ONLY SECURITY FOR A WIFE
Birth Of Children Guaranteed Inds-
pendence to the Woman Under the
Code of Hammurabi.

In Babylon, under the code Of Ham
dren furnished the only financial Sc
curity for wife. A man might sepa-
rate from a wife at will and marry
another but If she had borne him chill
dren he must give back to that wom-
an her dowry, the usufruct of the field,
garden and property, during the minor
ity Of her children and thereafter She
was entitled to a share equal TO that
of son of all that has been given to
her children. She may marry the man
of her choice"
Under the primitive laws Of the ka-
frs of South Africa Il similar provision
is made, according to writer. con
siderable payment is made by the huS
band to the male relatives of the WON
an at the time of marriage. In lega
theory this amount is the property OF
the woman and her children, the rels
tives receiving it as trustees for her
benefit. Here, too, man may divorce
his wife at will and may demand bacl
his dowry If there have been no chill
dren born of the marriage, but his
claim upon it passes upon the birth Of
children. Obviously, where the status
of the wife is entirely subject to the
will of the husband and where the
woman has an enforcible claim against
this property while it remains in the
hands of her relatives, the birth Of
children furnishes the only assurance
of security and independence for the
wife.

SOME OF THE INNS OF COURT
Grsy's Produced Fewer Great Lawyers
but Can Guido Rivals In Assocla-
ton With influential Men.

Gray's inn, where the prime minister
and the heads of the air service take
a snack together in the evening, comes
down to us through the Grays of VIII
ton, whose home or inn 1t ancently
was. from the bishop and canons of ST.
Paul's ca thedral. The inn itself, bear
ing the family name, formed part Of
the Hundred of Ossulstone, and the
whole was included in yet larger
property, states a writer in the London
Chronicle. How st. Paul's itself be-
came possessed of the estate Is not
clear, but it is believed that it was at
one time the personal property of one
of the canous, who. II was enacted,
might give and sell their lands with
out leave.
Gray's inn has produced fewer great
lawyers than some of the other inns
of court, but it can outdo its rivals in
association with men who have vitality
Influenced the life of the nation
Thomas Cromwell. for instance, who
suppressed the monasteries; Lord
Burghley, chief counselor of Queen
Elizabeth, and Geo re Nonck, duke Of
Albemarle, who practically restored the
monarchy. But the inns chief glory,
Of course, is with the BacOns. Nicholas
and his far greater son. Francis, whose
mark remains till this day on the inn

entity at the sides to show the shoulder
beyond the rounded column Of the neck.
An interesting color note Is found In
the facing Of the tunic. Palest yellow
charmeuse Is the color complement for

shade are observed in tho cascade Of
the tunic. which. failing to meet across
the front. gives q long line to the figurc
in the unbroken panel OF the straight
narrow skirt that falls beneath this
tuIAc. Tho tunic isn't split in the back.
Instead 1t falls in q slightly gathered
line. giving somewhat the effect OF 4,

Madame duplicated this gown in dove
gray velvet, and faced the tunic with
the most wonderful shade Of rose char

crown runs q double wreath Of closely
