Man-Made Laws of New York

Little Or No Injustice Or Dis
elimination Against Mar
ried Women Under Laws
Formed in 1896.
By FLORENCE E. YoDER.

The married women of Washington
are well protected from a legal stand
point, have clearly defined rights, and
in only one instance have the worst of
il in law. Even that instance is con-
strUed by some TO be really a benefit"
This is the statement OF Miss Emma
Gillette. dean of the Washington College
of Law. and one OF the committee which.
in 1896 revised the laws pertaining to
married women in the District.
The recent decision of Justice Black
mar of New York against the woman
who, at the time of her separation from
her husband. claimed the savings from
the household funds which she had &C
cumulated to the amount of $500, has
aroused in New York a storm of dis
approval of the laws-"made for man
but not for woman
in New York the existing laws may
be entirely unfavorable. unjust and IN

that a committee comprising woman

women to be passed upon by Congress
Not only were these laws passed upon
favorably, but they were even added TO
and given a most fair Interpretation.
