PARIS SHOCKED

marriage pact between Fannie
Hurst. the famous American short
story writer. and her husband.
jacques e. DanieIson, composer. as
here in Paris, where sex and mar
.risge problems always stand in the
forefront of public and private dis
cussion- Upon receipt of news Of
Miss Hurst's remarkable revelation
on the eve of the fifth anniyer-
sary Of her "two-breakfasts-a-
week" pact, the views of some not
able Parisians on the Hurst-Daniel-
son scheme of welded life were
sought. The following symposium
is the result:
Maurice Donnay, dramatic author,
member Of the Academy
Such a mode of living for man
and wife is impossible for the ma
jority of couples. The best thing
in married life is mutual restrain
ing influence. Marriage is moth
ing without a common home.
CeIine Enooz, woman scIentistG
think the Hurst-Danielson
plan is perfectly logical. Married
persons are apt to tire of each
other mentally and physically
from constant association. How
ever, TO my way of thinking, Miss
Hurst is wrong in saying the
children should bear their fathers
name till they are OF age. The
personality of the father is alb
solutely immaterial.
Mime. JuIe, SieEriedI suffrage
leader;
Passion may not stand famili-
arity, but real love is Iostered by
close association. Therefore CO.
habitation is the secret of success
in marriage. I think Miss Hurst s
scheme is wrong.
Cecile Zorel. stage beautyi
Many women do not demand
love. but expect purely economic
support. For these, ordinary mar
rage is ideal. But exceptional
women who demand true happi-
ness should have separate domi-
ellis, so as to assure careers for
both. Really Intelligent women
should not marry, but give their
gifts equally to all men worthy
of them.

No attempt. apparently. will be

To a question regarding the fail
ure to send a German commission

George, the chancellor replied that

side Germany. on the contrary, had
proposed to do so, he said, when

last year was to send workmen into
the devastated areas to undertake

proposal was not acted upon.
