The Wife No Longer Dead in Law.
It certainly cannot be said that the
married woman is now "civilly dead"
for in the year 1900 there remained
but seven states in which married
women did not have control Of their
separate property and the right of
married women to make wills had
been extended throughout the United
States. The divorce laws have been
modified and are much less one-sided
than they wero when that little band
OF pioneers uttered their protest in
184S.
Guardianship Of Children.
South Carolina alono grants no di-

laws affecting the guardianship Of
children, while vastly improved, still

Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Nebraska Now York, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Washington, and the
District of Columbia alone make
mothers co-guardians on equal terms
with fathers. Mrs. Catherine Waugh

HE has created a false public
sentiment by giving the world q diff.
ferent code of morals for men and
women, by which moral Delinquent
cies which exclude women from so
ciety are not only tolerated but
deemed OF little account in man.
He has usurped the prerogative
OF Jehovah himself, claiming 1t as
his right to assign for her a sphere
OF action, when that belongs 10 her
conscience and to her God.

work in cotton factories, needle work,

gainful and reported that women
were engaged in all but two-the
ones including (a) soldiers, sailors.

Who can say just how much of this
phenomenal progress Is due to the ef-

have labored so unsel6shly in the
cause of woman's emancipation? Per-
haps the suffragist is disposed to
claim too much. Perhaps the "Anti"
