That's why these Society Shawl-Holders keep on making Love right and left but never come down to Cases." Another one gave her a learned Talk on the frivolity and Two-by-Fourness of the typical Seraphine. "You cannot expect a Man to hand over his serious Affections to one of these Feather-Heads," he said, as he gazed thoughtfully at the Floor. "Woman should be Man's Intellectual Helpmeet.
God may want you to be a leader in some vast continent, and you will want a companion and a counsellor a "helpmeet." The original word means "a help corresponding to his dignity" This is the meaning given by the best expositors. Oh, what wisdom there is even in the words which God has chosen to express His ideas! "Corresponding to his dignity!"
"It was because she had wished always to remain his ideal; to keep their love for one another to the end, untarnished; to be his true helpmeet in all things, that she had refused to marry him.
Man rides to battle, while his wife is busy in the kitchen; but difference of occupation does not prevent that community of inward life, that perfect esteem which causes him to say, "Whom God loves, to him gives he such a wife" And yet there is a still higher realm open before woman, because of her spiritual nature.

Put man and woman together on the primitive earth, and it is the man that has got to subdue it; the woman is what Scripture calls her, the helpmeet.
Her task was that of the eternal woman: to make a home: to cleanse the world of sin and sorrow, make it a kinder dwelling-place for the children that should come. This man was her true helpmeet. He would have been her weapon, her dear servant; and she could have rewarded him as none other ever could. The lamplight fell upon his ruddy face, his strong white hands resting on the flimsy table.
Instead of "doing" the bachelor's rooms in the building as her husband's helpmeet, she "does" her spouse, and a char- woman works for her. She is one of the drops in the tide that ebbs and flows on Twenty-third Street a discontented woman placed in a false position by our absurd customs. Go a little further up in the social scale and you will find the same "detached" feeling.
