Comment. - - and
Discomment
We hasten to disclaim any rela
tionship with Mia Jane llurr, who
seems to be stirring up a fearful
rumpus In London due to certain
"advanced" Ideas she entertains on
the subject of feminine Indepen
dence. We will confess that her
Ideas are appealing, In a certain
sense, but thpy wouldn't do for Ne
braska. It Is probably true that
Jane nils)' not b- n-'.xious to claim
kinship with us, but that's another
question.
The mere mention of feminine In
dependence and Jane In the same
breath might lead one to believe that
she Is a militant suffragette. Thank
heaven, she's a bug of another color.
Jane writes for a living, and there
fore It Is altogether possible that she
does not practice what she preaches,
any more than the young lady who
conducts the cooking recipe column,
or the old maid who gives complete
directions on roaring children.
Jane's hobby Is the emancipation of
women, not from corsets or high
heels, but from the tyranny of man
the chief man-made Institution, marriage.

In KiiRland and Australia he ap
petired In n variety of offerings rar.g

to mu&iral comedy. Americans know
hlni especially for his sympathetic
Interpretation of well known songs.
Ilia clear baritone Is admirably eul
ed to these real melodies, and there
1h a trnc Scotch burr on his tongue
which makes his rendition of those
wonderful old tunes carry you
stfaiKht back to the purple heather.
Few artists in the musical world can!
put Into these Scotch songs the deep
sympathy and fine feeling that Mr.
Ellison gives them.
Mr. KHIson holds to the theory
that "We should continually strive
for the best In life and for the bet
terment of our fellowmen." Surely
It Is this tneory that has made (llm
Klliwon one of the best loved singers
in the world, for his songs seem al
ways to carry a message of cheer and
happiness.
Friday's concert promises to be
one of the best of the season, for the
famous baritone Is feeling very tit
owing to his strenuous athletic exis
tence for Glen Ellison is an enthu
siastic huntsman, fisherman and
horseman.
Jane, along with Fanny Hurst,
whose marriage got considerable
publicity a few months ago, is advo
eating the adoption by Britain of
the feminist apartment house. "All
women are sick to death of marri
age," says Jane. "Revolt Is spread
ing. I am only one among many
who carries the deadly germ among
her sisters, and I succeed in inoc
mating at leaBt three hundred
women every year." On the theory
that while women may want a home
and husband, "they want a husband
when they want him, and they want
a home of their own making," Jane
argues for the feminist style apart
ment house, which is described as
follows:
"These apartments consist of liv
ing room, bedroom and bathroom,"
explains Miss Durr. "No husband is
permitted to live with his wife and
no wife with her husband. They
may have apartments side by side
but their happiness Is to be safe-
guarded by fireproof walls and
locks. There will be a nursery on
the roof with professional mothers in
charge."
Of course, Jane Is meeting with
resistance, which was to be exnected
of London, and was probably Just
what she was hoping to find. One
stalwart defender of the faith
writes: "Where does love come in
In Miss Burr's scheme of things?
Who delegated to her the authority
to state that all women are sick to
death of marriage. And whoever
heard of love wanting to be safe
guarded , by fireproof walls and
locks?" And another writer, a
woman, cattishly calls atentlon to the
fact that Miss Burr didn't have
sense enough to accept a good man
when she had the chance. It seems
that Jane had bragged of turning
down two, men because their Ideas
didn't coincide with hers.
If ever we find ourselves unable to
make a living pounding out copy fo
a newspaper, we shall go Into the
business of being a psychologist, and
will organize a movement among
men to do away with something tha
has hitherto been regarded as indis
pensable. It ought to be easy fo
write such rot as Jane gets awny
wfth. If Just a trifle daring, with a
trace of sex Interest in it, we ought
to get by. Here's some more of
Jane's stuff (and there's no partic
ular harm In reading it):
J
"All women are sick to death of
marriage. Our mothers are sick of it
and their mothers were before them,
but the lie has to be kept up, the Illu
sion maintained, for the safety of tm
coming generation. But Is it safety
to push our young girls and boys off
Into something that we know before
hand has made us wretched? Of
course it isn't safety. It is disaster
of the blackest variety.
"The program laid down for the
future woman will take gallantry
and health to carry out. To begin
with, we've got to quit working the
men on that threadbare business of
being the mother of their children.
We've got to be trained to Jobs, and
we've got to learn how to be cast
aside. Even the newest of new
women Jilts a do ten men, but howls
to heaven If one deserts her. But
this is because she is still suffering
under the delusion that her market
value has decreased. It has not de
creased unless she Is a dependent
woman.
"The modern woman feels herself
pulled both ways. She reaches for
ward for freedom and at the same
time turns her eyes back longingly
towards home and babies and what
she thinks a husband ought to be.
There should be no more girls Sore
for a hundred years. But what are
we working women to do with our
babies after we have tiiem." We are
.going to tarn them over to profes
sional mothers."
