sidered Popular.
In almost al the recent attempts To
explsin the unpoprIarity of marriage
it seems To have been taken for granted
that women's feelings with regard to
il are uniform. Il IS certainly not
true, however. that sill women are
waiting with .'bated breath and whis-
pering humbleness for an advanta-
geous offer of marriage. The feelings
of women are changing, and the old
ideas IS to women and their social
functions can no longer be taken for
granted. Woman is now a worker
and thinker. and marriage for edu-
Gated women is only one of many pos
sible occupations; and educated wom-
en- may be excused If they regard Il
the least desirable of them. A woman
who becomes teacher, who enters
one of the professions. or takes com
merciaI position lives 3 life of dignity
and freedom In politics. in lftera-
ture. in science. in art and in social
intercourse she has 3 thousand oppor-
tunities of distinction and pleasure
which would be denied her if she be-
came mother. She is not at the
mercy of mans moods and humors.
She is not nurse and a drudge, but
for all practical purposes man
and citizen. She mixes freely with
men; she profits by their converse
ton; she joins them in their enjoy
ment, and she co-operates with them
in their social duties. Her life
is a life of freedom. variety. energy
and resource Her character becomes
strengthened by the demands upon
her; her intellect is enlarged by the
problems she is called upon to solve;
and IS new and more important duties
devolve upon her she is qualified to ac-
cept them with courage and discharges
them with skill In word, the edu-
Gated women of to-day prefer freedom
and the friendship of men to the prac-
tical slavery of the marriage bond.
and in proportion as other careers are
opened up to them it may De safely

Australia is a rich and growing country.

M. Ives, who for the past three years
has been in the antipodes as manager for

for space, which he will be pleased to
send free on application to him at Roch-

ton not later than July 1st next.
