Ever since the world began some
wives have been the making of their
husbands and some other wives the
ruin Of theirs. Also there have been
some philosophers to see in the mar
riage institution the highest good Of
life and some cynics to condemn all
marriage. 1t is from different point
Of view than these that Cloudesley
Brereton approaches the ever new
subject in the columns Of the London
Times. He has convinced himself by
what he considers to be an 1nduct1ve
process that marriage in the present
day Is a serious handicap to men, and
he draws the conclusion that If women
don't cease making it a handicap the
bankruptcy of marriage and the con"
sequent end of all things social ig In
immediate sight To begin with, Mr..
'Brereton describes to us "the 1ncreas-
ing exigencles Of the modern married
women" That means the wife Is en-
larging her demands on her husbands
time. energy and money. She spends
too much, because she wants to start
in life where her parents left of, and
nothing we know can Withstand the
opportunities Of the woman with a
purpose" Then, "even If honest John
has been all day between tho shafts,
he must DO brldled and saddled for the
evening, and often for the afternoon
as well" In otherwords, he must go
to parties and balls. By and by he gets
pneumonia, "and his wife's vanity and
selflshness were largely responsible for
the simple complaint carrying him
off," 1t would seem as though that
were the end Of the husband. Yet Mr..
Brereton in his next sentence an
nounces: ''But the impost that the
Benedict Of to-day must carry does
not end there" We expect to be taken
to the neither world, but we are wrong.
Mr.. Brereton simply moves onward to
the woes Of husbands in lower
social classes. We are shown how
hard it Is for the assistant secondary
MASTER or for the "shop assistant
to get job If he has wife, and how
impossible it Is for a laboring man
with a large family to find home
and livelihood. Clearly this 10 all the
woman's fault. Even a masculine dec,
laration of independence won't help,
for that would only hasten the ruin OF
society. Mr.. Brereton implies that he
knows the. remedy, but he has not
space in his letter to tell. While we
are waiting for him it would be inter.
esting to hear from Mrs. Brereton-if
there be one-or, at any rate, from a
| feminine Coludesley.

Motherhood and art have different
ideals, but they may become allies to
overthrow the dull monster, common
sense. The architect VINO designed the
restoration of the Protestant Church
at Speyer, capital Of the Rhine Pala-
innate, planned a chancel window with
seven angel heads, which should be
portraits of the Emperor's children,
each at the age of four. The Emperor
objected, like any other mere man,
that his children are not angels. But
the Empress was pleased with the
idea, and leagued herself with the art
list, and of course the Emperor gave
way to the mother.

1t is not true that the human race
has undergone physical degeneration
since the dawn of history or during the
thousands of unrecorded years which
have elapsed since its appearance on
this earth. The idea that in their ply
steal characteristics our forefathers
were superior to ourselves is due to
the inveterate tendency Of the human
mind to idealize the past and to assume
that everything was better than 1t is
now in the good old days, and it is no
more justified in this particular respect
than it Is in any other. There were
giants in those days just as there are
giants now, a few Of them, individuals
whose abnormal development is the re-
suit Of a disease which morbid path
ology has recognized and classified,
but that there ever was a race of
giants there Is no reason whatever to
SUPPOSE.
