TUESDAY, JUNE 1,.1920 © WOMEN’S To Smoke ‘To Vote RIGHTS 1 Pay Envelope Will Society Let Them “Sow Wild Oats?” Noted Writer Says Marriage Is Not a Religion to Us; It Is a Sport. By Marguerite Dean. Copyright, 1920, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening W OMEN have the vote and the right to smoke and pay envelopes— Perquisites once regarded as exclusively male, As the next step, is society going to permit women to sow their ‘Wild oats as openly, and with as little censure, as men sow theirs? Tt is a startling suggestion, even when put in interrogative form, But the latest book of Mrs. C, Gasquoine Hartley, a well known and reputable English woman writer on social topics, is frankly entitled “Women's Wild Oats,” and as frankly offers the suggestion of the public recognition of “wild love” for women, of the open toleration of “passionate friendships” between men and women outside marriage. The book is published by Frederick A. Stokes Company. In justice to Mrs. Hartley, it should be said that her ideals of’ marriage Nself are of the highest. She writes almost sterniy, “Marriage is not religion tu us; it is a sport. I am sure we know better how to engage @ servant, how to buy a house, how (0 set up in business—how, indeed, to do every unimportant thing in life better than we know how to thoose @ partner in marriage.

We speak of falling in love, and we do fall.” “There is,” declares this observanc wife and mother, “whether we like At or not, a new kind of woman avout ‘who is to snatch from life the fr dom that men have had, and to do this, she knows, if she thinks at all, that she must keep marriage at ba “For m ge binds the woman while it frees the man, and this in- fusttce—if so you like to term itis dependent on something fundamenta: something that will not be changed by endowment of motherhood, n a) standar@ jn the marriage laws, or ang ofthe modern patent medicines foW giving health to mar- yx ; Flage and liberty to wives, Lari ‘We are all to piéces morally. @rent and possibly increasing number MRS.
