Mrs. Hale is fhe niece of Sir John- ston Forbes-Robertaon and was her- self ten years on the stage. Since her marriage to an American husband she has lectured extensively. She h done work for the woman movement in both England and America and she is the mother of three daughters. “This opportunity for varied obser- vation and experience of the modern woman's life is my excuse for ven- turing to voice her cause,” she ex- plained. “My hope is that the excuse may prove also a justification. “It > good t @ woman to- day.

He gives his wife everything—except himself, “The well-to- American woman has innumerable varieties of ‘good times,’ but she does not have the companionship ef her mate.
