tJhe husband had, therefore, the
right to violate this duty by selling

Such was the law in 1912. But so
great has been the change in it and
the position of woman in the last
century that we find Judge Shearm
In the case Of Rev. Burton Howard
Lee mentioned above. saying only the
other day:
ut is claimed that father has a
paramount right to the custody of a
child. This was once the law, but we
have emerged from the dark ages,
during which married women had the
status OF slaves and chattels. The on
,ly basi, Of the fathers alleged supe-
rior right, today, is his obligation to
support his children. This basis dis
appears when one considers what
mother gives to her children in suf-
ferlng, self sacrificing and devotion.
On any admeasurcment Of rights de.
termined by service rendered, the
right Of a mother to the custody Of
chr children is at least equal to that
of the father. The real test should
he the welfare Of the child"
So the Rev. Burton Howard Lee
will have to stick to his bargain with
his wife, though in 1912 It would
not have been binding.
Thus women are gradually acquir-
irg equal rights with men. The domi-
nant male no longer exists I'm many

WOMAN PAST AND PRESENT.

The position of woman, which has
been that of advancing for the last
1000 years from a position Of slavery
to that of equality with man, has adj
vanced in the last century to mark
ed degree in the legal status of wo-
man, in particular. From a position
where she held practically no privi-
leges in courts Of justice a century
ago. she has advanced to one Of al
most equal privilege. The married
woman, property laws, now in exist
cncc in nearly all states, have con-
ferrcd on her the right to manage
and dispose Of her separate property
as freely as a man.
Recently New York case Illus
uatcs the marked advancement in
this line. The Rev. Burton Howard
Lee. a pastor Of an Episcopal church
at OSsining. y. y, had signed sep
aration agreement with his wife, ac-
cording tn which she was to have the
children except for periods at stated
intervals. when they were to visit
him. The lawyers for the father ar
gued that he could not contract away
the natural rights he held to the Gus
tody Of the children, and cited
case in point, decided in 1912, when
the court held such an agreement was
valid. The words Of the judge in rem
dering his decision in the case 70 1872
show such difference in the relative
rights Of the father and mother over
the child from the decision Of the
Judge in the recent case in New York
of Rev. Burton, that we quote from
both. In the case Of 1912 the Judge
said:
"The very being and legal existence
,of a woman is suspended during mar
riage; or at least, is separated and
consolidated into that Of her husband.
Their relative power over the person
