Free-Love Alive Yet.

and some Of the members bound
over for trial ON charge of lewd.
ness. A few of the parties en-.
gagged in this sensual organization
were ashamed of the exposure ;
but others, and especially the wo-
men, "unhesitatingly avowed their
reputation of the legality of
marriage, aud the right of affini-
tive or attractional association"
This avowal, it seems to US, is to
be expected in all such cases.
Without it they sink at once into
merely the abandoned creatures
of the town. 1t is the moral veil
they would throw over their i'm
morality. In truth, if the pub
lie would only treat these "free-
lovers" in a sensible way, they
would create but little difficulty. |
Call them and their meeting pla-
ces by a proper name; denomi-
nate the latter houses of ill-fame,
and class the visitors accordingly,
and the social sentiment will soon
outcast both into q sphere of suit
able consistency. 1t is giving
them an Importance they do not,
merit to fancy even that such be-
