You will say: Intellectual indepen-

the other kind Of independence, the
financial, the material kind? is there
any progress there?"
Well, according to my observation
there is-some. Here we are up
against the aneient truth, deeply
founded in the roots of human nature,
that the person who pays the piper
will call the tune. Unless a wife has
a private income-and few haye-she
will only arrive at the indepent
