Il do not believe in changing the
ideal of marriage so that its duties
are less binding on women: already
we have gone too far in that direc-
tton. 1t is the highest type of men
and women who will seek to marry
and be best and happiest living
together as faithful husband and
wife, as devoted father and mother.
There can be no manner of use in
forcing into the marriage bonds
those who are unwilling to accept its
duties of permanent devotion. Let
those who do not desire marriage be
openly permitted to live together in
honorable temporary unions"

In justice to Mrs. Hartley, It should
be said that her ideals OF marriage
Itself are OF the highest. She writes
almost sternly, Marriage is not a
religion to us; IL is a sport. / am
sure we know better how to engage
a servant, how to buy a house, how
20 set up in business-how, indeed,
20 do every unimportant thing in life
better than we know how to choose
a partner in marriage. We require
character with our cook or our
butler, we engage an expert to test
the drains OF our house, we study
and work, and pass examinations to
prepare ourselves for business, but in
marriage we take no such sensible
precautions, we even pride ourselves
that we do not take them. We speak
OF falling in love. and we do taU,"
There is" declares this observGnu
wife and mother, whether we like
n or not, a new kind Of woman e,bout,
who is TO snatch from life the free
dom that men have had, and to do
this, she knows. If she thinks at ALL
that she must keep marriage at bay.
For marriage binds the woman
while it frees the man, and this m
iustice-if so you like to term it is
dependent on something fundamental;
something that will not be changed
by endowment of motherhood, an
equal moral standard in the marriage
laws. or ann of the modern patent
medicines foF giving health to mar
rage and liberty to wives.
I'VE are all TO pieces morally. A
great and possibly increasing number
OF girls to-day regard love affairs in
very much the same way as thcy nre
regarded by the average man, as en-
joyable and exciting incidents Of
which they are ashamed only when
they are talked about and blamed
With no seX-conscience, such giTis,
even when quite young, exhibit a
logic and a,frankness that sometimes
Is rather startling"
Now what Is the answer? As Mrs.
Hartley points -outg merely growing
eloquent about sin solves nothing.
And she adds. "the old convention
that Irregular love is excusable in the
case OF TIA man. hut always TO be
punished 10 the case OF the woman,
will never again be accepted, at least
not by women" As some one else
has said, women to-day demand
either an equal standard OF morality
or an equal standard OF immortality.
