to defend her husband's action for di
vorce , filed yesterday.
"I have permanently come out of my
doll's house , " she said , "but I trust I
will not be lost In a wilderness that Is
somewhat unexplored and unchartered ,
"Two years ago Mr. Sinclair and I
decided that we were utterly unsuited
for each other , and that I should be
free to find someone else. But I stay
ed married to him and it was a great
mistake , because It is difficult for a
woman to pursue a new love when she
is bound up so much in an old one.
"Mr. Sinclair Is an essential monog
amist , without having any of the quali
ties which an essential monogamist
should possess. He Is over-developed
intellectually , and has no tlmo to de
vote to a wife. The true proportions
of human relationship fade into insig
nificance beside his work.
"Now a woman Is Instinctively a
monogamist when she finds the right
man. Her hunger for her real mate is
so strong that she Is bound to search
for him.
"It ought not to be made so difficult
for a woman to assert her freedom. It
would not be if men were less selfish
Men look on women as their property
and at least nine out of ten men Insisl
that a woman bo chaste before they
marry her.
"Mr. Sinclair and I are utterly dif

bralc temperament ; I have the artistic
Greek temperament But wo are good
friends.
"Harry Kemp and I are very con/
genial. But I don't know whether 1
