resembles so closely in many respects
those Of "Free Love-" and spiritual
Circles" that similar results need not
be astonishing. Nowadays In ''high-
life" it is highly improper for a lady to.
accompany her husband in a walk or
drive 10 church, theater, parties, or any
place Of amusement. She must have a
"gentleman friend" with whom to ado up
the agreeable,p in public, and gics oersa,
4he husband plays the same game with
some other mans wife, or some young
"lady friend" Under these circumstan-
Ices, we, in al eandOr, ask is ii strange
that parties should go beyond these limits

to the Continent and introduced her int,
u the most fashionable society. Mr.. Sick
