WIVES AND BEATINGS
Wuniru Discus» the Amouut of Abuse
'their Hex Should Endure.
"How much beattug should a wife
bear before ahe made up her uilnd to
leave her husbaud?” was «me of the
main subject* discuss«“! to-day at the
womeu's conference of the lu-llis-
Nauie 8oclety In All Souls' Church, at
Madison avenue and (kith street. In
the opiulou of Mrs. Louis«* Seymour
Houghton, «“liter uf a religious news-
paper, tlie wife should submit rather
than leave her husband to be at the
mercy of bad lnriuence«i.
Mrs. Hougton said that, although
there were times in the present state
of sotiety when a divorce «eem«“i u«“-es-
sary. a higher and more lileal state
would make such a thing Impossible.
She calle«l attention to the stormy do

and tber«1 was a murmur of dissent.
One of those present asked If the
woman Injured by an intoxicate«! hus
band should remain with him. Mrs.
Houghton said that she had known
many noIde wives ami mothers whose
husbands had lieaten them every Satur
day night. 'Die speaker said that it
would be better for the family If the
injured wife had the grace and the
strength of mind. and. atvove all. the
lov«* for her husband, to hold to her
family relations.
Mrs. Elizabeth B. Grannis suggested
that such treatment of a wife on the
part of a husband was degrading to the
marriage relation. Mrs Houghton an
swered that one soul could not degrade
another without that soul’s consent.
She said that she had known In the
lower walks of life of husbands who
bad Ix-nten and lll treated their wives,
and that, after all. they had come
around all right; whereas. If the wives
had left their lorvls and masters, the
men might have gone Irretrievably to
the bad.
"What I wish to ask," said Mrs. Ar
thur Smith, "is. how long should a wife
submit to beating before she leav«*s her
husband ?”
"Mrs. Houghton. If I understand her
correctly," replie«! Mrs. Grannis, "sahl

Fatal Mistake.
A new member of Congress was very
anxious to get ui>on the good side of Su
perintendent Smith of the botanic gar
dens, so that some fiowers and potted
plants might be sent to his home. As
every on«- knows. Smith is a fine old
Scotchman, w ho worships the memory
of “Bobbie” Burns, and lias probably
the finest and most complete collection
of editions of Burns' works tn the
world.
When, therefore, the new meralier
went to Smith he resolved to say some
thing which would please the lover of
Burns. When he entered Smith's 11
brary lie looked with interest upon the
books.
"I always did love Jimmie Burns'
poems." remarked the new member. "I
never saw such a tine collection of hts
works. I think Jimmie Burns was
»
of the greatest men who ever lived."
At this point Mr. Smith could contain
himself no further. "•Jimmie’ Burns.'
he exclaimed, angrily. "Tommy W sb
