the wife to be thrown on. of doors, without
any knowledge of how to 80 about the
business of earning a living for herself and
her children, and without any means OF
support? Surely it is not necessary to argue
the question
with regard TO the statement that
man Is responsible for the debts made by
his wife. The laws OF the various States
differ somewhat regarding this matter. but
in this State a man is responsible only for
those debts made by his wife In conducting
the home, and then only for the necessities
of life Luxuries he cannot be made to
pay for This is right. The wife has no
means of securing money except from the
husband. II she has the authority to pur-
chase for the home. and surely she has be-
cause IL she did not make the~purchases the
home would be neglected, then II is right
that a sufficient amount of what the man
earns be used in paying the bills Of the
home.
Certainly a man has no share in the
earnings OF his wife. That is something we
fought for, and we succeeded in having the
change made in the law only about 1898.
We have so fixed the law that a loafing.
drunken bum can no longer appear at q
factory payroll window and demand the
earnings of his wife.

Protect IawsA Not Essential

Also am OF the opinion that women did not
care about having the right to vote. Ger
tainly the majority OF those personally
know did not care about it, and men from
other sections Of the country with whom
have talked tell me the same thing is true
where they reside.
Upon several occasions have spoken of
the fact that women, having been given the
right to vote, have been allowed to think
that they are upon an absolutely legal
equality with men, when a matter of fact
they are not seeking equality and do not
want II. They want something more than
equality. They want equality plus. They do
not want to repeal the laws which men
passed In lieu OF giving them the vote Let
us see what some of these are.
First there are the alimony and divorce
laws. Mind you. do not believe in allmony
at all for either women or men. believe in
IL only for the children. The little innocents
should be protected. but alimony should stop
right there. However. il Is fact that a
woman can sue for alimony and a man has
not that right, no matter how well able his
wife may he to pay him. Car il be said that
such state Is fair and that men and women
are equal before the law in that instance?
"One ground for divorce is non-support.
but this allegation may be made only by n
woman.
"A man is responsible for his wife's debts.
but she is not responsible for his. This
may be carried to an absurdity. A woman
directly after her marriage may begin buy
ing extravagantly and absolutely wreck her
husband financially IL she wants to by pur-
chasing jewelry and things which may be
concealed. lie has no recourse and can be
taken into court and made to pay. The wife
Is not responsible for even the smallest debt
OF her husband

Nothing of the Woman Hater

In justice to DR. Carter il should be

he say anything which could be even dis

save the impression OF profound respect
innate chivalry and desire to protect
women against any injustice whatever. In a
general way and this statement did not come
specifically from him, his criticism seems
to be that women are attempting to abandon

are seeking TO secure BY the enactment OF

Acting on the Principle
That a Good Time Is Normal

"For we act on the principle that having
a good time is normal. If we get the OPP
portunity we can show two types or girls
those who need 1t most-that to follow the
things fashion DEGREES, that is to follow them
blindly, is not to have good time. Quite
the reverse.
''The two types referred to are the fac
tory girls or those whose work-a-day lives
are coloress and the department store girls.
who see life too highly colored. Undoubt-
edly these two afford us the yastest prob
lem and are hardest to reach and influence.
The former require excitement and go to
dangerous lengths to secure 1t; they are the
girls who come to harm in cheap dance halls.
The other girl is apt to ruin herself trying to
look in a muslin model (made by herself in
her hall bedroom) as gorgeous as the rich
mans daughter does IN some costly stun.
Their temptations differ IN kind but they
resemble each other in degree. Both are
hard to Withstand.
but the young girls in both these classes
have pretty good heads and when thing is
in front of them they can see it. They real
ize, for instance, when they see how attrac-
lively and yet how modestly some girls can
dress that it is foolish to adopt extremes
of fashion. / have scarcely seen 1t to fail

Example! Oh, the force of it! Once let
the society young woman wash her face

will see the working girl will clean hers,
too. Once let the society young woman
put on sensible shoes and drop her skirt to
their tops and you will meet in the business
sections shoals of pretty young women IN

II repeat that the force of example,

these self-supporting girls. How much the
daughters of the rich could do for these
girls, without a minutes interference~wlth

How One Woman Lost Out
In Legal Fight Over Savings

ave had a case here in Brooklyn in 1914
that shows what can still be done to women.
A certain woman skimped. and saved and
went without the clothes she would have
liked to wear until she had increased n gift
of 5000 from her husband to about 5000.
Then her husband tried to get the money out
OF the savings bank. The matter was con-
tested in court and the law gave the man
tho money because she had saved IL from the
household expense allowance. They took
her money away from her.

Working Girls Ape Manners

"They are of one type outwardly. They
wear the sheerest low-neck waists, the filmi-
