 The effect of this great change in the home on family fife has been most significant. Naturally. if has given in dlvIdual members of the family much more freedom.

But this does not mean the end of marriage. What happened in Russia is highly instructive. When the Bolshevists came into power the old marriage system of Russia was replaced by free love. People married But they could do so without any form. divorce the same day and marry again before sunset. Little by little, as a small amount of private property formed again in Russia. and especially as men and women aspired to form homes, once again marriage be- came an official affair Today in Russia marriage is easy, but it is once again legal marriage.
 Il believe, therefore, that all through human history there will be some sort of marriage. The community will always need to register the fact that So-and-so and So-andso were married, therefore more or less responsible for certain chil- dren. Where, however, the change is likely to be rapid is in divorce. Today divorce is in chaos. In England it is hard to obtain; in France it is easier: in New York State divorce A only granted for one reason; in Nevada for any reason. believe that in the future. and that may be only fifty or a hundred years hence, over almost all the world divorce will be much easier than it is today.

 The tyranny of domestic drudeery is resented much more today than if ever was before. Perhaps this is he cause the shortage of servants has gwen the average housewife o-reo, ceal more Of 1t to do.

 Still, there is much about the upkeep of a large house which requires time and attention from the most determined woman of leisure. It must be kept clean and it's multitudinous wants supplied. while the difficulty of obtaining servants grows ever more acute It is in the case of the large home, therefore, that Uoman's rebellion has become most no ticeable.

 "One of the features that is having the greatest possible effect upon the status of marriage is womans rebellion against the home. l don't suppose that the household has ever been the soft shelter for women that the Victorians would have had us believe.

 Woman has felt in it much as work man might feel if he were presented with the White House and informed that he must live in it and keep it in good condi- ton without assistance on $3 week The home may be precious possession. but it is too often maintained at the price of youth. of energy and of en- lightenment.

 W divorce will be granted without any reason to childless couples, since in their case divorce affects nobody.

 There will, therefore, be more free dom. Marriage will not not be as final as it is today.
