our instincts"
Asked what he thought was the
greatest single factor in causing mod
ifications of marriage, Mr.. Ellis re-
piled:
Il think the economic factor is a
very important one. l think that if
women can not earn their own livings
they are helpless in forming sexual
unions"
Although he did not say that he sub

conversation he mentioned a theory OF

the novitiate." HaveloCk Ellis said,
She thought marriage should not De

each other and learned more OF each
others character. OF course. they
would not have full relationship.
For some years, Mr.. and Mrs. Have

They visited each other at their re-
spective homes. but were said to be
afraid TO wear out romance. They col

book Man and Woman,

United States is only temporary he
said, when asked whether he attached
any special significance to the alleged
domino ton of women there. Il don't
think either sex ought to rule the
world. The only wholesome state is
equality"
This very affable philosopher was
of the opinion that women perhaps
had tendency to carry their newly

and that they would have to develop
a greater sense of responsibility.
Regarding the so-called sexual muir.
ders in the United States, Havelock
Ellis would say little. He dismissed
the question with the remark:
These abnormal murders are likely
to turn up in any country. Perhaps
you have more of them in the United
States because of your diverse racial
elements. But ] always think that
murders attract too much attention"
To the very end of the interview
Havelock Ellis seemed never to leave
his attitude of contemplating some
thing afar off Sometimes he appeared
on the verge Of becoming interested in
question, but invariably after SEN
tence or two he retired into the un-
approachable region which he never
entirely left.

Short Caters and Opera Hats Los

LONDON. June 4 (P).-Spats have
taken a back seat in the world of
fashion for the moment.
In fact, London has become almost

loss to account for the sudden demise
of the short gaitar which has been
popular here for years. One report
says the King does not care for spats
as much as formerly and also that the
Prince of Wales has not worn them
regularly of late, all of which has af
