Under the Skin?


/ ideas regarding woman's personal,
social and economic life, which even
before 1914 number Of persons
were trying to realize. The conflict
which took the majority of women
out of their homes broadened their
outlook immeasurably. II gave num-
bcrs Of them their first taste of eco
nomic independence. And the es-
tablishmcnt of creches and national
kitchens proved that organization
could make much Of the old slavlsh-
ness to the home unnecessary. Many
women will never 90 back to the old
way. We cannot ask them to. The
problem now is for the man to catch
I'D with the woman. He must either
help to lessen her domestic burdens
or share them with her.
"And a great many men have re-
turned from the war prepared to DO
so. For five years they have been
in the field, many of them far away
from woman's usual ministrations.
They have learned to do for them
selves many Of the little tasks for
which they formerly depended upon
their wives, and their wives have
learned to do much of what is
termed mans work. the work
which brings in the pay envelope.
MANY people are afraid that
woman's new trend Of thought in re-
gard to the home will lead to its de-
struction. This will not be if the
woman and the man together cast
out the old traditions Of 'woman's
place and mans dictatorship and
cooperate intelligently to make the
new home freer place for woman's
development. Women, to a certain
degree, as well as men must be edu-
Gated up to this point.
women are justified in the new
IDEAS regarding marriage which
they are striving to work out. They
believe that the old perpetual pro-
pinquity led to boredom which
strangled romance. They ask why

who, he thinks, would let him put his
feet on the desk and drop his cigar
ashes on the floor. Yet when he
has the object of his alteration it
will not be long before he tries to
make her into the very type of
woman which she isn't" even de-
spite the fact of having married her
because she wasn't"
His passion for putting his~feet
on the desk or dropping the cigar
ashes is transient; his love of an
orderly home is habit. And if he
succeeds in making his consort over
into something Of the type to which
he has been accustomed in mother
and sisters, he won't be pleased
with the result. Thus, man from
a staid, sober home chooses &
woman who loves color and gayety;
directly he has her home he tries
to fit her into his ancestral mold
Women do the same thng-marry
a man for one set of qualities and
worry him because he is deficient
in others.

want, it might be well for them to
learn how to discern them.

A Calm and
Happy Radical

! took my question TO Havelock
Ellis, possibly the greatest living
authority on the subject of man
and woman and their relationship
20 each other, and certainly one of
the best and earliest friends of the
rev woman. Mr.. Ellis enjoys the
unique distinction Of having two
very large audiences of different
kind in America: intelligent men
and women in every walk of life
who love his non-technical writings
for their practical idealsm and
fearless vision, and the medical
profession, alone privileged to buy
those of his books which delve into
the pathological.

, the ideal of marriage, but until the
limitations and inequalities Of the
marriage laws are removed think
ing men and women will show an in
creasing tendency to take matters
into their own hands, even at the
risk of bringing down the disap-
proval Of society"
DR.. and Mrs. Ellis are the kind of
idealists who lived their ideals as
we'll as wrote books about them. To
the infinite surprise-and confused
indignation, too-of the majority Of
the villagers, they lived a life Of
romantic love in Cornwall by the
sea as neighbors, each occupying a
separate house. Mrs. Ellis, who ap-
proved passionately Of the married
woman maintaining her own eco
nomic independence, supported her
self by writing and farming and
ltcturing.
They never bored each other. and
they didn't run the risk Of it. For
months Havelock Ellis would come
up to his apartment in London, and
for months Mrs. Ellis, who was very
fond Of America and our receptivity
to new ideas, would cross the sea
and remain away. But" DR.. Ellis
confessed, I'VE wrote to each other
every day."
Years did not wear thin the ro-
nance Of their marriage. At the
risk Of being thought sentimental,
must confess that this personal oit
of history of the life Of the great
sociologist seemed very beautiful to
me, and intensified, if possible, my
interest in his future writings.

Marriage a More Imminent
Danger Than War

There is much advocacy at pres.
ent Of enforced military training
yet the danger Of the youth Of our
country going to war again is more
remote than lat of their marrying
and being given in marriage. There
might be courses in our high schools
or in our colleges, or camps where
obligatory training was given, just
as we have training camps for war
where, for the advantage Of stu
dents, the possible vicissitudes OF
warfare are simulated that the re-
cruit may try his skill

perts the success or failure of any
marriage is altogether a matter Of
the wife's culinary skill: if love flies

successful marriage is not so much
the union Of two minds as the mar
riage Of a good cook to the possessor
Of an appreciative digestion. Yet
there have been notably happy mar
riages where the wife was not COM
