Women liked J. E. B. Stuart. 1t was
a grand thing to be the first officer in

Horace's Pyrrha, from hat to spurs.
When he rode singing and laughing
into little town, by river or seashore,
they flocked to meet him, young and
old, and touched his garments, and
begged his buttons, and kissed his
gloved hands, until he suggested that
his cheeks were available, and then
they kissed those. young and old alike.
They showered him with flowers also,
buried him under nosegays and par
lands, till he rode like old god Bac.

EASY DIVORCE FOR CHlLDLESS
Programme Advocated by Prcmi
nent English Writer and
Traveller.

Mrs. Alec Tweedie, English author
and traveller, who is visiting here,
says the Boston Post, believes the
marriage relationship should be more
easily dissolved between persons hav-
ing no children, and, in fact, that the
law should not hold such persons to-
gether at all against their wishes.
The children's welfare should be
the first considerations" says Mrs.
Tweedie, but otherwise l believe
greater freedom of divorce to be one
of the most vital parts of the freedom
for which woman is working.
I'VE consider that we have made a
wonderful advance in England by the
passing of our new divorce law,
which grants equal rights to women
in the matter of freeing themselves,
though the only grounds on which di-
vorce is granted are those of habitual
crimfnality, habitual drunkenness and
habitual insanity, and then not till a
period of years has elapsed.
81 think Finland has the best d.
vorce law of any country in the world.
they simply go to an official and sol
EMMY declare that they do not wish
TO continue their married life, signing
papers to that effect. Then if at the
end of year nothing can be brought
against their moral characters, they
go again before an official, repeat
their declaration, arrange by mutual
consent regarding the children, which
are generally divided between them,
their two incomes are put together
and as a rule one-third apportioned to
the wife, then they are both free and
can both marry again if they wish.
There is no newspaper publicity,
no trial even-nothing but little no.
tice stating that their marriage has
been anulled, and what counts quite
as much, there is no social stigma
attached. Moreover, if only one wants
TO be freed the same procedure holds,
save that two years declaration is
necessary instead of one.
Il don't see why the law should bind
two people who do not wish to be
bound, except when there are chill
dren. Their advent is what should
really make a marriage binding. But
they have every right to be consid-
cred before anything else is consid-
cred, and | believe that until they
are ten or twelve, or past unthinking
childhood, they are always happiest
with two parents, even if the parents
are not happy"

BASEBALL GAME IN CHINA
introduction of American Pastime of
Much Benefit, Says DR.. Charles
Eliot of Harvard.

Baseball the great American pas
time, is of far more benefit to the Chi
nese than anything which has been
introduced by social workers in that
country, according to statement
made by Dr. Charles w. Eliot of Har-
ward university. Doctor Eliot spoke
TO 100 Harvard students on his recent
trip to China and Japan, it being the
first time he has talked to Harvard
men since his return. He said that
heretofore the Chinese have been en-
tering into games of chance with much
enthusiasm, but that they are now ta-
king much interest in baseball, which
Doctor Eliot believes will gradually
win them away from gambling and
make better men of them. Doctor Eliot
spoke hopefully of China's future, ex-
planning that the extraordinary pa
tience and endurance of the race will
enable the Chinese to surmount all the
difficulties which now beset them and
finally win for them the place they de-
serve among the nations of the world.
He said in part: II believe that the
greatest good that is being done the
Chinese by the social workers in that
country is the introduction of base
ball. These people are taking great
interest in our national game, and it
will be of great benefit to them when
indulgence in the sport becomes wide
spread. Heretofore they have been
entering with enthusiasm into, tho
games of chance, but baseball will
gradually win them away from that
sort of thing and make better men OF
them The one depressing circum-
stance which has an evil effect on
their tendency to progress is the lax
relationship between the men and
women of that country. This I think
will improve as the years go by. The
greatest scourge of China is tubercu-
Iosis. The disease is far more preva-
