Workhouse Blues 4
A NeW aspect of the devilish cruelty of the Victorians was revealed in a piece I read in the papers, writes Nat Gubbins in the "Sunday Express.
It seems that the Victorians while forbidding nixed bathing conceived the idea of. mixed work-houses. That is to say, they allowed the sexes to mix freely only when they were too aid to bother about sex or too poor to protest against their fate.
Their smug excuse was that the society of ald women would comfort old men in their declining years, though according to Mrs. U'Estrange Malone, vice-chairman. of the Public Assistance Committee of the L.C: C., the Jld men are much happier without them.
Anybody with the most elementary know-edge of human psychology would have known his from the start.
In the long war between men and women nen lose interest first, They have lost the sattle, as they always must, and when they are too old: to fight they like to be left alone to lick their wounds, But now that the L.C.C., in its infinite mercy, yas separated the sexes one cannot help feeling worry for the old women.
It is natural to them to go on fighting stüb they die. If they have no old men to plague and bully and chase around the institution they will turn and rend each other.
