HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN. hi One of the nicest features of a par charming nursery recently visited is this little fireplace with its high fender. It makes the room seem a very cozy nest indeed for its small occupants, and the fender effectively eliminates any possibility of their playing too near the fire. Of course, there i{s no reason why this type of fender need be confined to a nursery. Although seldom seen here, it is extremely popular in Eng land for every sort of room. The top rall is usually upholstered and wide enough to perch on when one's spirit needs the soothing effect of giving the fire a vigorous poking-up. Or if one wishes to toast the toes wtih the ut- most ease, it supports the shins very comfortabiy. (Copyright, 1925.) Steamed Chicken Fillets.

C, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Ve . Discusses New) New Ideals Relationship for Old 0 ro y lx Between the Sexes Expects Her to Be Wage-Earner After Mar- riage—Regards Matrimony as Experiment. "THE strangest thing in this age of strange things is the new relationship that is growing up between the sexes. So many of the ideals that have ruled us for centurles have been scrapped and swept into the discard that the boy and girl babies of today are virtually born into a new world where few of the conventions that ruled their parents survive. Take the matter of financial independence for instance. Since the cave man days it has been held that the proper attitude of woman was one of dependence on her lord and master. The woman bore the children and kept the house, and the husband provided the wherewithal to support the famil { When a woman had property her husband took possession of it on the day they were married. Virtually every lucrative occupation was barred to wom en. When a man and a woman went to any place of amusement the man would have been highly insulted if she had offered to pay any part of the cost of the entertainment. Man was the purse bearer, and his lordly gesture indicated that he had the checking account of Mr. Rockefeller, and the woman was a dear little sweetle, who was not to bother her poor, little, foolish head over the cost of anything. i Today the majority of women earn their living before they are married Financlal independence has become so necessary to their happiness that one of the patent sources of domestic discord is the inability of the woman wh has had her own pay envelope to do without it and reconcile herself to taking whatever. her husband gives her as recompense for her hard work as a poor man's wife. Also husbands are coming more and more to begrudge spending money on their wjves, and are demanding oftener and oftener that the wage-earning girls they marry shall keep on with their jobs. thing for the young women who go out with young men to places of amuse ments to pay their own way and go flifty-fifty on all expenses. e v e THIS may be fair enough. Certainly when men and women work side I side, and the woman gets the same salary as the man, there is no mor reason why he should feed her and buy her theater tickets than why she should buy his. Perhaps it s only logical that when woman fought for and won financial independence she should have to pay the price of her victory. But what I am trying to show is that man’s attitude toward woman as regards money has changed. She has shown that she can make her own living, and he lets her do it. Even fathers have now no such sense of re sponsibility about providing for their daughters as they used to have. Men no longer adopt the gallant “I'll-pay-your-way" pose. They treat women about money as they would treat another man. Of course, the occupation of wifehood and motherhood is a strenuou and is all that any woman can be expected to do properly, but it is ming more and more evident that men are less willing to support their famiiie and that in the future women are going to have to continue to be earners even after they are married. one. e .. EN and women both approach marriage in a different spirit. In the back of most young people’s heads as they march to the altar is the thought that if they don't like it they won't stick to it. It is an experiment and they will try anything once, and if it doesn’t come up to what the novelist and poets have press-agented it to be, they can always fly to the divorce court ter Neither husband nor wife That is why marriage is so often a failure. makes an honest effort to make a success of it. Of course, there are exceptions to all rules. There are husbands who gladly support thelr familles; there are girls who have kept themselves un Sullied and their lips virginal; there are men and women who still hold mar riage a sacrament. But for the great majority of men and women there are new ideals and a new attitude toward each other. And-whether these are better or worse than the old, only time can tell.
