He! blames them for her departure and for the alienation of her affections. Instead of appreciating the compliment in plac-! ing a value of $100,000 on her companionship, and love, the daughter sides with her parents and will) testify for them ff the suit ever comes to trial. A Brooklyn man has gone further than the Bal- timore case in suing his wife for damages because | she-left-him._He also demands alimony. : jury to it can be properly measured only in money, be: rte NO LE In both these cases the advocates of the extension of women’s rights Should take an interest.If woman Is to be placed on an equality. in al! respects with man, a wife who deserts her husband should be comipelle: to pay alimony as much as a-tusband who deserts his wife. Suits for damages for the alienation of a husband's affections are frequent. Whilc wives’ affections are not so often openly alienated, there are many in stances of wivés leaving their husbands to their husbands’ damage. Domestic troubles tell on a man’s business relations to his-detriment When things are uncomfortable at home, when there are anxieties an © matrimonial infelicities, a man cannot concentrate his mind on his wor} and attend to his business to the best advantage: The cases are so frequent these days where the wife has property © her own or is the beneficiary of a legacy or a trust fund that a judgmen against the wife might be collected. The percentage of wives who dese —-their-husbands-is-naturalty-higher-among—women—who-have_means-o their own and who are not dependent on their husbands for financia support. esl As regards the alienation of the affections of either party by parent if that can be proved, the guilty parent should be mulcted in damage * There are -none:too' many happy-marriaggs as itis, and.the strain upo the marital relation by modern social and economic conditions is seve: enough without either a man or a woman being compelled to choos between his parental regard and his marriage vows. “Still it may be questioned whether a suit for dam- ages is either an adequate or an appropriate remedy. Money {s a balm for some wounds, but not for a . broken heart. . Money will solace business failure. It -._-will soothe polifital defeat. It will relieve financial worry. But it will not take the place of a husband; a, wife or little children, Only unsound thinking or a per- -verted-measure-of -values-will-seek to-substitute alimony. for affection or a damages judgment for a lappy «Still, if marriage is to be regarded as solely a_private contract like an ordinary business partnership, any im- cause business partnerships are simply a money-making combination, and business, as a rule, is conducted for financial gain. If a man marries-a woman because she has an independent fortunt, or if a woman marries a man because his income ls targe, matrimony does then become a sort o | a business in which failures are more frequent than at any other kin? of- money-making underiaking.
