WOMEN STIRRED BY PLEA TO D. A. R. MEMBERS THAT EACH GIVE FOUR BABIES

Dear lady, you maintnln that ftian •houk) wear A weddlnc rinc, and, a« yon chanc¬ ed you^ styla Prom Mbm to Mrn., thlah that be should bear Ruch outward itymbol to^. For- fflve the nnlle Which I can scarce reprens. It Is a tribute to your sweet Ingenu- ouanesa.
. Mrn. means "Ml.<itresn." It is not enough? flhould you call 'Vaster" him that la yoiur alave? \
Tou know hla talk of InrAnhltk In but bluff; TIs up to you to teach him to behave.
And, tf he sportn a ring,
'TIa through bla none, poor chap, that he ahould wear the thing. C. E. R.
I/ondon, April St.—Rhall they be branded? If so, how?
Columnn of valuable newfl print are being given to the nubject. Judging: by the number of letterfl the edltoni receive the controversy muat rank among what In known In the trade aa "circulation builders," fmr a lot of folk must be buying newopapers to fol¬ low the fl^ht and aee what the decision will be.
The subject of course, In MAN.
To be more speclflc—the married man.
Why ahould he go hin way, indlntln- gulshable from the unfettered male, while his spouse wearn a plain gold mark of servitude? The origin of the question Is lost In comparative anti¬ quity. No one, remembeni exactly who or what newspaper flrst propounded the inquiry. And, no far, none knows where'it \wlll end. Master and Mbitcr.
Let the unmarried man continue to be known aa "Master" until he In mar¬ ried. Then let him become "Mister."
8uch in one suggestion.
Others cite perfectly lo^c&l reason- InKs against the convention of chang¬ ing the wife's name and making no change in that of the man.
A facetious male, who confesses that he has worn a wedding /ing himself ' "tar^ twenty years, nuggesti that the only sure .solution Is to brand married men with an "M" on the forehead. While an editorial writer gravely dls- cusnen thla and that side of the nubject and concludes wllh a warning—pre-sum- ably to lirilain'a millions of nurplus women—that If the young bachelor is to l>e branded at the altar he'll very probably decide to remain a bachelor.
And l^tly Tree thinks it's all u.se- leas talk.
"There needs no l>adge of servitude," she writes. "There needs no plain gold circlet to alngle out the married nuin. Be Is unmistakable.
"It In not that he la particularly care¬ worn. I have known men married and not careworn. Nor Is he pretematur- ally gay—though there have been men both gay and married? There does not brood upon his brow tbat undettnabte expression—half smug, half furtive, that we know so well.
"Ehlfflce to say that married men pretending to be unmarried could not deceive a child.
"But alnca the custom of husbands wearins weddbi* rlnga has evidently come to stay, let us at least observe It systematically.
"Let us have a hoop of gold, platl num, silver or Iron (according to the means and status of the wearer) upon ths third finger of the left hand «f every married man.
"If, unhappily, he becomes a widow¬ er, a circlst of pearls (Orient, imita¬ tion or . Christmas Cracker) sbould adorn the second linger; and If, still mors unhappily, again a widower, a ring, worn In addition to tho other two, upon tho flrst Anger should bo "de rlguer." And (or this I know of no prettier dewlca than a blend of plaited hair.
"In the caa* (and this ths unhap- jilest ot all) of a wMower determined nc^er to marry again, a single dia¬ mond. Ilko a bricht tear petrified, should be settled upon the thumb.
"And for the henpecked husban^ but no! I never could see the afll<y between the nose and the ring."

"l^ua Kathryn Smith Johnson, of IjO« AngHen^ charges her sister D. A. R.'s. who have been in convention in Washington. '
Give four children ttt the Republic, the Calieomta member itrg^s each feminine descendant of pionepTs.
Don't permit the sturdy strain of our native stock to die out; advance Amerlciinlsatlon by increaslnc the pos¬ terity of the hardy ptlgrima; conserve their f«rly fortitude, fto the Weatern delegate offers her resolution.
Vartous comment ban grown out of the suggestion of Kathryn Smith John¬ son, coming from fellow members, clubwomen, mothers and women by Whom the care of children has been taken up as a social problem. AmonK them last Is Mrs. Oliver Ilarrlman, a mother and a philanthropist, who ap¬ proves the resolution. Mrs. Harrfanao Favora Plan.
"t think the Idea In a splendid one," said Mrs. Harrlman recently. "It Is a good thing to realise and put Into words the responsibility tluit Is due the republic.
"¦^o rear children In America Ideals Is a flne ambition for women and it In the thine that makes life happiest.
"Tbertf in no real life for a woman without children. That In all a woman's life. It Is an excellent idea to make wives feel thla responsibility to the country, as well an to them¬ selves and to their families. I hope the resolution Is adopted by the D. A. R."
Some members of this organization agree with Mrn. Harrlman's views and aome others do not. ' 8oaiT« ef Eavy.
Mra. Blmon Baruch, regent of the KnlcJcerbocker Chapter of the D. A. R., heartily endorses the resolution.
"I agree with the iden that the de¬ scendants of tjie pioneers should help to perpetuate their rqioe. I am happy to say that I am the mother of four glorious sons myself.
"Every woman envies the mother of chll^en. We may occasionally feel sorry for the very poor woman with a large family, but as a usual thing the childless woman covets the little ont^a of the happy mother.
"Her Joy wDl come afterward to the mother of many. There wlU be re- compensee later for the woman whft has endured hardships for her off¬ spring. They bring the greater meas¬ ure of happiness.
"We should have proper training for motherhood. Not the promiscuous street corner knowledge of parenthood, hut careful training given in our churches.
"Mothers should rear their children carefully, be good mothers, assist little ones to good citizenship."
But Just because one U a P. A. R. does not necessarily signify that one agraaa with other national members who may happen to offer resolutions.
Mrs. Oveldo M. Bostwick, member of the Washington Helghta Chapter of the D. A. R., eocpreases herself as grdatty opposed to the adopting of any such resolution.
"I think that such action Is an Im¬ pertinence to all the members and to every American woman," said Mrs. Ba#twlck. ,
''Family life and the also ot a family are personal matters—they cannot be regulated by adopting resolutions.
"I realise that our foreign popula¬ tion seefflii to have more children than the native-born Americans and those descended from the early settlers, but I do not think any good American Woman ts shlrkl&c her duties.
"Who ia this Kathryn Johnaon? Is ahe married or single and how many children has sheT
"Women are latelligent enoutrh to realise that they should have children and rear then properly, but to say that every woman should have four 1« ridiculous.
"No woman wants any interference Id her own personal affaira—she re- senU tt.
"To hear about thla makes me wish I had gone to tbe convention in Wash- tngtoa. I certainly would have .some- thlne to aay against such a resolution. aayrt Wanea Know Their Duty.
"The American race won't die out. Our women are as good mothers, aa re¬ sponsible in their views on duty to country and family as any In the world. And they are patriotic enough nat to want the newcomers to our fAoref to beoeme the only perpetual- ori of our race.-
"But the suggeetkMi that each woman pled^ herself to bring four children In¬ to tlia world, regardless of circum- stances. Is pimply outrageous. Such nawluttons and Ideas belong In the liMired confines 6t the tamily circle and not elsewhere.
"X ha* been a ibother twice, an^ have lost one child,' 'Mrs. Bostwick added. "I believe every American wife WUl Wish to have children and that we go net nee4 to wenrx aboat tbe future of our oountry."
