NO LEGAL KNOWLEDGE.


A compulsory legal education law for
women was the suggestion of Harriet
A Keyser at a meeting of the Legisla-
tive league in the Tuxedo. Miss Keyser
deplored the ignorance Of women re-
garding their own standing. Men as
well as women she has found sadly
wanting in knowledge where wills are
concerned, and believed that natural In
dolence is at the bottom Of it, although
she admitted that everything about the
law is tiresome. One woman said the
lawyers did not know it all. She never
feels safe on a legal question until she
has consulted at least 12 members of
the bar.
Mrs. Lille Devereaux Blake, who pre-
sided, said that there are still 25 states
in which women have no right to their
own children. Illinois and Connecticut
have within year or so. been added
to those where the mother owns her
child. Mrs. Blake believed that the root
and groundwork Of woman's oppression
as It existed SO years and more age
was the eating of the historic apple by

has there been such Il downright, de-

force our issue to the front: and new
er before has the time been as ripe
for IL great forward move for the

to lag behind the advancing hosts in
other states, and to this end we
ought to have a large body of rep

every section of the State in order
that we may lay broad, wise plans
