When you find out at the end of Melville Davisson Post’s story, ‘“The Baron Stark- heim’’, you will admit that you have read one of the year’s most strikingly unusual pieces of fiction.

If one notes the needs or wi of man, it is to notice a constant relation between those needs or bins and man’s ideal of woman. The modern man will tell you with his hand on his heart that the making and keeping woman is the apple of his eye. But ‘twas not evere Search Holy Writ and it is the silent woman who is most extolled and eles “gift of God.” It happens that in those ancient of days men were given to the cs templative life. As the modern man looks outside himself for knowles the ancient man looked inside, and if he knew himself he thought that knew all there was to know, So it was that the chattering of women ie terfered with the more or less pious meditations of men and the ideal woes was constructed with this need of man in plain sight. It happens that in modern life men have laboriously: built up the po and business world and the intrusion of woman distresses them more th they can say.

Some men are opposed to woman suffrage and they know exactly # and of such was the man who voted “no” in Colorado and explained s cinctly to his companion as they left the polling place: “Do you think te I am going to live in the house with a woman who might ask me to ey the tariff to her?
