The Failure o." Free Union "

tive, always crying at the right time
and wanting TO be put TO bed when
there is something jolly on at one
of the little theaters.
And so the woman is quite tragic
about it. She hates TO give them up,
but what can she do?
Love calls and fate must answer.
So the man of the Free Union is
going TO keep the children. He is
quite determined on that. Oh, he
will get on somehow There is a lit
tie blonde girl, cashier in one Of the
cafes in the village-she's fond of
children and she might consent for
their sake. don't you know, and as
an experiment in soul study. don't
you see
But here's the puzzling part of ii
all.
The village doesn't approve Of the
arrangement.
Free Unions must be respected,
says the village. and if you wander
in and out of them like that why
they're no better than marriage, and
every one knows what that is.
And so the woman finds people
turning away from her when she
gets to telling how fettered she feels
and she can't understand it for the
life OF her.
And to tell the truth, neither can
1. Can you?
What's the use of a Free Union
if it isn't going to be free?
Pay Day Always Comes.
And if you're going to hold peo-
pie to old-fashioned ideas of duty
and honor and self-respect and ma
tural love-why, where are you?
How bound they are, those poor
slaves of freedom, after all-tied
and double tied, by their own folly,
their own selfshness and their own
weak and cunning cruelty.
For ne that laughs at honor will
sooner or later feel the whip of dis
honor as sure as he lives and
breathes.
And she who tries to imagine her
self above and beyond all the rules
of decent living and honest loving
is sure TO find herself below these
things one fine and fatal day.
The Free Union-it is nothing but
new name for an old, old situa-
tion--and giving the situation an
other name doesn't seem to change
by one iota the human nature OF
those concerned in it.
Now. if the Free Union had never
even begun, how much better off the
two persons and the two little chill
dren and all the rest of the world
would be today.

The Free Union" isn't a free
union any more and it's gone to
smash-absolutely and entirely and
irrevocably TO flinders.
What is a Free Union? You never
heard Of one?
It's plain 10 be seen you don't live
in Greenwich Village and you never
had any one call you comraie and
what you don't know about wearing
your hair bobbed and smoking Gig
arets from soup to cheese and all
the evening afterward. would fill
a large and enthusiastic book.
Free Unions" are very fashion
able in Greenwich Village. When a
girl meets a man she likes shs
doesn't marry him down there-not
always. She just tells her friends
that she and Edward or John Henry
or whatever his name may be are
affinities. They can tell il by the
stars, they knew 1T the first time
they met. Something electric in the
atmosphere, don't yon know. Why,
even the water noticed Il! You could
see he was interested by the way he
spilled the claret and forgot to bring
the cheese for the Roman soup.
And. just think of 1t. they both love
the same kind of French pastry and
they both dote on Russian literature
and believe in the Brotherhood of
Man and the Sisterhood Of Woman
and so they're going to have a Free
Union and live together in the
quaintest, smelliest, crumblingest,
darkest old hole in the corner in the
whole village. And when they pass
in and out Of the cafe those dining
there will nudge each other and say
Another Free Union" and it is ever
so romantic and picturesque and in
eresting-while il lasts.
This particular Free Union has
lasted quite a while and the man is
still devoted. But the woman feels
fettered-she likes to tell her
friends about it and shake her
wrists as if she could hear the clank
Of the chains-she longs for free
dom. and of course John Henry. or
whatever his name is. will have to
let go.
Children-Yes, Two of Them.
There are children-oh, yes, two
of them. Poor little anaemic things
with thin hair and chronic sniffIes,
who look as if they'd sat up late and
breathed cigaret smoke every night
of their lives since they were born.
1t is a good deal OF a nuisance
about them. The woman feels that.
You see the new man isn't fond Of
children-he says they are too prim-
