Of q

There is considerable learned dis
cussion and porting over statistics in
progress to ascertain whether or not
college women marry as generally as
they ought to, and, IL not, why not.
The government seems inclined to
punish matrimory among its employees
by discharging the guilty woman. New
York and some other cities have gone
to the courts to find out II they cannot
discharge a woman teacher who so
far loses her self-respect as to marry.
Shall we ever reach the happy day
when II will be nobody's business
whether woman marries or not?
Mrs. Russell Sage discusses the diff
culties of housekeeping in a current
periodical. After saying that she has
three servants in her house who have
been with her for periods varying
from ten to thirty years, Mrs. Sage
soberly remarks: Cooks are difficult
to keep, as they are more in demand
in marriage. Men like to marry cooks.
They feel that the food question is
bClilSu NlShy
and mattresses do not appeal as close
ly to mans interests" This is bet
ter than anything the bachelor girl
ever reflected.
There Is lot OF nonsense written
by blithering idiots about under
standing women" They set up a
sphinx and call 1t a woman and then
make a great fuss over Analysing"
her. AS a matter of fact the lines Of
marked difference in character be-
tween men and women are much
smaller and less conspicuous than the
broad, underlying traits which are
common to humanity.
AS to the allegations that college
women do not marry as generally as
they might, could and should, it may
be because they don't want to, and
then again 1t may be because men
don't like educated women.
Men have always been devoted to

tobacco, which soothes the nerves,
and women to tea, which harrows
them up. Savants who make mankind
their special study should find food
for thought in this fact.
College women may not marry, but
you can usually trust all the female
idiots to get two husbands apiece.
Much Of mans success in life de-
Ponds on the degree of loyalty he is
capable of inspiring.
II modern male writer's would study
Shakespeare more they would know
more about women.
First love is ardent but undiscrimi-
mating. 1t is merely matter of pro-
pinquity. Almost anybody will do.
II is wonderful how much the repu-
tation of some men depends on what
other people think they know.
The "nagging woman" and the out
door woman" do not trot in the same
class.
No self-respecting woman ought to
want to be a White Mans Burden.
The woman with history may not
have loved and lost. She may have
got him.
If man has broader sense of JUS
tice than woman, as he likes to claim,
it is because he has always been out
in the crowd where this particular
virtue was instilled into him at the
point Of club. Justice was born in
the marketplace

CHRISTMAS GREETING.

The editors of the MESSENGER
desire to express to their friends,
and to their subscribers and pa
irons in particular. the compli-
ments of the season, and to wish
them one and all a merry
Christmas. Whilst of religious
origin, Christmas has also its
every day acceptation. This is
the season of the year when the
giving of gifts, and the inter-
changing Of expressions of good
will are the order of the day;
when a spirit of liberality and
generosity everywhere prevails;
and when the small children are
made happy by the myth of
Santa Claus. Besides it's valu-
able religious suggestions and
teachings, Christmas also re-
minds us of the Importance of
forgetting self, and of provid-
ing for the happiness of others.
The giving of a gift to a friend
is a pretty way of expressing
the spirit of Christmas good
will and cheer, while the hap
piness that may be derived
from gifts to the poor, the
needy, and the suffering, should
be rich compensation for those
who cultivate the true Christ
mas spirit.
