4 Bachelors Opinion.

n
asking how can woman tell what
kind of a man will make the best
husband. The following is mans
answer. We would judge that he
has never been in love:
No man or woman is without fault
of some kind. Love should be the
chief prompter in 8. woman's selec-
ton of husband. Ii she finds that
the man she loves is proffigate or
unworthy of her then she should en-
deayor to obtain the man for whom
she has the greatest respect on ac
count of his many good qualities.
She may, in time. learn TO love him
better than she did the first one.
Do not allow handsome face or
figure TO steal away your heart, as
most women, and men, too, are en-
clined to do. Beauty is only ephem-
eral, while good qualities will last,
with proper appreciation, until
death.
am bachelor, aged thirty, and
will continue to live in single-bless-
edness until | can obtain sensible
woman for my wife. and there are
thousands, yes. hundreds of the same
opinion. The solution of the prob
lem of disposing of the girls will be
solved that day-whieh may never
come-on which the fair sex in gen.
eral conclude to marry men for their
moral worth, and not for their beau
ty, wealth, title, artistic accomplish
ments or popularity. Silly women
nowadays fall in love with and mar
~ men who have winning and Sc
ductive ways-''heart- breakers"
Honest men of frank opinion, who
will answer them candidly, have no
place in such women's affections.
These women want fiattery and adu-
lation and dislike to be rebuked for
doing or saying anything injurious
to others

great many men are of my mind on
this subject. In the first place.

comes up to my expectations of what
a woman should be and do in her own

wealth would play no part with me,
but if she had either or both of them

wife on their account. | am still

the reason | have not met her is be-
cause L am somewhat of recluse.
All the women | came in contact
with seemed to me to be too selfish,
caring more for the latest style of
hat or dress than for household du-
ties.
The women teachers in the public
schools of st. Paul, Mimi, are to re-
ceive the same salaries as the men
teachers, for the same work. This is
a recent decision of the School Board
of that city. st. Paul is the first city
In the Northwest, if not in the United
States, to take this action.
Every woman whether she works
or not ought to send up cheer for
St. Paul. This is called "the wo-
mans century," 1t is true the wo-
men of America have made wonder |
full advances even in the last few
years; but there are many things in |
store for them and this is one of |
them-the buying OF woman the |
worth of their work. st. Paul has
set the noble example let the others
please follow it.
The Ladies Home Journal says:
Nearly five hundred women are
employed in the administration of |
railways in France. The women are
paid just half as much as the men,
while working quite as much. 1t is |
necessary that the applicant for |
such a position should be either the
daughter or wife of an employee, or
the widow of one formerly employ

There are thousands of women in |
America TO-DAY earning their bread. |
who works the same length of time
and are doing the same work and
drawing only half the salary of the
men employees. Why is thisa This
Is especially true of our women
teachers who are compelled to live
on half pay. while doing better
work than men in the same positions.
