Chivalry, Says Mrs. Anna Garlin Spencer, Has Reached Its High- est Form, but Women Cannot Have Economic Independence and at Same Time Claim Privi- leges Men Used to Give Them When They Were Dependents. By Fay Stevenson. Wopyright, 1922 (New York Evening World) Sy’ prove Publishing. Company ‘iy HIVALRY has reached its C highest form. While it is true womgg cannot have freedom, equality of rights, economic independence and equal opportunity of self-develop- ment with men and at the same 2 time claim from these men tho same kind of privileges that chivalrous and good-hearted men used to give their mothers, sisters nd friends when they were depend- ent upon them, it 1s also true that Mas Ann AGAGUN SoeNeR men never were as chivalrous as they are to-day The chivalry les in their acceptance of our equality.’’ There is a thought for you straight from Mrs, Anna Garlin Spencer, the Unitarian minister and educator, lecturer, Suffragist, and author of “Woman's Share in\ Social Culture,” “The Scarlet Woman, or Social Nemesis and Social Salvation,” and “Social Ideals of a Free Church."” Mrs. Spencer, as she prefers to be called, although she possesses the titles of Rev." and ““Dr.,"’ ts at pres- ent delivering a series of lectures at Teachers’ College, Columbia Univer- sity, which are all hased upon the new woman and the new conditions she must meet “There is just one thing which this modern woman must avoid,’ keen- eyed little Mrs. Spencer told me in her ment at No. 70 Morningside Delve, which is fitted up with | of books concerning soctol¢ cial edu ‘and that tion and the femt the modern we m not grasp her new rights without her new responsibilities. The individual who tries it comes to grief, and tho social era that tries it cn u large scale is an era that will have to be reconstructed by later social experi- ence. “Then you think that the woman who jumps for equal rights must sac- rifice her seat in the subway, must be willing to help pay the rent of an epartment when she marries and cease to expect the same chivalry which her mother enjoyed because she was more or less dependent \ipon her father?” I asked. “Giving up seats in the subway | @ minor issue which I refuse to dis- Juss," promptly replied Mrs. Spen- cer, “but when you speak of sharing the rent and household expenses you are coming to the vital problems which will soon face every woman “Woman's new opportunities and her new freedom are bound to bring about serious change in the life of her husband and her children, Probably one of the first conditions to be consid- ered along this line {s alimony. P: © nditions and the fact that the aver- age woman was dependent upon her husband made it necessary for the husband to have to support his wife and child when it was discovered that husband and wife could not Ifve to- gether. But now, if women gain the Proposed Blanket Bill and equal rights are procured, the question arises whether the husband should be forced to provide full support for his family. Why shouldn't the self-sup- porting wife be responsible for at least half their support? “Another problem which is going to confront the modern woman is what she shall do with her own pay en- velope when she is married,” pointed out Mes. Spencer, “In the old days the housewife gave a good por- tion of her time to running and managing her home. Even if she were fortunate enough to have a ser- vant she supervised and really stood at the head of things, but if she is drawing @ pay envelope she usually has this work hired. Natuyally enough, her husband foots these bills, but the question arises: Should she calmly pocket her ‘own meney’ and keep tt for herself while her husband pays all the expenses and puts all his earnings into the ‘family fund’? “Please understand that | am en- tirely neutral on these subjects,”’ confessed Mrs. Spencer, “but [ merely want to point out the conditions which this new woman with so much freedom must face. With her new rights and privileges are coming new responsibilities, and it is well for her to see them tn the beginning. For several years the labor wel- fare legislation has been trying to protect women working along indus- trial lines, to protect potential! motherhood and to give women the lightest load, but just what equal rights will do along this line no one knows “Many men used to cheat their creditors by placing their homes and property in their wives’ hands, Per- haps this too will be changed with ‘women’s new freedom “I am not sure but that there are Sg. mumber of women who would tar Where Should Man’s Chivalry Stop When Woman Shares His Rights « SHOULD A WIFE HELP HER HUSBAND PAY THE RENT? prefer to share their pay envelope in maintaining the home than to dwell within the confines of four walls,"" I suggested to Mrs. Spencer. ‘“‘Not only would such women be happier but isn't ft possible that woman's ability to earn her own pay envelope is going to make it possible for her to marry the man she loves rather than the ‘good provider’? “That is one of the privileges which goes along with her rights,’ smiled Mrs. Spencer. “It is true the type of man most desired for hus- band a few years ago was the good provider. Now, women being eco- nomically free, are to a large extent the selective agents, and they will choose, and thereby create, the type of map they desire.

O’Har: the higher qualittes have become a part .of our masculine ideal, and I ~ believe that women in many instances will marry for love rather than money."" “And the men?" I asked. “They are more chivalrous than ever,"’ concluded the lecturer, “‘not only in the fact that they grant us equal rights in almost everything and even turn to us for aid, but because @ man always admires progression. It is therefore up to us to see that with our rights we assume some of the responsibilities. We can't stand up and sit down at the same time. With our rights and new freedom come certajn demands from husband, children and family funds, and it is up to us to meet them.” —FOLLOWING MARK TWAIN An Innocent Abroad Do Their Crap in Berlin Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Company.

If you don't believe it, ask Dr. Henry Dwight Chapin, one of the foremost authorities on chil- dren He told me that in an expertence of years he found where several babies were reared together under the most scientific conditions and with the hig:h- est medical care, these children pined away and many of them died be- cause they did not have that some- thing that ts vital to the human child —tenderness, mother love. As against this, children under the very poorest conditions thrive when they have mother love as against the most scientific methods used. In this day and age there should be no such thing as an unwanted child vere should be no pauper child. Tho strong arm of the Gov- ernment must step in when the mother or father fails to care for the child, and se that somebody gets it who will mother it. To mo it is the highest atm of clvi- Hzation—this getting the children where they are really wanted and where they are seen and heard often.
