sThe Passing Of Matrimony' Is the theme
OF an article in the June Bdzdr in which
old arguments are answered with new
solutions and new ideas advanced oon-
corning the somewhat alarming disin-
clination Of women for marital conditions.
The scornful pity which used to be given
to the "old maid has been metamorphosed
into alarmed consideration Of the "ba chelor
maid The crux Of the argument seems
to be that while all human creatures
must do human work "all women are no
more contented as house servants and
keepers thar all men would be- So long
an matrimony continues TO require Of the
woman not only the owe Of the wife, the
function Of the mother. but the trade Of
domestic service, educated intelligent
women experienced in business or pro-
f~essions resent the demand, refuse the
conditions or fret under them when ao-
copied. A more dignihed satisfying matri-
mony with the comforts Of a home without
imprisonment and drugery seems to be
the demand Of the modern woman.
sThe Shock Of Battle by Patrick Vaux,
which Is among the Putnam spring publi-
cations, is a story based upon an imaginary
war between Great Britain and Germany.
1t gives startling account Of the horrors
OF modern warfare. The ghastly scenes on
board one Of the new naval fighting ma

Of modern war, are powerful arguments
for peace among the nations-and this is
