sort OF wreck for that institution.
Even the cartoons in newspapers Of
conservative and estimable type
make fun Of marriage and get Ly
with it.
Wives Keep Own Names.
Meantime some persons like Miss
Hurst, who are nor content to wait
for changes in law and custom. pro-
coed 10 cut the marriage garment TO
suit themselves. There is what might
be described as a colony Of young
married women in New York who
do not take the names Of their hus-
bands, but keep their own One Of
them is said TO be engaged in writing
a book 10 prove the justice and eX-
pediency Of this Almost invariably
these women work, and in many
cases they are wholly self support
ing They enjoy a good deal more
freedom, and a good deal more con-
tact with the world, than the mar
ried woman Of more conservative
type who is content to find her place
in the home Their point Of view
was Wen voiced by Miss Hurst when
she said that she did not propose to
give up her work, and sink Into
state Of "sedentary fatheadedness."
A Challenge to Marriage
This is in effect taunt and a
challenge to the married women. 1t
implies that they are sedeutary fat
heads. and that there is something in
modern marriage which makes them
So This taunt IS 'eally an old one.
The feminists have been making It
for years They say that the modern
married woman has nothing to do,
that she is merely a kept woman,
that she is apt TO degenerate
mentally and physically. The con-
serVatives say that this is not true.
They say that any woman who
capacity. runs her household and
raises four or five children in a
creditable manner is no fat head And
this is certainly true. She is often
the brainiest and most important
Inember OF the family organization. I
But there is undoubtedly a growing
tendency for the American woman
not TO do her housekeeping or even
her child raising herself She lives

Then came the test" Chief Hill

schools take almost complete charge
OF the children after they are five
years old. That modern housekeep-
ing and motherhood are no longer
the skilled and arduous professions
they once were IS shown by the fact
that a large and increasing number
Of married women who have children
hold jobs at the same time You can
find a few Of these in almost any
business organization, and many OF
them in Journalism and the arts A
good many Of these married working
women are not driven primarily by
necessity, but have revOlted against
the tedium and idleness OF married
life and have sought other employ

depends, it would seem, partly on
circumstances and partly on the
woman's inclinations and aptitudes.
Some women like and have talent for
Housekeeping and child raising, and
some have neither the liking nor
aptitude. It certainly seems fair
that these latter should be taught
other professions or trades, and
should have as good a chance as men
have TO develop their minds and
bodies by work and experience. They
are the ones who are threatened with
secentary fat headedness, especially
il they marry men who have enough
money to hire cooks and nursemaids.

They searched for days They
asked the reporters to ask Jack

told the police that Jack said he pre-

the detectives very angry. They
searched harder. They asked the re-
