1.-The reason so many are failures now
is because necessity compels them to la
Dor along diStaSteful lines, into which
circumstance has thrown them.
Everything then, will be perfected,

the result of advanced thought, not ac-

Mrs. Heron paused, but [ ventured no
interruption. She was splendid in her
perfect faith in the professors beliefs.
Most marriages. are4the- result of acct
dents of circumstanceS-Of necessity, And
| how long can such marriage last and be
real? How long can marriages not based
upon perfect love and understanding
last and be a credit to those who enter
into them? They should never have been
begun, but under the present social and
economic system marriages must con-
tinue on other bases than love. Can the
people contracting or continuing such
marriages be honest? Can they live up
to the truth there is in them?'
would you advise people to separate
who have ceased to love each other?''
''I certainly would advise them against
living together as man and wife,
rs love the only thing in the world?''
1T is the basis of all good"
What about the children of parents
who would separate because they ceased
to love?"
They would remain with their moth
ers. of course"
Who would support them?,
why, the common fund would provide
for every one, according to their needs
Women would contribute to it and draw
from it. And it is this, and this alone.
that will emancipate women and make
them the equals of men,
WOMEN EQUALS OF MEN.
when their dependence upon men for
fewer marriages for convenience, and
women will no longer need to sacrifice
their morality by living with men they
have ceased to love, Just because they
have no way to earn their own living"
What else will it do for women?'
Why give them equal rights of every
kind"
''Vote?"
"Certainly''
And hold office?''
''If they choose"
Should your
mo. ] have no taste for that sort of
thing. But there are women who have.
Not all women are fitted for office, nor
are all of them fitted to be mothers.
Their sphere is just as varied as the
spheres of men. When absolute liberty
prevails all men and women will find
their own sphere in work, thereby at
tanning the best results, and their affin-
tiles in love, thereby being able to live
complete life, and realize their high
est ideals by reason of perfect congen-
iality."
1T has very ideal ring to it, Mrs
Heron + al
we are very practical and very human,
and it takes ideal people to fulfill
ideals?''
Mrs. Heron smiled patiently.
Your objection is not new" she said;
Indeed, | hear it so often I wonder at
people There is nothing in the world
that will lift people out of a slough 50
quickly as aiming after a great ideal.
1t is not that people create ideals, but
that ideals create ideal people and make
them progress toward higher things. We
have builded too long on the belief in the
meanness of human nature. The social
and political and spiritual institutions Of
today prove our lack of faith in the
good. Put a pint man in a quart cup
and you will find him making every eff
fort to fill his measure. Every one comes
ion society has Of him. The only laws,
social or otherwise, than can endure are
those that are built upon faith in the
good in human nature And I am a
great believer in that good. There is
good in everything and everybody, and
the wrong that is results from the per-
verting of the good by bad and I'M
natural conditions. Do I make myself
clear?"
You do, Mrs. Heron; as a remarkably
sincere and earnest woman, viewing the
world through the optimistic specs of
Loves Young Dream, long to make
every one in it as happy as yourself, fix
your eye on the highest star in your
heaven"
