WAGES FOR THE WIFE.
SoclOgist Suggests a Radical Departure
in Matrimony.

The only radical cure for the injustice
from which women have long suffered
is revolution in the imagiHatice con
science of society, writes a s0ciologist.
Perhaps that revolution will be brought
about in few hundred years, but in
the meantime i may suggest q practical
palliative, A precise cash value should
be placed upon the services OF every
woman who is wife, mother and a
household administrator. Every husband
ought to pay his wife q living wage in
addition 10 her food and clothing. the
amount Of this living wage ought to be
regulated by the husbands income. /
would pass a law compelling every hus-
band to allow his wife a certain proper
tion Of his income, not as q gift, but
AZ payment for work done. The wages
OF the wife would be absolutely her own.
to be used BY her as she pleases. In this
way she would be relieved from the
bondage of gratitude and the slavery OF
snbservience, The longer she lived with
a man the less dependent upon him she
would become. and if he ventured to
treat her with less than the respect
due from one partner to another she
would be able to withdraw into a posi-
ton Of greater freedom and less re-
sponsibility without being forced to face
the prospect of starvation at time of
life when her charms have ceased to
command price in the marriage mar.
ket.
II may be said that this sordid ar
rangement would destroy the romance
OF marriage, but the answer to that OBJ
lection Is the retoTt that if romance
can survive the existing conditions Of
marriage it can survive anything, What
we have to take preeaution ~ssinst Is
the decay of romance which sets in at
the critical period wnen love is passing
out Of idolatry into partnership There
is no doubt that perfect friendship IS /
the elimination Of perfect love, but /
human nature is nutable, ami the enl. |
mination Of love often never is attained |
Iii those cases where il is attained it |
win not be affected by the enforcement /
OF 4 minimum wage for the wife Where
