By KATE WALLER BARRETT.

The Woman OF Today is trying to
live her true life in spite OF the
many difficulties which are in the way
of her doing so. She is able to use
the few instruments she has more
effectively than did her predecessors
and consequently she has made sig
nal progress.
From this very development Of
women will come a different standard
of morals for tomorrow. There Will
be less pretense. less hypocrisy.
Women are getting terribly tired OF
trying to live up to the role pre-
pared for them in the days Of knight
Errantry.
Men have long since laid aside the
trappings and the language OF the
knight, except for an occasional Don
Quixote, who is the laughing stock
of the community, but they still ex-
pect women to occupy the same at
titude as in the olden days. Be
cause men have expected this. wom-
en- have tried to pretend to do 1t,
5ut the time has come when she
sees the folly and sin Of this con-
slant attitude of deceit.
Through With Pretense.
Because she sees the evil effect
upon her own sex, as well as upon
men. and that the much vaunted in
direct methods for reaching their
end il often the direct method for
the disintegration of character and
the lowering Of morals. Thinking
women are through with the pre-
tense.
The price of posing as the cling
ing vine when they are able to
stand alone has affected both the
vine and the tree to which it Is sup
posed to cling.
Both sexes are demanding a truer
and more natural attitude toward
each other, and if either sex is to
reach its highest goal, this must
come.
There is a growing cleavage be-
tween classes of women. The one
grade is more anxious to get mar
ried, to shirk responsibility. and to
get rid Of burdens than they have
ever been
On the other hand, there is
growing number Of women who are
not seeking matrimony, but self
development.
Marriage As Growing Beauty.
When marriage comes to them, it
will be as the crowning beauty OF
life and they will be ready to take
their full share OF the responsibilities
as we'll as the benefits OF the union.
They will be capable of doing their
own part toward making marriage
a success. and If. because o: any un-
toward accident, the man cannot
fulfil his part Of the contract, she
The Washington times., 1914-03-04

will be able to throw herself into
the breach and in some measure do
his part as well.
This type of women Will never
earn a dollar for the lazy. inefficient
/. man; but IL by illness or accident
he Is prevented from fulfilling the
duties which justly belong to him.
she will swap duties with him.
Until this idea mas been reached we
cannot expect a perfect state or
ONENESS in the marriage relation
Much Of the present-day morality
is pretense. False standards have
been established, apd t"ose who
apparently keep them are often no
better, and sometimes worse, than
those who break them While 1t IS
true that self-indulgence and an ex-
aggerated egotistical self-conscfous-
ness has made many guilty Of all
sorts of crimes against themselves
and socity, the number Is still larger
. of those who have been sacrificed on
the altar Of technical virtue and
= hollow shame.
Morality of the Future.
TIE "whited sepulchre" has had
its day and the morality of the fu-
ture will have less regard for ap-
pearances, and more regard for
realities.
There was never a time when 30
many women were ready to sacri-
flee everything for the eternal ver-
tiles" This intelligent sacrifice
will bring its return In q healthy.
vigorous moral tone. q
The family will always be the
Unit of society, but it must be
family in all that the family was
intended to represent, and not job
lot of individuals grouped together
under one roof and bearing the
same name.
The recognition of the prevalence
of the type of family is shown by
. the common saying that 'God gives
US our relations, but. thank God, He
leaves us free to select our own
friends"
In that happy tomorrow blood will
be thicker than water because II
will be a right kind Of blood, and.
instead of the present sentence in
the marriage service we will read:
Those whom God has joined
together, NO man can put
asunder."
We would not be misunderstood
as approving of any of the unholy
makeshiftS-- which have been offered
for some of the present day evils.
The remedies offered are worse than
the disease. Free love, divorce. af-
finities, and the evils which follow
in their wake. are much worse than
anything which we have now. But
we must not be afraid to recognize
