(I:lla Wheeler Wilcox, in New York,
American.) , }\
They ware a little group of men and v
women sitting about a dinner table in ,
a lovely metropolitan home one night ,,
recently.
Four men and four women, all trav- ,
clcrs, readers and thinkers, and the ;l
arts, the professions, ft auce and so- |
cial experience and qualities were all r
represented in the coterie. n
They were discussing the ever old a
and always new subject of the. rcla-||t
t ions of the sexi sin domestic and so-J A
cial life, and the growing frequency < f
divorce and scandals in America. I ()
seemed to toe majority of the littigroup
that civilized society was degei
crating, but another recalled the Ho- s
man period, where women frequent > j
married ten husbands, and cited tin ?
case of one win), according to reliable y
history, married her twenty-third bus ,j
band, lie hunself having possessed
twenty-one wiv-s.
The dt-nene aey of the (ierman Court q
was referred lo as a sign of I lie deca- sl

wives had been compellc'l to bestow L|
upon the Emperor, and the cowed and ?
servile husbands listened and allowed
the monster to k'o forth alive from his a
banqueting hall. d
Surely the world has advanced since
that era, for no monarch could walk a

Whereupon, when an interval of of
