Leacock, Stephen, 1869-1944

"Moonbeams from the Larger Lunacy"


On this last head I am disappointed. Personally I like
women a good deal fatter than most of you are, and better
looking. As I look around this gathering I see one or
two of you that are not so bad, but on the whole not
many. But my own strong personal predilection is and
remains in favour of a woman who can cook, mend clothes,
talk when I want her to, and give me the kind of admiration
to which I am accustomed.
Let me, however, say in conclusion that I am altogether
in sympathy with your movement to this extent. If you
ever DO get votes,--and the indications are that you will
(blast you),--I want your votes, and I want all of them.

IX.-Our Literary Bureau

in the New York Century. It leaped into such immediate
prominence that it had to be closed at once.]

We have lately been struck,--of course not dangerously,--by
a new idea.
