After all that has been done for
American women by legislators and
educators. and college builders and re-
formers, 1t still remains true that the
most valuable possessions normal
woman can acquire is a suitable and
satisfactory man. Nothing else Is quite
so seryiceable In promoting the fulfill
ment of her destiny and her comfort
while 1t Is in the process of fulflllment.
Nothing else II she Is normal-and
here are very few women who are
not considerably normal-quite takes
mans place with her, says IIarper's
Weekly. One of her most valuable
privileges is that OF selecting her man,
of picking and choosing and taking
her time about ii, and possibly even Of

gun TO think she knew 1t. 1t Is OBJ

have great advantages In carrying this

able for such girls TO choose from,
and once the choice Is made the re-

do for married women is TO protect
them from bad husbands. Choosing

4 rich man has left a legacy of 81 a
week TO his daughter. to begin only
after the death of her husband, and
the same amount TO a son. to be paid
only so long as he is husband of his
present wife. This is carrying dicta-
ton of the conjugal affairs of heirs to
n rather harsh extreme, yet 1t is of
class of wills that have become un-
comfortably common. Restrictions in
wills against the marriage of widows
daughters or sons have become an
everyday affair. The man who finds
at the threshold of the other world that
he cannot take with him the money
that has been the idol of his life seems
TO find consolation In the reflection
that he can at least make 1t live after
him in the control of his poor wife
or children. Many a money grub
bling brute, who has made his wife
miserable as long as he lived, has
embraced this easy means of making
her misery continue after he is gone
And he binds his children under con-
uiAibns lDdA hNdli anu wal y lhtit
whole lives. 1t Is the absolute soyer-
eighty Of money over human hap
plness. No man is so wise as to be
able TO foresee the condition under
which his widow or children may de-
sire to wed. 1t is not the husbands and
fathers judgment or foresight that ex-
tends Its sway into the future but the
/ power OF unthlnking. Implying, unre-
t lenting money. 1t takes the heart out
/ of life, the soul out of freedom, kills
all wholesome, innocent ambition and
deadens the moral sense This man
/ illustrates the senseless Inconsistency
of such provisions. He discourages
/ his daughters marriage, and at the
same time discourages his sons
divorce. Clearly no fixed principle
could be in control. He is moved
solely by determination 10 in
terfcre in relations In which there
should be no interference. No doubt
natural love and affection for a child
has often been the cause of such provi
sions. But It Is doubtful IL ever {
daughters life was made happier by
