Uterary tastes among the critics 3iave changed. & A few months back she was the Ktarget of much comment, the subject of much type-setting. Criticism of the 1!21 flapper was quite the mode pf the hour, Hut it seems that the male of the species is equally deadly, which is to say that he Is going to the dogs, and taking the futuro of the nation -with him, willy-nilly. Many people are saying so, public ly in bold type. The Times printed many ittters on the subject, all start ed by "Old Etonian," branding the male youth of the day in many ways, most of which boiled down to "im pertinent young puppy." One gath ers that the youth of 1921 had little of the proper respect for "Old Etonians" There were several of the latter writ ing to the papers from the writing rooms of their silent clubs before the crusade ended. "The MrtMier of One of Them" takes up their defense. She admits her son "After Every Meal m US 3 ever the this fioo&?

After all these are the things that really matter, and I fall to find the intolerance of authority that most of your correspondents complain of." To the JX'fense of Youth Sir Sidney Low, himself of the old school, and a critic and publicist of high standing, comes to the defense of today. He says that "elderly gen tlemen" have been erupting into the newspapers that it is "very sad about the manner, behavior and character of tho young folk about them." "For my part," he says, "I think some of the differences are not symp toms of decadence but improvement. "Youthful manners are a little rough and 'casual' all modern manners are. When they meet a young lady they say: 'Cheerio, old thing,' instead of '.Madam, your most obedient,' or something of that kind. They smoke pipes in drawing rooms and cigarettes everywhere; their speech is largely made up of rather meaningless slang. "Nevertheless, I do not think their tastes and morals are worse than those of their predecessors; I think they are better. "Thirty or forty years ago boys at Oxford used to entertain each other at wine parties, sometimes colloquial ly, but correctly described 'drunks.' "Our young fellows no longer care for such gross, animal enjoyment. They do not, I believe, consider it witty to exchange horrible 'smoking room stories.' "They are not respeetiful to ladles," say their critics. "In one sense per haps not. They hava more oppor tunity of meeting girls than their futhers before them, and meeting them on a footing of familiarity and easy intimacy. Platonic IVlendshiiM "This camaraderie may be carried too far; but there is a good deal to be said for it. "It dilutes that overmastering sense of sex which was an obsession with men and women of the past. Young people can he friendly without being disturbed by the thought that they may become husbands or wives or lovers. "It did not seem to occur to any body in those days that men and women of marriageable age could have any interest in ono another save of tho matrimonial or the amorous kind. Hut tho modern girl is not pre-occu-plod with love and marriage. She has so many other things to think about her career, her intellectual and ma terial activities, her amusements. "She may be-.so keenly Interested in a young man as a partner on the tennis court, but it seldom occurs to her to consider him as a possible partner for life. The young man can regard her with the same detachment, to him woman is neither a goddess nor a domestic angel, nor a perilous en chartress, but Just an average human being. ".Modern young men are alert, open minded, active, courageous who can doubt that, eager and quick to learn, impatient of social snobbishness and artificial class barriers. "Their fathers before them were not braver men, or keener sportsmen, or better citizens. On the whole, a cred itable lot of young fellows who will do very well."

Judge Graham suggested marriage. "I am willing and take this oppor tunity of proposing marriage," Furch responded to the court's suggestion. Rut Frances Anzengruber sadly but firmly shook her head. "It is too late. Judge," she said. "For years I pleaded with him to marry me. He put me off. He refus ed. Now I refuse to allow him to force me into a marriage that is dis tasteful to me!" Judge Graham is known as the great reconciler. For once he was puz zled. He sparred for time and laid the case over for a day. Then he awarded the children to the mother, with a provision that the father must pay for their support. Judgment Favors jlotlier. "I awarded the children to the mother," said the iudge, "because I know that they will bng to her a realization of the debt she owes them the right of their father's name. I believe I understand the woman. She was capable of a great love. There fore she is capablo of a deep hate. I believe that if a man could gain such a love and devotion in the past he can regain it if he deserves it. I want to bring them together again. Frances Anzengruber is a strong character. Hut no matter how deeply she is now hurt there must remain something of her old love. No wopian who has ev er loved a man as she has can ever forget him. I will proceed on this philosophy in my attempt to effect a reconciliation." Will Frances Anzengruber change her m'nd? Will her love for her two children eventually result in her taking of vows that will bind her to the man she no longer loves? She thinks not. "Iwould be doing them a greater in justice to marry this man and bring them up In an atmosphere of hatred and contempt," she says. "Marriage is a sacred thing, a bind ing obligation," she continued. "That is what he told me fourteen years ago. when I first knew him. We wore swethearts for five years before this closer relation existed. John believed in free love, trial marriages. I broke with him once, nine years ago, because of his belief. Rut I loved him tod well, was too fond of him. and so we made it up. It was then that I consented to live with him as his wife. , nltd for Marriage "Never a week passed but that I would plead with him to marry me. 'John, haven't ire tried this arrange ment long enough?' I would ask. to look after it. I wanted to be in San Francicco with him, to be with him, near him. He refused, saying It was cheaper for us to stay out there; that we were an expense, a burden and that he had to save all that he could for the future. "Then I saw the price I must pay for my folly. I would be taken care of, of that I was certain. But I would never have" the confidence, the love, the respect of the man for whom 1 had been willing to sacrifice every thing. At first I bore it patiently. Three years went by. The children began to take notice of conditions. " 'Why doesn't papa taka us places like other children's fathers take them?'ihey would ask repeatedly. Proud of Motherhood , " 'Some day he will." I would tell them, hoping against hope for that day, which I knew in my heart would never come. "Last December I could stand it no longer. 1 put the children with a frierd of mine and went to work. Their father did not come near me. I did not know that he cared, thought that he had forgotten us until I was summoned to appear in court and learned that he was seeking the cus tody of my children. They are mine. I gave them birth, and they can bear my name. "In the meantime I am holding up my head and looking the world in the face for the first time in nine years."
