Almost without warning the move

WOMEN JEER THE IDEA.
Suggestion That They Should Pre-
pose Marriages Stirs UP Hot
Protests


NEW YORK, Feb. S.--Rev. Char
les l.. Kloss of st. Louis believes that
| if women should be allowed to pro-
pose marriage the ideal husband
would become reality and divorces
would go out of fashion.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Mrs. Char.
les II. Dennison. president OF Sorosis,
Mrs. Clarence Burns and Mrs. Lille
Devereaux Blake take issue with
Mr.. kloss, and say he is mistaken,
although Mrs. Blake is Inclined to al.
low the woman little leeway In
wooing.
The ST. Louis preacher recently
told his congregation that he did not
think that it would be asking too
much to request one wedding week
for the coming year. Last year
there were only twelve weddings in
his church. There are nearly 800.
members in his congregation and he
is not at all gratitied at the showing
(or lack of it, which the unmarried
set have made. The unmarried wo-
men of his congregation are daugh-
ters of rich parents, and he thinks
that their male admirers hesitate in
proposing to them because of the
small size of their bank accounts.
1T is a mistake to suppose young
man cannot get married without hav.
ing bank account" said DIR. Kloss.
In fact, | think it would be better
for young couple to start in life to-
gether in equeal circumstances, you
might nti hut
their health and determination to de-
pend upon, for then they would bg
muuch happier in the enjoyment OF
the fortune that would afterward
come to them"
DR.. Kloss also declares that mis-
taken idea seems to prevail regar&
ing the relative merits of the sex
The impression seems to have al
ways existed that women are depend
ent upon the men," he said This
is certainly not a correct view in the
twentieth century. Women are raw
idly entering into every stage of life.
They have shower that they are cap
able. Now let woman become mans
economic equal, or, might better
say, let her demonstrate conclusive
ly to man that she has attained that
stage. and the she can do the pro-
posing herself"
DR.. Kloss is 40 years old and has
been married for the last fourteen
years. He recognizes Mrs. Kloss
as his economic equal, and thinks she
is thoroughly qualified to do any
work that he is called upon to peg
form.
