Chicago, H., March 22.--"Off will
the old love, on with the new"
This was the theme that held COZ
women spellbound for an hour yester

osity to know just, what might be the
quality and characteristics of this
new love" had swelled the attendance
far beyond that of the Drama circles
usual monthly tea. No men were adj
mitted.
What is the difference between the
new love and passion?" was the ques-
tion hurled like bomb at the speaker
sby Mrs. p Harry Hammer, who sat
midway in the crowd. but who rose
and pointed her finger as she put the
query,
s ssssyTlissacw love- said Miss Meadows.
"is free from sentimental rubbish and
romantic twaddle. 1t is the union OF
intellectual and economic freedom 1t
is deeper firmer and more abundant
than the old sentimental so-called
love. III II the man and the woman
are mated mentally, morally and
spiritually as well as physically.
THE new love implies fidelity ON
both sides. The old idea that mar
rled man must have his fling once In
while, that he need not be satisfied
with a Jog trot, but may take canter
once In while, has no place in the
new love. Woman no longer is will
ing to be the cahtering ground for a
man, even though he has a right to
take canter now and then.
when we see the new love revealed /,
as terrific force, we shall be glad to /
stand and offer no obstacle to its |
manifestations The new love will be !,
freer from man-made and woman
made laws.
"The new love is not an enslaver
of woman; it is her liberator. 1t can
not die; 1t can not be stilled; it can
not be killed; 1t laughs at death.
when the new love is understood
we shall be ready to rescind all cen
sorship laws and let truth come out,
for true love Is based on truth and
we are willing to let the truth come
out. Let us have the truth rampant.
"The usual courtship of woman by
man. said Miss Meadows in the
earlier part Of her address, has about
as much to do with love as has the
pusuit OF a spring chicken by a hawk.

Child labor is prohibited. school at

The employer must concede sufff-
