The Family"
The author is the daughter of Hen
Try Clews. the banker, and wife OF
Congressman Herbert Parsons of
this city. She is doctor OF philoso-
ply, a Hartley House fellow. and was
for six years a lecturer in sociology
at Barnard College. The volume Just
issued consists of 10 lectures. It is a
comprehensive, painstaking history
of the family relations from ancient
times to the present day, and en-
braces a great mass of data concern
ing marriage among all civilized
peoples.
For the infelicities which beset
the institution OF matrimony today.
Mrs. Parsons offers remedies to be
applied before or after the nuptial
knot is tied. The ante-marriage
precaution she advises is a snpervis-
ion of the qualities of the would-be
contracting parties to the end that
their fitness for he connubial state
may be determined before the license
is granted.
She has much to say about trial or
time marriages. The trial marriage
as suggested by her is a union i'm
which the couple set time limit
upon the partnership, or fix a period
of probation. At the end OF such
period. if the relation is found to be
satisfactory it may be continued. If
for any OF the many reasons Mrs.
Parsons enumerates, the man and
wife deem il best to part, they may
do so by mutual agreement, without
the Intervention Of the courts. The
author favors, also the removal of
legal restraint upon either the man
or woman so divorced from marry
ing again. New York World.
