aWhere a man has seduced a
girl the action is very proper
thing" writes this judge but
that a man can be sued merely
because, having genuinely fallen
in love he genuinely falls out
again, is ridiculous. In the abb
sence of more serious features, a
woman should not be able to get
damages merely because man
changes his mind.
81 have known cases where the
proposed suit got so far as the is
suing of the writ when the fiance
has said: I would rather marry
you than face courts like this.
Yes, and / have known cases
where the girl has accepted the
offer. A good start for connubial
blissi
II do not want to convey the
impression, however, that there
are not thoroughly serious and
justified cases. In addition to the
class to which / have referred
there is that in which a man
heartlessly keeps a girl hanging
about for years-ten, fifteen, or
maybe more-until she loses all
chance of marrying anyone else.
When a man behaves as badly as
that it is clearly right the he
should have to make compensa-

London, Aug. 9.-Has Hhs'H
the right to jilt girl whom ne
is engaged to marry?
The question has been raised by
London newspapers following a
statement made by Justice &C.
Cardie In breach Of promise case
at Birmingham.
ut is my conclusion, said the
| Justice, that more than half the
| divorces are caused because the
parties were not really in love
In many cases they discovered
that fact before the marriage took
place. A girl has a right to Jilt
man but man often goes ahead
with the marriage, fearing breach
of promise proceedings"
The Marchioness Townshend
said she thought any honest man
would tell his fiance that he had
ceased to love her, regardless of
the risk of breach of promise
suit.
"The remarkable thing is that
so many girls fail to realize that
the men to whom they are en-
gagged no longer love them" she
added.
Miss Genevieve Ward, English
actress, said that an engaged girl
should be glad to get rid Of man
who has transferred his affections
to another without thinking OF
breach of promise suits.
The Daily Mail, canvassing
number of practical business
girls" reports that they prefer
to have their fiances tell them
the truth before the trip to the
altar. They are generally opposed
to breach of promise actions, but
believe that girl who has spent
lot of money for wedding out
fit should be reimbursed by
jilting fiance.
1.-THE right to love carries with
it the right to jilt," announces
one writer. ''If a man or woman
finds that the early attraction is
passing. it is therefore their boun-
den duty to break off. The day
may arrive when damages will be
awarded. not for correcting
very human mistake on the tres
hold of disaster, but for failing
to correct IT. There ought to be
way of avoiding these disasters
without undue penalty. For there
is nothing quite so hideous. or
quite SO hopeless as a loveless mar
riage."
A well-known English judge,
writing in the Evening Standard
upholds mans right to jilt.

business awaits a new attitude of
man toward his job, James b. AL
exander. president of the National
Bank of Commerce of New York,
said in an address tonight at the

and social confusion of the time
must be sought, he said, not only
in banking and business adjust
ments, but more particularly in
the human element.
Already substantial progress has
been made toward a return to
sounder conditions, according to
the speaker. but the time has not
yet come for a relaxation of eau
ton. The weight of chance is
against speculative undertakings.
Conditions in the rural districts
of the south We're described as
worse than in the days of slavery

south received just enough to keep

is not enough to keep them in a
