LADY STOUT AND THE MEN.

Lady Stout is always very interesting. Whether it is at a .mother's meeting, an afternoon tea, a suffragette revival, or a teetotal lecture, she generally has something original to say. During this 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 girl 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 chose?" This is a jrery. trieky little question. .When $

girl of high ideala marries, she should be euro of her man. It is quite a new phase of the 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 a man with high ideata when he married a woman who lived the life ehe chose P Or, what would happen the man if he led the life his wife chose for him? The problem is a knotty one, and is best left to individuals to solve for themselves.
