COUNSELS WOMEN TO WED
ONLY CERTIFIED HUSBANDS

New York.-Mary II. Austin. the
author' mas started an animated dis
cussion among club women of New
York by her startling statements al
a meeting of the Legislative league
at the Waldorf. The women members
of the league were still gasping at her
statements regarding marriage and
divorce. She also condoned a double
standard of morality.
AS the most important causes for
divorce she named the drug and drink
habits. She said she would not live
with husband who made her ask
for every SO cents she wanted.
She proposed these three ways in
which she believes the number of di-
vorces can be reduced.
Have sex psychology and "the bus
mess organization of marriage"
taught in schools.
Have more stringent marriage re-
strictions, including a commission to
investigate the forbears of candidates
for matrimony.
Have all divorce cases tried in pri-
vate.
1T is strange" she said, that men
and women have not learned how
much happiness depends upon busi-
nesslike system in the economies of
the home. You would think the fact
would be established that the setting
aside of a definite sum for the use
of the wife each week makes for hap
piness. Yet there are many young
people who marry without seeming to
realize that the economic dependence
of the wife Is an enormous factor in
the unhappiness of many marriages.

fore marrying 1 would advocate COM

and having more women than men.

boys should be able to rush off and

Wednesday and Thursday a most ex-

venture in two reels, taken from Will
kie Collins greatest novel, "The Wo-

sands who have counted the novel
among their favorites these two reels
will be a genuine treat. Those who
have not read the book will have no
trouble in getting the story. Full
justice has been done the wierd
quality of the story and its most
thrilling passages lose none of their
strength. Count Fosco's betrayal of
his friends, the ghostly appearance Of
the woman in white, the uncanny SUD-
stitution of the latter for Laura, the
meeting of Laura and Walter in the
cemetery and the death of Clyde in
a highly dramatic fire scene are all
faithfully and carefully portrayed.

A NIGHTMARE IN MARBLE
FOR OSCAR WILDE'S GRAVE

What the average person woult
consider to be the craziest monument
ever erected to the memory of a eel
ebrity marks the grave of Oscar Wilde
in Pere la Chaise Cemetery, Paris
Yet disciples of the most modern
school of sculpture, of which the great
Rodin is the acknowledged head, ac-
claim the work to be a masterpiece
of symbolism, free from any of the
trammels of art traditions. The sculp-
tor is Jacob Epstein, formerly of New
York City. He is a pupil Of Rodin
who says of him.
Epstein is a talented artist and
will make his mark"
For the last three months the art
world of Paris has been in an uproar
over the Wilde monument At one
stage opposition to it was so great
that the cemetery authorities caused
it to be hidden from view under a
tarpulin. Hearing of this Epstein
rushed over from London to cham
pion his insulted conception. At the
grave he met the Countess de Ber-
mont making her daily pilgrimage to
pray for the soul of the dead poet,
whose genius she had upheld inca pub
lished volume, and who had en-
gagged the young American sculptor
to furnish the monument.
Together they removed the tarpau-
lin, and they and their adherants in
the controversy have been able to
prevent its being replaced.
The strange, fantastic figure of
heroic size is in high relief upon one
side Of the upper Of two blocks Of
English marble, weighing more than
twenty tons. The sculptor says he re-
ceived his inspirations from Oscar
Wilde's story, de Profundis" Nei-
ther in whole nor in detail is there
anything shocking about the figure
The shock to Parisians is mainly with
respect to the art methods involved
and the lack Of beauty according to
long established canons.
The figure certainly is not beauti-
full, except, perhaps. according to the
aesthetic notions of ancient Egyp-
tians or Assyrans. There is a sug-
gestion of the Sphinx about the whole
treatment. though the style is really
Assyrian. The face is a sort Of por-
trait OF the departed genius. with
mysterious, sphinklike expression ad-
ded.
The conception represents the dead
poet as a nude. winged Assyrian
figure being driven through space by
an irresistible fate, really the force
OF his own genius. It is sheer voli-
