Among the working classes life, of necessity, remains primitive; the law of the cave is still, with slight modification, the law of the slum.

But in upper and middle-class circles the man is now the woman's servant.
I remember being present while a mother of my acquaintance was instilling into the mind of her little son the advantages of being born a man.

A little girl cousin was about to spend a week with him.

It was impressed upon him that if she showed a liking for any of his toys, he was at once to give them up to her.
"But why, mamma ?" he demanded, evidently surprised.
"Because, my dear, you are a little man." Should she break them, he was not to smack her head or kick her--as his instinct might prompt him to do.

He was just to say: "Oh, it is of no consequence at all," and to look as if he meant it.
Doctor says she is not to be bothered.
She was always to choose the game--to have the biggest apple.
