That many women formerly entered
the marriage state without any real
drawing toward it is shown by the
eagerness with which women have
turned to other means of support as
these have opened up to them Moth
ing has ever been seen in social eco

women to ways of self-support, and
though the thrush of the sex into
various lines has brought some evils,
it has healed others, and the distur-

There are women who do not marry
because they will not marry without
the sentiment that to them is the true
sanctidcation of the marriage relation.
There have always been such women
not many of them, for they had to
be strong enough to walk alone, and
that is painful at best; and they had
not only to walk alone, but to face
scorn for being braver and truer than
the average of their sex. The more
intense her nature the more a woman
is controlled by sentiment, and so, as
few men can, she can carry in her
heart the memory of love that had
no earthly fruition, and find her life
sweetened by it.
