FULLER LIFE IS
URGED FOR
WOMEN
Mrs. Bertran1 Russell, Wife
Of Philosopher, Writes
Of Sex War
By r. A. WRAY,
international News seryIes

LONDON, Aug. 6.--That there Il
a sex war, and that man Is the
enemy OF women are two. Of the
theories advanced by Mrs. Bertrand
Russell. wife Of the famous phiiosc-
pher, In a book entitled "Hypatia"
| or woman and knowledge"
The chief attitude OF Mrs. Rus
sell is one Of bitter hostility to man
made rules OF life. She depicts
man as q most unattractive crea.
ture, a. greedy and spitefu1 competi.
tor with women In the labor
market, and, as a husband, jealous,
intolerant and fnconsiderate, Ac-
cording to her it is only as q lover
with whom somehow evenings are
speflt-a lover who has no claim
and cannot tyrannize; lover, per-
haps, who pleads to become q hus.
band, but has no chance unless his
income IL good or secure" that man
can. be useful to the modern, self
supporting woman.
One cause, according to Mrs. Rus
sell. Of the sex war Is that men
entrust the teaching Of their daugh.
tiers solely to spinsters, who, well
drilled by tradition in ideas Of fem.
mime virtue,' glory in the "sexless.
learned women" they are creating,
and the thought that one day their
pupils will force those savage,
lustful men to conform to the ideals
they set up for women.
Mrs Russell declares that the
education OF women has never
been entirely honest, nor such az
to fit them for the possibility Of
motherhood And she holds that,
in spite Of everything, Sin spite of
an education committed, so far as
the authorities can control It, to
sour or religious spinsters, the
modern young woman Il not very
| moral"
It would seem that to wage war
on the medieval-minded the nrll.
RENT and the prudish. and to Sc.
cure q fuller sexual life for woman
| Is the foremost OF Mrs. RusselIs
aims. But it is doubtful whether
some Of her theories would meet
with general acceptance.
Grant each man or woman, :
says she, speaking of the sex ques.
| ton, 'stI1e right to seek his or her
own solution without fear OF pub
lie censure. Moral questions Of
this kind cannot be decided by
soYneN abstract rules. It would not
| be wrong for man to have six
wives, providing he and they all
found mutual happiness in. that ar.
rangement; nor for q woman to
/ have six husbands and q child by
each. II she. and they found such
g. life satisfactory"
With teaching Of this kind. Mrs.
Russell expresses strong dissatis-
| faction with the marriage tie as It
stands at present.
Women" she says, who have
been free, .remember the horror Of
the approach Of marriage; q barrier
to- most Of us for free public &C.
, tivity: q lifelong contract only TO
be broken in disgrace and public
disgust Social duties that
exasperate and are totally unneces,
sary. : Looks Of surprise and
reproach IL we enjoy other male
society; constraint in the manner
of the men formerly ones friends.
Children, had we them lille.
Ultimately, would be our own, but
now are our husbands : >"
! AS might be expected, Mrs. Rus
sells views are giving rise to tor
rent Of discussion, a great deal OF
the unfavorable part coming from
her own sex.

total expenses were never more
than FL 1851 per week. The re-
Ynainder OF his pay he set aside for
his creditors benefit.

Miss Eastwood wanted the mat.

was not one OF public interest. -
There IL nothing very noble
about it, she said. ~''I was brought
