SLAVES OF LOVE. Do we own those whom we love? 'Does the mere fact that we entertain) an affection for a certain individual make him or her our slave? Most parents regard their children as their personal property, and feel ~ 'that they have just as much right to y please with them as they would with a horse or any other ani- mal that they own. They believe that they have the right to decide their children's lives for them. Nine times out of ten, when you hear parents speak of their children having been a great disap- pointment to them, or of their chil- dren having given them a great deal| of trouble, it merely means that the! children have insisted on doing the things they wanted to do in the world, instead of the things that their fath- ers and mothers wanted them to do. An ambitious mother considers her- self ill-used if she cannot induce her daughter to marry a rich suitor in- stead of the poor man she happens to And how many men are failures be- cause their fathers forced them into being business men when nature in- . tended them for lawyers or doctors, or who are unsuccessful lawyers or doctors when they were designed for mechanics? Yet these fathers love their sons. They desire them to pros- per and be happy, but they feel that their affection makes their boys their property, and gives them the right to do with them as they please and dis- pose of them as they see fit. "Tt is because parents feel that their children belong to them, and that they have no right to live their own lives in their own way, that many young people become anxious to get away from home, because that is the only way they can break their shackles, It is to get away from mother's petty tyranny that girls marry the first man who asks them.

Too many men believe that - their ives belong to them, and that they have a right to their services without pay, and to dictate to them exactly what they shall think and do, and how shall spend their time. And there are women who believe that they have a complete claim on their husbands, that they have a right "30 take all that their poor slave can earn, and to supervise every act of They would be horrified at the idea of the man to whom they are married thinking he had any right to the money he makes, or to take any pleasure in his own way, or exercise any of 'the privileges of a free man.
