WOULD END DIVORCE

Or. Mary Walker BIames Dress
and Tobacco for III-HeaIth
of Women.

Trial marriage as n remedy for the
divorce evil was advanced by Mary
Walker, lecturer and suffragist. in an
address at Raucher's last night. She
talked of hereditary ailments and said
dress had much 20 do with the ill-health
of women.
Women must educate man and thus
remove the beast from him. said DIR.
perior to their parents. Mari age with
its prospects is essential to the govern
ment, but at the same time ii is a lot
cry. You take chance, for In many
cases YOU know nothing of the health
of the man or woman whom you are
marrying. Divorce is as respectable as
marriage and should be so considered,
but with trial marriages there need be
no divorce.
Love is the most misused word In
the English language. 1t stands for
murder and suicide, when lust, not love,
Is really to blame. Parents should talk
sense to their offspring and bring them
up to work.
''Dress and the nse of tobacco have
done much to pull down the health OF
our women. The modern woman has to
go some to keep up with the fashions
She has to twist and turn her clothes
inside out, and her poor husband 8
pOcketbOok Is made to suffer at every
turn. Corsets and skirts are foolish,
and the day is coming when women will
wear clothes for what they are intend
ed and not to make the men look at
them. Women are beginning to think
on the subject Of .iress, and as progress
never takes q backward step. 1 have
bright hopes for the future OF my
