REBUKES YOUNG
SOCIETY MATRONs,
Minister Says Married Women Ap-
pear Too Often Without
Their Husbands.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPCBl1iG SPECIAL
New York, Oct 1.-THE Reverend Brad
din Hamilton. who breaches to fashionable
audiences in Newport, has pronounced
views on what he calls the errors of So
ciety. and in an article published In the
Smart Set says:
1T has become very common among the
younger married people to be seen In public
with persons other than their own life part
ners. In fact there is many a married
woman who thinks it is not the smart thing
to be seen on parade with her own husband.
Another reprehensibIe custom that ap-
pears to exist to some degree is that OF
married men sending flowers to other men 8
wives. Another idea that has of late years
crept into society is the idea Of the male
private secretary for women.
'"The recent tragic death Of young wom-
an OF good family, alone In her boudoir.
with no one within reach but one of those
male private secretaries. was an incident
that ought to move even hearts Of stone to
pity. II was an incident that revealed to
this community a condition Of things In an
apparently model home which was pitiable
beyond any language to express.
"The chronic beaux and societys middle
aged bachelors are no good generally. All
they seem to possess are a badly battered
physique. poor clothing and strong thirst.
In conclusion, the greatest need Of society
at the present time is better leadership
that of men and women who are capable of
suggesting societys amusements; men and
women of education, culture and refine
ment, who have brains enough to think out
results and sufficient force Of character to
stand by their ideas
