however agonized Il may be. Il comedies to

that the answer Of the ninety-one women Is
more characteristic Of advanced feminine sen
timent and especially Of American feeling.
than any other.
These facts prove the change that has come
over women's hearts in an age OF emancipa-
tion. and nowhere Is this change so marked
and great as I'm American women. The
American woman cannot be a blind. submits
sive. passion-driven animal. who will sacrifice
everything 10 her instructive love-herself. her
friends. even her lover
She places human rights before instincts.
Her conception OF love Is one In which reason
and Justice have their part Her changed con
ception OF love has made divorce a necessity.
Fundamental human rights are to her
perior to those Of state or society.
When the idea OF sacrifice 10 God IN mar
rage as well as I'm other things was losing its
strength. the idea OF sacrifice 10 humanity
gained IN force. and love became more civil
ICED and more disinterested. At the same time
there was born a sentiment OF quite another
kind. lndividualism developed with intensity
demanding the right OF every one TO control
or 10 renew his life. TO direct q according to
conscience.
These opposing sentiments the FIRST born OF
respect for others, the second Of respect for
oneself. which enter deeply into our morals
and manners, began 20 sap the bases of~indis-
soluble marriage.
One OF the FIRST symptoms IN France Of the
necessity OF divorce as a corollary OF marriage
was shown in the famous play OF Vnliers de
