Qualities of Wifeehip.
Thus wrote Bobby Burns, whose
experience with women at least en
titles his opinion to consideration:
“The scale of good wifeship J di
vide into ten parts. Good nature,
four; good sense, two; wit, one; per
sonal charm—namely, sweet face,
eloquent eyes, fine limbs, graceful
carriage, all these one’; as for the
other qualities, such as fortune, con
nection and education more than the
ordinary run, family, blood, etc., di
vide the two remaining degrees as
you please.” '
The poet wrote that recipe for a
good wife some time after he was
married. I’d like to see a census of
the students in leading girl colleges
of America on this question of what
qualities a wife should possess.—
