Decay of Dramatic Life.

The following letters appeared in the London Chornicle answering Miss Ara belle Kenealy's Lament Over the Decay l Of the Home:
 There are too many women who posi- lively delight in being household drudges. It is a kind of martyrdom which saves quite a large expenditure of thought. The world would be poorer today without the presence of married ladies such as Mrs. Besant. Mrs. Fawcett, Lady Henry Somerset the Countess of Warwick and many others. The intellectual arena was never meant for one sex alone.
 ''Women of the present day have had their intelligence so far awakened that they feel they have no occasion to mar ry man simply to become his cook and housekeeper while they have brains enough to earn a better wage with inde- pendence, and very few men pick out their wives for their domestic attributes.
 For a married woman, at least during the years of child bearing and rearing, to profess any other calling in life and to prefer the duties of 1t to her home duties, Is both a social crime and sub version of the moral order. Let a woman choose as she pleases between the pleas ures and duties of a wife and mother and. those of profession; but by en- deavoring to combine the two she injures herself and her offspring, loses her value to the nation and the world at large and does the most grievous injustice to her sex.
 '"The advocates of womans rights often take pains to prove that they are not lacking in domestic virtues. They can cook they tell us; their children are not neglected; but 1t is a great mistake to suppose that the thing that makes a home delightful Is the perfect management of | household matters alone I know a wo- man who is a perfect cook, her dinners are all that could be desired and her house is always exquisitely neat. Never children do not love her. He femininity Is only in her fingers; she has no domes- tic tenderness.
 Girls today-and thousands of mature women also-half kill themselves with pleasures (which they call social duties) and then make a bid for sympathy and ] the rest cure.' Girls neglect to fill the sugar basin and the tea caddy after breakfast because the morning paper which used to be dads special property is lying there with it's demoralizing magazine page and serial'
