VIII insist on privacy,
Marriage must be an equal part

Russell There must be federation
and there must be a splendid under
standing. | have told Mr. Moore that
| would insist upon having by own
undsturbed privacy, as have it now.
The trouble with many American mar.
riages, with their resulting unhappi.
ness, comes from familiarity that is
intolerablc to most women. Women
are naturally more sensitive than
men, and that is where European mar.
riagcs are so much more successful
than American marriages The for.
| eign men, called by many Americans
'brutes' have finer appreciation OF
womans delicaCy and her feelings
| They would not as | have known
many American husbands do, boldly
enter their wife's boudor without first
knocking and finding out if it were
| agreeable for her to be seen. No wO
man wants to be taken unawares and
the successful wife will never allow
her husband to see her unless she is
ready to be seen. Her privacy should
be as intact as wife as it is before
marriage. American men look upon
their rights as husbands TO have nc
bounds, and the result often is that
American wives feel the brutality OF
such reconsideration and there finally
begins to grow a reyulsiOn of feeling

| Both Have Abiding Faith.
| MIR. Moore and have to have faith
in each other, for his business and
my profession keep us apart. but even
SO we have what every two people
who really love have, and that is al
abiding faith in each other He knows
and | know, no matter how far apart
we are that all is well.
"Why, the other night at the Friars
| Club Weber-Fields dinner, | went
there with my sister unaccompanied
1t didn't occur to me to ring up one OF
twenty men who might have gone
with me, for now my whole woman
nature is wrapped in but one man
Other men do not seem necessary. Al
though | do not mean to imply by thai
that man and woman in love or mar
ried should renounce the world as il
were. BY no means-nO. Indeed
they should be so perfectly sure o
each other that they would be willing
to trust each other with anybody ant
under any circumstances. However
| couldn't think of man | wanted t
go With-and so | went alone will
my sister.
Before | loved Mr.. Moore, couldn'
have dreamed of going anywhere I'm
accompanied" Miss Russell added
smilingly.
