WHAT T!!F FRFNOII WOMEN WANT. French women liu ve apparently 'i very clear :im under the leadorshio of Mine. I'.'i.mif-i'iiTiv formulated a program \v 1 1 i > * 1 1 'hey have prt -sen ted to ili- "Winn ui'.t llighi" group in I' nlia Mi.'iit. to be arii. I iTjVyi as occasion pre 1 1 1 ^ itseU'. In I in* lino of civil rights they de mand a favorable vt?l ?? in the Chamber of I>oi>imk-r on the proposition <>f a law tr vinir nil wnnn ii of age, and not do prived of their j-ivll rights. the right to act as a witness on all certificates and civil documents: they also claim the nomination of a committee of forty-four members to reconsider and reform the entire civil code, and especially to niodi "V ?i>|icl.> x (which ?:ivs that every Frenchman shall he possessed of civil rights,) making it read: "Kvery person without distinction of sc.v shall he pos sessed of civil rights." When a French woman marries a for eigner, or when a foreign woman mar ries a Frenchman, the woman shall al wnyfi preserve her own nationality. The women cla I m the simplification of the forum 1 1 ties of marriage, the suppression of the first section of article 108, which enacts that a married woman may have no other domicile than that of her hus band : that the power of tho mother be equal to that or the father; and thnt in cases of dissent a council formed of male and female members of the family be al lowed to arbitrate. Hut the most 1m I port a nt clauses of tho program are by far the ftd'owing, in which not onlv hus bands will refuse to concur, but of which the members of tho weaker sex themselves will not approve. These are. suppression of all penalties in cases of adultery : the possibility of obtain. ntr a divorce by mutual consent: the abolition of regulated prostitution: and. when a woman finds herself in the necessity to brim? up one or more children, she shall receive a subsidy from the State. The economic rights of the women arc. to be. according to their program, not a particle loss sweeping. They demand that the Chamber of Deputies vot^ fa vorably on a project of law giving all electoral rights to women for election on all tho tribunals of commerce Fqual work with equal salary is to be recog nized bv the State and applied to all posts in the administration of tho coun try. And, thnt all deposits made iji a a vines bank l>y a woman may not ho ? i, 'r-i >? ii without her authorization, tho husband being denied tho right to place an opposition against tho wife's withdrawal. This last clause will strike every one as being most just, and more so in France than any when? else, for the French woman has the <l.ial qualities of being a hard worker and a good money saver. Their mixed rights call for special classes to prepare young women for the different f^sa/ninaf ions, ho that they may be in a conwltion to compete for the dif ferent governmental posts; the right to sit on a jury; to bo a member of a con soil do famille; to be judge on the tribu nals of commence, or a member of the council of prudhoinmes. Finally, they de mand the abrogation of article 42 of tho penal code, by which all women were as similated to culprits. The municipal rights are to cmifor alb electoral powers possessed by men, and eligibility in case of election. As far as political rights are concern ed, the women leave themselves in U\o hands of the parliamentary committed, in the hope that tho committee will coi> 1 1 * i 1 1 > th in tho right of being ap pointed to all public functions, and place them on a level footing with men in all that concerns legislative elections, and eligibility in case of election.
