wives, do not become discouraged If
your hubby does not wear the usual
good natured expression after the
goth, for it will surely return with
the next hunting season; he will
have nothing so interesting to look
forward to until then.

THE ROLE OF WOMAN KIND IN
llFE'S PLAY.

Marriage of necessity means more 70
a woman than a man, If only for her
futile attempts to make Of it q career.
She is bound up in all her spiritual
progressions with processes Of physical
reorganization. Love in man may
change his relation TO society, Tut in
woman it changes the woman Tor
marriage and maternity are prone 10
lessen her physical charm, and in many
cases so incalacitates her as to render
an independent and self-supporting lie
an impossibilty.
All that we can expect Of eugenics
(Which deals with certainty only with
futures) is 10 find an absolute author
ity for making marriage more dii1cult,
or at least a matter Of more serious
considerat n. As soon as we recog-
nize that many OF the phases Of the
social evil are part Of our inefficient
social organization they should disap
pear through a more intelligent, indus
trial readjustment. In this hideous
business Of buying and selling 1t be-
comes important TO inquire not so
much who sells as who buys, and on
what compulsion. II is imperative
that society provide opportunity for
wider freedom Of choice, educatlye
processes and social centres. with the
consequent destruction Of what may be
termed loves grafters."
In regard 10 children, society should
either contrive that the wealth OF the
world necessary to the betterment Of
the species be used for those best fitted
for propagation and moral responsible
ties or their care must pass back into
the hands OF society al large. AS

TEACHING OF YOUTH A CHIEF
RESPONSIBILITY.

The new morality OF sex must be the
morality Of social consequences. We
are male and female for definite marked
periods Of life, but from beginning to
end we are members Of society. Our
chief responsibility appears TO be 10
teach youth the truths OF life and to
transmute the energies Of adolescence
into ethical study or creative art. That
certain high psychic states can be at
talned through spiritual exercises is a
fact as old as mind. To deliberately re-
direct such energy could regenerate the
world, for man, subduing the brute,
finds God.
Small and afar. as a spider climbs to
the sun,
The woman climbed up TO life by the
thread from her body spun.
And she marked through the leaf and
bloom Of life
How the changing patterns run
In the wills that blow across the world
A. the wind across the wheat,
And the opal bubbles Of love frothed up
And broke in slime at her feet.
But she braved the rending forces
And dared the Wills TO meet,
For the word was I'm her bosom
Ere ever life begun.
The will Of each 10 each in its kind
and the viii Of US all 10 one.

PERSONALITY OF PARENTHOOO
is NECESSARY.

This is Mrs. Austins nearest ap-
proach to the theory advanced by Ellen
Key. For Mrs. Austin, love is a force,
not only between man and woman, but
between parent and young. IL is the
catalyzer of the constituents of per-,
sonality. 1t plays an undeniable but
not clearly determined part in physical
yitalization. Almost any kind Of
parent is better than an institution for
very young children"
All the things that marriage ought
not to do for US may be gathered under
the one head Of not discrediting our
social value. II is here that we reach
The question Of divorce. Particular at
tention is given this problem When.
ever unfaith. doubt or jealousy enter
into and begin 10 weaken the marriage
tie, Mrs. stin says it should at once
be matter for a marital welfare COM
mission. for, mixed with the grief OF
loss and the bitterness Of betrayal.
jealousy becomes the most rending OF
our tragedies. Her recognition for the
necessity for divorce is placed purely
on the grounds of inefficient mating.
There should be ease, simplicity pri-
vacy and no newspaper publicity.

SAYS. Ito refuse to sacrifice her per-
sonal achievement i'm order to secure

primary right, to infringe upon which
a woman should blush as much as TO
buy these things with her personal
favor, and in admitting the waste in
volved in the economic parasit.sm Of
women we open the way TO the sls-
picion Of social loss in forcing on every
man, irrespective of his native capac-
ity, the role Of provider. Let women
go on long enough in the way they are
pointing and the direct issue Of thei:
political right will be the recognition
of the personal rights of man.
The business of love is not just low
ing. and the business Of mate love is
to serve the race. The essential re.a-
lions of man and woman are not al
tered by sex relations, but owing to
the idea of woman's changed relation
to society by marriage she has become,
as it were, 'morganatically connected
with the world Of thought and indus

know what a man really is and fewer
men what a woman ought TO be-"

HER PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE PUT
INTO WORDS.

Having demolished the reactionary
Mrs Austin says these are the sort or
women who are doing the serious
thinking about marriage, and whose
thinking, so infinitely personal, VIII
eventually influence our marriage
modes. With irregular questionings
from Valda, who still beats her wings
against the Everlasting Why" the au-
thor builds up for her and us a steady
constructive philosophy of life through
the hope for those readjustments tow
ard which we grope to-day.
Claiming her right with James and
Bergson to think in terms of human
ity, she considers the facts and forces
of life entirely from the human point
OF view and treats them with the dig
nifty OF a great purpose. From the
period when man had his first reveal
ton of divinity through the discovery
of his own creative power to the
latest developments of the trilogy Of
art. Sex and Religion" she states
facts in easy, non-scientific fashion, oc-
casionally harshly, more often with
delicacy and poetic feeling. but always
clearly. Love is matter OF fact and
not altogether of opinion-an energiz-
ing force which serves God like all
other great natural forces-a force Of
which procreation is only one mani
festation and not absolutely the most
IMPERATIVE" Everywhere tracing its
definite pattern on the field Of human
history. she separates and defines its
many aspects;
Mate love, a force which may be
studied. its directions noted, its values
measured.

when women were mere property and

become thoroughly perverted.

Her going to Europe with the hope of

as we should live it and as we don't, FOR
which outlook humor is requisite. Add
to his the prophetic vision Of the poet
and a nature thoroughly keyed to the
profoundness OF life and we find in
this book a ringing call for racial bet
terment through readjusted Industrial
conditions; a study of love and mar
riage and their relation TO higher ethi-
cal standards, and plea for the sane
education of the young, with an appre-
ciative understanding Of their poetic
and religious tendency in adolescence,
for, says Mrs Austin. mo scientists,
not even Mr.. Darwin Though he tried
by deriving one from the other, can

The literary and historical value of
her collected work is so esteemed that
she has been offered the use Of the
library OF Leland Stanford University
by its president to enter the contest
for the Nobel Prize, for which this book
is to be entered.
During her studies of primitive and
animal life, becoming convinced that
their one constant quality was what
she terms mate love, she recognized in
this same quality the purpose Of soul
making in humans. From this basis,
with its psychic and physiological phe-
nomena, and some acquaintance with
evolution and biology she evolved the
title Of her latest book, using the word
soul maker to express the great cosmic
force working through nature to de-
velop the soul of man. Her habit OF
thinking in poetry and the fact that
parts Of this book were originally in
poetic form may explain the wonder of
the high note she has struck and sus-
tanned, despite the need for plain,
straight talk. She was still striving
for Just the imaginative element neces-
sary to remove it from the essay style,
when an incident occurred which
caused her to write at white heat,
weaving into the present form all the
phases Of her material, using the first
person as more direct and an easier
way to keep the personality Of the
IA.
