Women of England
Determined to Win
Equality in Divorce

London, March pa. p. by MaiD
| Since English women were given
the vote some notable victories have
! been gained for causes in which wo-
men are particularly interested. But
there is still much fighting to be done
and victories to be gained, their mill
tant leaders say. before they can
claim to have won the great contest
for equal rights in which they en-
listed long ago.
One of these battles is expected to
be fought to a finish in parliament
very soon. Its legislative designa- =
ton is the Matrimonial Causes Bill.
and it seeks to amend the existing
law Of divorce. 1t aims to give wife
| the right to divorce her husband on
the same ground that he can divorce
| her.
AS the law stands now in England
| the husband can divorce his wife for
| adultery. But a wife may prove her
husband guilty Of adultery dozen
times over and she will not stand a
ghost of a chance of getting a divorce
unless she can prove him to have
been guilty also Of cruelty.
There are three reasons why this
bill should become la" says Mrs.
Wintringham. who is supporting the
measure in the House Of Commons.
First, it is only matter. of equity
and justice as between husband and
| a wife. Second, it received the sup
port Of an overwhelming ma jority in
the House of Commons on the occa-
sion of its second reading. and, third,
the removal of the inequality is de
manded almost universally by the
women of this country"
England lags far behind most
civilized countries in regard to giving
men and women equality of treat
ment with regard to divorce. as Mrs.
Wintripgham points out. That equali-
ty is accorded by Austria, Bulgaria,
Denmark, Germany, France, Norway,
Holland. Russia, Sweden and Rou-
mania. in most of tie British colo
MES. and in the United States.
"rhe great support the bill is re-
ceiving." adds Mrs. Wintrinsham, SIS
perhaps due to these facts. First and
foremost. we must take account of
the power of the womens vote. Wo-
men have only two representatives
at present who sit in parliament, but
that by no means is the measure of
their political power 1t is vastly
greater. No party can now afford
to disregard women's votes.
Then it has to be borne in mind
that there is growing tendency to-
day to consider the woman's point of
view in all matters relating to Dues
tons of equality between the sexes.
There is evidence also of a growing
desire among certain section of the
community, both of 1:len and women,
that women should rank equally with
men In domestic life, and take an
equal RESPONSIBILITIES

HYMN Of Hate

We hate collegiate moving pic

Take the remnants. Every COL

breeds. There are Yale pennants,
Harvard pennants, Princeton pen

canes and wave them about with
gales of hearty laughter at the slight

And take the students" them
selves. At casual glance they ap-

They turn their hat-brims up in
front and down behind. They
thump each other continually on the
back. They wear striped shirts.
Whenever there is more than one

manly affection about each others

grips.
They all play the ukelale, too The
