For that reason I sentence | @ man to a certain number of lashes | and the number depends upon the | lextent of cruelty with which the | culprit treated his wife. I give them |as good as they send.” | | Miss Quinby believes that whip: | | ping and a lot of other old pun | ishments for the protection of women fell into disuse because women had no vote, Now that enfranchisement jis near she thinks these old laws will be revived But has Miss Quimby connted on the possibility of men retaliat ing by reviving such punishments as the ducking stool for female scolds?
