Abstract
Looking for a possible explanation for the debated existence of a correlation between period and eccentricity in binary orbits (of which a diagramme is given in fig. 1.] we made the assumption that the orbital evolution of the binaries could be the consequence of a substantial mass-loss of their components even when these components are late type main sequence stars.
