C ' s- ■ ' ' •: ' w®-, . ■■- ?? » ••.. ' . ' - ' v P RIM A LUCE A Sketch A SKETCH of the activities of the Stevenson Literary Society would in nowise be complete without a remark or two about a serious discussion that arose among four of the astute gentlemen. Their subject was, or is, a grave and delicate subject, ancient and yet young, a subject conducive to songs and battles, smiles and tears, hope and despondency, pleasure and pain, the subject — WOMAN. It seems to have started in this way: Mr. Spencer O’Brian, with hair standing on ends like porcupine quills — perhaps he was suffering from the previous night’s experience — made a remark in particular about women in general. Mr. Guthrie Williford took issue with him. Mr. Clide Morris, who although young must have had a good deal of experience, sided with Mr. O’Brian; while Mr. Charlie Currin, contrary to expectations, brought aid to Mr. Williford. The discussion became so fierce that the participants, or at least three of them, failed to hear or heed the sound of the bell and did not attend Mr. Stone’s class in history. Mr. Stone was red with anger for this neglect of duty on their part until he heard the subject of the discussion and then he had compassion on them, and agreed that he would inflict no punishment but that he wanted them to state their views before the society. This they consented to do. As will be noticed, the debaters use ideas from Hesiod down. After the debate was over Mr. Stone said that he used to think that the Biblical story of Job was the greatest debate ever written, but that he had changed his mind. Mr. O’Brian I often tried in vain to find A simile for womankind — A simile, I mean, to fit ’em. In every circumstance to hit ’em. Through every beast and bird I went, I ransack’d every element; And, after peeping through all nature To find so whimsical a creature, A cloud presented to my view, And straight this parallel I drew : Clouds turn with every wind about, They keep us in suspense and doubt, Yet, oft perverse, like womankind, Are seen to scud against the wind. And are not women just the same? For who can tell at what they aim ?
