Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, for
merly Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson,
has been called the typical new woman.
Mrs. Gilman was, and probably is still, a
great believer in the theory that woman
Rhnuld be emancipated, and her book.
"Woman and Economics," is a power- and not simply love our own
ful presentation of her position. She
believes in the home, but that woman
should come out of it more into the
world, and not waBte her energies on
the petty details of housekeeping, hav
ing to beg money from her husband,
and getting her board and clothes as
alms. At the same time, she always
said sweet things about mother-love.
and tenderness, but she tnougbt that
all the world needed a mother's love al
moet as much as children needed it.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman's career is
called to mind by her recent marriage.
She married, as Charlotte Perkins, a man A face that will nevermore know,
named Stetson . He is Baid to have been Though it died in its pride,

river-burner by any means. She was
burning up with genius and, as one of
her friends put it, it soon became appar
ent that the two were not suited. Mrs.
Stetson felt that family cares were too
heavy for her. Her genius was in dan
ger of being quenched. Mr. Stetson's
income was limited, and, perhaps, hn
waB limited, too. So she finally deter
mined that her dearest and most inti
mate friend, Miss Grace Ellery Chan
nicg of Boston who, by the way, is a
dranddaughter of William Ellery Chan
ning, the famous Unitarian preacher,
would make a far better wife for Mr.
Stetson, and a far better mother for the
little daughter than she herself could
ever dream of being. Continuing the
tale. Mrs. Stetson's friend says, that to
think was to act, and Mrs. Stetson in
vited Miss Channing to visit her at Pas
adena. She did everything possible to
promote friendship between Miss Chan
ning and her husband, and Mr. Stetson
was not elow to discover that she was a
very lovely and lovable girl. Then the
matter was calmly talked over between
husband and wife; a separation was
agreed upon, a divorce quickly procured
and, after a suitable lapse of time, Mr.
Stetson married Miss Channing. Mrs.
Stetson that was, was present at the
wedding, and accompanied the newly-
married pair on their wedding Journey
