By FRANCES ENGLAND.
An interview with Miss Acnes Ron

I her disconcerting habit of laying tin

resigned to hear the usual thing Miss
Repplier answers with the unusual, and
just when our is braced for the unex
pected she answers with the natter?
of-faci usual thing.
She has a gift of satire, too. as those
who have read her essays and her con?
tributions to favored magasines know.
I found her at her desk at 'JO,',,"? Chest?
nut Street, Philadelphia, a gray haired,
scholarly looking woman with a
brusque manner. She greeted mr with

liniiioraiii? but No Polygamy,
I began by iiskmg Miss Repplier
whether she thought polygamy would
be a result of the war. Learned men
and women have written about it, and
' 1 expected Miss Repplier to deplore it
She didn't.
"Isn't that silly?" ?he returned
promptly. "Of course polygamy can't
be a result of the war. The laws of the
country don't permit polygamy. There
will be immorality after theVrar, 1 ad?
mit. There always is ? low-ring of
standard? after any war. It was so in
?.his country, but it is silly to call it
polygamy. This immorality which fol
lows after war is only temporary, and
the country soon recovers its higher
standards."
