vV tC Jfy WI ,4 17 I i AkV THE WIRELESS BABY BUGGY SINGING TO THE SCHENECTADY TWINS it Hem! 'omen Love, 0 Appeals For Abolition of Breach of Promise Actions in England By EDWIN PUQH ID IONDON, May 28. There always will be a difference between men and women. Air the same, that needn't prevent them from being equals. In net. woman claim oquallty, and fculte rightly.

They've got the vote. khey already have one of their sex In the British Parliament, they are L'llowed to sit on Juries. They prov ed, during the war, that they can do most work It was thought only men sould do. They can earn tholr own living, if necessary, and therefore they no longer have to go husband Muntlng. They can afford to wait hint 11 the right man comes along, and then they can marry him for love, Iwhlch after all, Is the only thing hroroh marrying for.

That Is why I have for a long time lust been wondering why some wo nen of prominence has not yet fatrlsen to denounce the breach of I promise laws. A breach of promise sictton is degrading to both parties, and especially so to the woman. I A man has just as much right to I bring an action for breach as a woman. Indeed, he has more right, because the conviction Is that the man asks the woman to marry him, and she says ahe will. It Is she, not he.

who makes the promise. But very, very seldom have men brought ac tions fur breach of this promise. The reason why Is that far mora men than women marry for love. Sweet Spell of Dalliance The young man falls In love with I the girl. He follows her about, haunts house she lives In, makes op ortunltlcs to meet her by happy ecldent, and at last contrives some' low to make her acquaintance.

Then comes that short sweet spell dalliance before the vital question asked and answered. And until lhat first time rapture of their liuthful bliss has quite subsided, Jhe Irl usually Is veiled, as It were, In golden mist of Illusions. Her true nncr nature, wun an its more or Vss amiable weaknesses and robust Irtues, has arot yet been fullyreveal to her lover. A Gradual Cooling Bit by bit. In numberless different more commonplace ways, in 'mpatlblllty may show Itself.

After he first hot flush of Joy has faded a Uttle and la succeeded by the com Isratlvely humdrum happiness of erhaps a long egagement. In which fhe ecstatic moments recur ever less uently and thevtona of their nvcrsatton droops gTaduaWy near er to eartn, tnen xne young coupie discover that they have very ttle In qpmmon, after all. Beween the transports they may save little to say to one another, or onlyHhlngs that Jar and rankle. And 'though. It la true that quite different Than or Writer natures may bo mutually helpful, there must somewhetp be a full, whole hearted sympathy, some common sroiind of Interest, some points of close contact, or the two naturos never can blend harmoniously.

The law, however, flouts this vtew. A man has asked a maid to marry him and willy nilly he must go through with It. It matters nothing that ho does not love her, that what he fancied was love, was merely a passing infatuation. It manors not that, after sober calm deliberation, ho Is convinced that In marrying her he would be condemning them both to a life of misery. He must marry the woman of his first rash choice, or explain himself In a court of law.

Witness Box Test I doubht if any woman ever faces tho ordral of the witness box to hvar his letters read out amid tempestuous laughter to bo (herself derided, bullied, and shamed I doubt if upy of that type has really ever loved the man. I am sure no self respecting woman ever docs It, unless she has been egged on by some malignant friend or relative. Ladles ladles, if you love a man and ho cries oil because he has unaccountably fallen out of love with you and Into love with some other Rlrl surely you are not going to stand up In court, and put a money value on your broken heart, and tell the whole world that he was your forlorn hope of ever getting a man at all, that it was not what he was, but what ho did, you. were after? That's putting a higher value on men than they put on you. That's a confession uf inferiority.

Really, It does seem to me that it we men are above that sort of thing and men suffer as much from being Jilted as women do you dear luilles ought to be afcove It, too. Or bang goes your claim to the equality of the sexes, your economic Independence, your demand for a full share of man's rights and privileges, anil everything else that Is or use to be his.

There is no man's work. Men have grabbed all the privileges, that's all, and when they see a woman coming along and demanding a little of what is their due, and getting it, it almost drives men mad.
