Topics of Interest to Every Woman
EDITED BY JULIA CHANDLER MANI
PRE-NUPTIAL CONTRACT is
AN AFFRONT TO SOCIETY
Couple Enters Into an Agreement Which Ignores
the Moral Code of Society, Ruthlessly Shat
tering Sacred Traditions of Marriage.

moral code of the civilized race is based
on divine laws. 80 that the attempt of
two atoms Of humanity to contravene It
makes them ridiculous and pitiable-
ridiculous because of their arrogance and
pitiable because of the inevitable conse-
quence to themselves which they invite.
Contract Contradictory.
The terms Of this sensational marriage
contract are so absurd in their contra
dictions. SO evidently the product of abb
normal minds, that only the fact OF the
existence of such an agreement furnishes
food for comment.
That a young man fresh from college,
and a girl who is just entering upon
life's real journey, should enmesh the
prospects of their future happiness and
well-bsing In 50 unsavory a beginning
can do nothing less than create wonder.
particularly in the minds Of mothers OF
grown sons and daughters.
II is impossible not to conjecture con-
Corning the early influences and environ
ments which have governed a young man
and young woman who will ruthlessly
shatter all the beauty of the greatest
event in their lives, substituting for its
sscredness a code which all decent So
ciety will assist in making their social
undoing
Every little while the newspapers tell
us of some man and woman who believe
themselves sufficiently firm in their ideas
to defy the laws Of both God and man
ana make a life for themselves accord
ing to their own perverted ideas. Then
in a little while we read of them again.
Stunned by respectable folk; ostracized
by society; living the life they have
chosen. apart from their fellows; miser-
ably fighting the whole world OF public
opinion.
End of Their Story.
Then again. in another little while. the
story OF their misery leaks into print.
We are told that they have become
swamped in the sea of their own AFRO
gance, and have found themselves quite
insufficient TO stand alone with al the
world against them: that they have found
the thing they called love a poor substi-
tute for the honor and respect of their
fellowhuman beings. and are asking for
the crumbs of friendship from the tables
Of their one-time intimates.
Sometimes We give little shrug OF
disgust, but II we stop and think the
matter over a bit we are conscious of
a personal pride in the fact that We are
ia ctors in the social code which makes
the moral irregularities of those who defy
this code impossible for them to contin-
uously pursue.

That there is a vast difference be-
| tween liberty and license is demon
strated by a prenuptial contract signed
| one day last week by Miss Eeluise
Chandler, the twenty-one-year-old
daughter OF Julia Davis Chandler. the
Philadelphia writer, and Carlton W.
washburn. of Pasadena, the twenty
three-year-old son of Marion Foster
| Washburn, author and lecturer.
The marriage contract which has
been made public throughout the
United States is shameless in charac-
| ter and an affront TO society since II
relieves the young people of any moral
responsibility to each other or to So
ciety at large.
The terms of the contract declare
that neither party to the marriage
shall be bound by said marriage as far
as their relationship with the rest of
society is concerned; that 1t shall not
constitute a bond giving either any
control over or possession OF the other,
nor be a bar to other marriages should
this one prove unhappy or unfruitful;
that 1t shall in no way restrain either
party from mourning other parental
responsibility should they SO desire;
that the tie which binds them shall be
broken Immediately after love dies

financial responsibility Of a possible
family shall be equally divided between
the man and the woman.
Duly Signed and Sealed.
The document was duly signed and
sealed. and the excuse for its existence
was declared to be for the happiness
of their children. and for the free in
accommodation of the parents with
the rest of society" the latter part of
which clause seems superfiuons since
society does not accept free inter-
communication with folk who ignore
the moral code by which it governs
the civilized race.
Young Washburn is another erratic
product of the University of Chicago,
an institution which has become re-

THE ACADEMY.
Madam n"

Three times previously has this play
been witnessed in Washington; twice
with the original company, headed by
Miss Dorothy Donnelly, and once by
stock. but there are many who have
not seen this play and should. II is
one that should probably be seen but
once. as there are many startling and
unexpected situations developed. and
on this account a repetition would not
be advisable.
The story is morbid and sordid. JAG
queline Floriot in an indiscreet mo-
ment leaves her home and infant son.
Later. realizing her act was caused by
infatuation. she returns and begs for
giveness, but is turned from the house
of her husband. After twenty years
in which she has sunk lower and lowe,
mentally and morally. she returns to
France in company with a notorious
blackmailer and crook. Laroque She
is now a slave to the drug habit, and.
while under its effects. she relates her
past to Laroque. He. in conjunction
with two attorneys of i'll repute. Peris-
sard and Merivel. decide TO blackmail
Jacqueline's husband. who is now the
president of the Court of Toulouse.
On finding out Leroque's plan she
tries to prevent him from carrying il
out. but. failing. kills him. On being
placed on trial she refuses to speak or
defend herself; the court then assigns,
unknown to either parties, her son,
now a rising yourg lawyer, to defend
her. So strong is his plea that the jury
releases her. After acquittal she dies
in her sons arms. ending a career
which covered all Of the best and most
of the worst OF life
Miss Eugene Blair is cast as Jacque-
line Floriot She plays this difficult part
with great finesse, as II is one that could
easily be ruined by poor acting. Herbert

part exceedingly well Harry Coleman
