AT the present time. a popu lar pre-
sumption exists that all girls wish ~
marry, and fail 10 do so only because
they lack an eligible opportunity.

Home Journal This presumption ex-
lists on account OF the obvious fact that
women. being able with difficulty to
support themselves, have in general "a
greater material interest in marriage
than men have. Surely there can be few
incidents Of an unmarried woman's con-
dition more exasperating than her
knowledge that because this is the un-
deniable fact il is vain for her TO en-
pect to be popularity credited with the
voluntary choice OF her condition.
She must endure with "a smile. how
ever she may rage within. the coarse
Jest or inuendo to which it would be

ism. by establishing the economic in
dependence OF women without refer
encc to their single or married state
will destroy the presumption referred
TO by making marriage no more obvi-
ously desirable TO one sex than to an
other.

said there was no living man who could
predict accurately the outcome. The
election would be very close and both
parties expect to win. He said there
was no question but the republicans OF
Montana would support Blaine at the
