Jessie ]. Cassidys little book-"The Legal Status
of Women"-is creating quite a sensation. Some
OF the laws In which women particularly inter.
esed are decidedly queer. In Idaho there is no
provision for compelling the husband to furnish
support for the wife On the contrary. II he Is In
firm. his wife must support him. In Nebraska the
husband is expected to furnish suitable main
tenance according 10 his idea Of liability" II
his idea Is haZy. provision Is made for that. In
New-MeXco nothing specific is required! Neva ia
requires the husban nd to furnish only the neces-
saries"s If his wife happens to be of a luxurious
frame of mind she vril have to furnish her own
luxures The law does not prohibit this. In Ar
kansas mo support for the wife Is compelled by
law unless she secures a divorce"
