Show Bobby Should Know! Supposing you had 10 points to award for the qualities that go to make a good wife. How would you distribute them? Bobby Burns, the Scottish poet, divided them in this wise. Four parts to good temper; two parts to-good to-good sense; one part to wit, and one part to beauty. The remaining remain-ing parts he divided amongst other qualities attending on a wife, such as fortune, connections, education, family, and several others. He came to the conclusion that none of these latter qualities was entitled to as much as one part. |
