of young girls do not amount to nunc than a few cents a

From tho American point of view it seems rather laugh
nlile that the Trench should take the matter so seriously;
hut nothing that may lead to n falling off in France's popu-'
lation can he n lalighing matter to her so long as there re
mains hostile feeling in Germany. j
Tho other question has to do with n proposal in ths
chamber of dc-pulicr, to strike from the civil code .the law
requiring wives to obey their husbands. Whether this is
planned ns an added inducement to girls to marry is not
stated in the cable dispatch reporting tho news, but it is
Faid the married senators are much agitated over the pro
posal and are solidly opposing it, while tho bachelors of the
chamber favor it. ,
The tendency in the United Stales undoubtedly is in the
U'liile it is reunited in the marriage vmv in moat lji.m-:;, ;,ih
of respect for n time-honored custom, it is much to be ques
tioned if any but an almost negligible minority of Ameri
can brides feel under moral compulsion to obey their hus
bands in the sense in which it was originally intended that
they should. Requiring the wife to obey implies that the
husband is tho piaster and thp wife an inferior, r.ut that
ie contrary to the prevalent idea.
If Trench girls nre as high-spirited as their American
sisters, the French parliament might just as well strike out
the rule of obedience; for wives will not be influenced hy
it, but will consult their own wishes as to whether they
shall obey or not.
