Abolition of the double standard ot morals for men and women; legitima tion of Illegitimate children by giv Inr them the names of their fathers and making- the parexlts- responsible for their start in life; a domestic court for the adjustment of family differ ences; an industrial farm for the up lift of women of the underworld. These and other suggestions for the reforma tion of the social system were made yesterday at the institute of the Pa cific Coast Rescue and Protective So clety at the First Methodist Church, Third and Taylor streets. " " There was a good attendance at both afternoon and evening: meetings. Judge Stevenson spoke at the night session on "Is It Right lor a City to Abolish Its Segregated District With out Providing a Suitable Place for the Future Moral Betterment and Good Citizenship of Its Inmates?" He said in part: "It is said that prostitution has exist ed always. I grant it. but so have murder, arson and theft. Who advo cates a segregated district for murder ers. . firebugs and thieves? Who dis. putes the undoubted right of society to rise and overthrow perpetrators of these offenses? Who will contend that action should be delayed until some plans had been made for their moral betterment? I know these comparisons are odious; but I state them as illus trative of the point that society is un der no determined obligation to consult the convenience of those who have placed themselves outside the law, .

It was suggested aa a resort for the women of the underworld that a great industrial farm be established, where they can get away from their life ot ''4'- v5' ' GERALDINE FARRAR. BY JOSEPH M.

Dr. Emma F. A. Drake said that graded home should be instituted for the women that were driven out of the redllght district, as there are many degrees of badness.

These were the subjects discussed at tlemen, to convey us to a place of tne arternoon session, Dr. Emma I Bftfety. Some of them looked like Drake presided and many interesting brigands in a grand opera scene, but addresses and much discussion made the ones with the most picturesque tne meeting memoraDie. Miss Clara Butler, Mrs. D. C Burns and Mrs. Lucy Faxon Additon con tributed papers, telling of their ex periences as workers and made many suggestions. All seemed to agree that law should be passed making the fathers of children born out of wed lock responsible for their support and that the father's name should be given to the child. Mrs. Burns said that nAfnnn Mnrtm DIooeort With she considered it a crime for a mother UUIUHG, mat Mil i isaow wnui to place a child in an institution and give it an assumed name. She also! urged tne extension oi tne age limit for girls. Mrs. Mary L. Stevens suggested that the cause of all the existing trouble was the double standard. Her opin ion was indorsed by several speakers. W. G. MacLarea Gives Views. "We want to relieve the state of the responsibility of caring for the illegltl mate child and place that responsibil ity where it belongs, on the father of that child. W e want to stop this im position on the taxpayers." said W. G. MacLaren, who has had wide experience In rescue work and in caring for the unfortunate mothers and children.

"Oh," and Miss Farrar dimpled pret tily, ' You must not ask me to tell all my secrets. It would not do to destroy ail my romance at once, you know. "It was stated when you came from Europe recently that yon said you would not marry any Duke, and that If you married, you'd marry an Amer lean." Miss Farrar looked at me with I don't - you-wish-you-mlght-know-lt ex. pression, and looked wise. "Matrimony and the stage, do not mix very well," she observed, "I could not act, and have a domestic life also, with that which usually follows to the lot of a woman who chooses a domestic life. If artistes say that they can marry and still find time for domestic duties, I suspect they are talking for advertising purposes. Tou state that one artiste (name not mentioned) said lately that 'with the arrival of every new haby, a new note was tacked on to her voloe? Maybe she meant a bank note? What nonsensel I think know the woman you mean. One morning at the Metropolitan, New York, we were Just about finishing long rehearsal, when a little daughter or tne artiste In question came on the stage and said: 'Mother, when are you coming home? Tou didn't leave, any- thing for our breakfast. Then, since you aren't to marry, the only kind of love you know about la stage love." The idea," said Miss Farrar. almost indignantly. An unmarried woman may know the delight of real love.
