotty one, and is best left to individuals to solve for themselves.
