The postponing of marriage and the
broader education Of women has brought
into existence a class that did not form
erly exist namely, the class of girls
between IS and 30. They are bright,
educated capable women, who are await
ing marriage. and instead Of being given
an interest in life and provided awith
something to do they are launched into
society with the idea that the proper
thing to do is to abandon themselves to
the pursuit of pleasure. One result Of
this is that we have women after
marriage taking very unkindly to the
necessary slowness of domestic duties
They live for thrills, sensations and ex-
elements As these cannot be obtained
at home, they resort to expsdients which
eventually prove fatal to the real and
noble idea Of marriage The upper class
girl is becoming a lamentably self
indulging creature, who spends the very
prime of her life in an incessant round
of amusement. The great leisure class
of cultivated women cannot be held
guiltless If It evade individual responsi.
biity and squander the benefits of birth
and education on its own amusement -
