to this move to make Chicago the

The association is very power

time she expects IL will have be-
come the official medium through
which American fashions can be
made to lead the world.
The same argument was en-
bodied in the speech OF H. w.
Gossard when he presented the
trophy to the association. He said
in part:
''It is foolish to say that Chi

you there is no prejudice against
Chicago or America that cannot

my greatest dream is to see

Noted Divorce Court Jurist.

Noted Divorce Court Jurfst.
Will woman's passionate strug-
gle for economic independents re-
suit I'm a general breakdown of
marriage and in the encroach-
ment OF love promiscuity?
Yes. Already the court rec
ords here and elsewhere have
shown this to be a marked and
disturbing tendency.
Women, especially those who
live in cities. are today more re-
sponsible, | am convinced, for
marital discord and divorce than
men.
As soon as a married woman is
In a position to make her own
livelihood, that moment trouble
comes into the home the hus-
band becomes a supernumery.
That has been my experience.
1t is profoundly interesting and
disturbing that their very indie
pendence of mans support, for
which the women OF today are so
hotly striving, should result in
this pronounced tendency to dis
rupt the home, instead of ce-
menting its bonds and terrifying
the marriage Institution, as the
feminist movement seeks to JUS
tify itself in argument

not find employment in the pro-
fessional or commercial world

kitchen and given a couch to

Portable room and the choice of
everything. Many wives are made
more arrogant, exacting and in
tolerant through financial indie
pendence than the husbands
whom they arraign for these very
faults. As bosses, wives have
shown themselves less consider
ate of their mates than the aver
age husband. When | say that
economic Independence seemingly
is resulting in undermining the
stability of the home l do not
mean to imply that married wom-
en- should remain idle. Work
they must. above all else, IL they
would check their share of re-
sponsibility in family than mans.
There must be inter-dependeuce
rather than mntual Independence.
The fact that the divorce evil
rests largely on a biological
foundation, as l have found in
my experience, MAKES IL all the
more imperative that woman
should cease being a pretty drone,
q useless ornament clamoring al
ways for satisfaction in every
pleasure impulse, as is the case
in the class from which most d.
yoree suits spring.
At the end of the day husband
and wife should be about equally
tired physically, IL harmony is
to prevail.
At present too many men are
forced to drive themselves to ex-
haustion to maintain idle wives
in luxury. They come home too
fatfgued to enter into the plans
of indolent wives whose only
activity Is pleasure. This latter
resent the apparent indifference,
and diseord and jealousies bring
disaster.
