a profession she Is still economically
dependent on her husband.
THE measure will provide that the
amount of income allowed a woman
by her husband should be set down
by law and not left to the casual gen
erosity of the husband. In addition.
she will be a responsible entity, and
her husband will not be responsible
in any degree for any torts which
she might incur damages. 1t is ABB
surd to talk of responsibility for any
debts or damages OF any kind as long
as a married woman has no income
of her own with which to pay them.
Nationality Is Question.
Moreover, there is the question
of woman's nationality. Why
should a woman lose her nationality
simply because she marries a man
Of a race different to her own? To
remedy this evil, however, the law
would have to be international. In
Australia a woman has the right to
retain her own nationality and de-
mand the protection of her own gov
ernment whatever the nationality of
her husband might be.
"Our great friend in all these move
ments is undoubtedly Lady Astor
We expect much of her. Her assist
ance and sympathy up to now have
been invaluable. She is doing more
for the women of Great Britain than
any other person"
What about Mrs. Asquith?"
asked.
II was talking about the good Of
all women, not one woman" re-
sponded Mrs. Hubback. Lady Astor
seems to have a particular flair for
cnlisting the sympathy of all influen-
tial parliamentarians and also a won
derful capacity for nosing out facts
and finding the easiest and safest
way OF getting her opinions accepted
and made use of in the proper quar-
fer"

international News Service.

LONDON, May 13.-Complete
economic independence is promised
for the wives Of Great Britain
within the next few months. A
royal commission appointed by the
lord chancellor now is considering
the ways and means of placing
legislation on the statute books
which will make women, in every
sense of the word, the equal OF
men.
The law at present in Great Brit
ain gives women all the privileges OF
men, but few Of the responsibilities.
Within the last few weeks cases In
the law courts have proved that al
though they have the equal fran
chise rights and the same qualtfica-
ton as men to be members OF pub
lie bodies, from a seat in the House
Of Commons down to the humble
urban district council, yet on the
question of a debt they are nonen-
tity; their husbands are held legally
responsible.
Husbands Are Held.
Take a purely hypothetical case.
Lady. Astor. the wife of Lord Astor
and a member OF the British House
of Commons, representing con
stituency of 10000 very responsible
men and very intelligent women, Is
entitled to vote on their behalf in
the highest session in the land, but
