Madame for September has a num-
Der of interesting and valuable arti
! Giles, but the one that will attract the
most attention perhaps is an editorial
on divorce. On this subject it says:
What is needed is a public courage
and a quickened private conscience
that will electrify the walls of indif-
| ference and hammer down the bull
| warks of custom and dogmatism, which
surround the marriage question. Di-
vorce can be reached, regulated and
practically eliminated only through the
regulation of marriage. Divorce rep
reSentS effect, not cause. Public con-
science on this all-important subject
can not be awakened or trained by
law. 1t is a slow process, but time
and right will bring the result desired
and many of us will yet see the day
when the cry against divorce shall
have ceased, and when public opinion
has placed such proper restrictions
! upon marriage that the institution shall
have been rescued from the slough
of the present and made to fittingy
represent the highest instincts of hu-
| manity.
