husband and wife do not live in the

cult for them to see each other, each
will bo more charming, each Will re-
member to do nice little things.
Even when there are children, 4
think they should live with the
mother and that the husband should
visit the family. He would see prac-
tically as much of his children as he
sees Of them now, for in a well-reEu-
lated family they are in bed before
he comes home at night and he has
about five minutes of their society
in the morning. In any arrangement,

Miss Burr admits that variods
economic adjustments must take
place before her scheme OF periodic
or part time matrimOny becomes
practical for many couples, although
She thinks others could begin 1t at
once.
"Of course" she said 1--WE must
have women paid well enough for in
teresting work so that they Will not
want to sink into marriage to escape
their jobs, and mothers should he
paid by the state, for bringing UP
their children.
"As for divorce, anybody should
have fifteen or twenty divorces who
wants them. Naturally, the ideal
for which all OF us hope is a love
so beautiful and strong that it will
last a lifetime. But when there is
no longer any love, not even work
ing friendship, why should persons
who loathe each other be made to
stay together--Or else go into court
and tell their unhappiness to the
world? IT'S bad enough to be un-
happy, without telling everybody
about it,"

'"Then in that case which of the
two should be free?" l asked. "The

riage or the person who wants TO
keep II going?"
"The person who wants TO END it,"
she answered firmly, I'VE women

resolution adopted in behalf of Ar

of Nations at Geneva.
1t requested that the "horrors of the
Armenian tragedy" be brought to the
attention of the powers with a view
to entrusting some power with the task
of taking the necessary measures to
stop the hostilities.

to bring about peace between the con-

He asked suggestions as to the ave-

it should be addressed.
The President already has before
him much data bearing on Armenia in
connection with the task intrusted to
him of fixing Armenian boundaries.
Question as to the fate of the Ar

of the league toward Armenia would
