border with his wife, ne is shot BY

The man, however, is resuscitated

Miss ONeil depicts the character
OF the wife In a strong and highly sat.

mean, and the actress wears nothing
but "a cheap calico frock during the
act, so that the success CT the whole
depends upon her acting. Seeing that

The Marriage Vow
WHY SOME WOMEN AVOID CUPID
BY MISS DORA MAY MoRRELL

to mans infidelities that It may b0
surprising to be told that they have
kept women from marrying, yet the
statement is true. There are women
who have what is called instructive
virtue and who have no compreher'
sion and can have none Of the average
mans point Of view. To such a one
It is monstrous that q man can be I'M
true to her before marriage as after.
She knows no reason why he more
than she should seek illicit pleasures.
There are always in womanly
women two motives in marriage
strong within them, and It is often an
actual pain to act counter to them.
First Of all is the desire for children.
After a woman has reached 30, unless
she is a shallow creature she regrets
that she does not know motherhood.
A French woman once said to the
writer: "Of course, marriage IL q
necessary evil. Women don't expect
to be happy with their husbands, but
then there are the children, and one
lives again in them, and has Joy even
with the sorrow Of years." and the
woman who Is childless loses all this,
her birthright.
Then another inducement to the
self-supporting woman toward matri-
mony is the desire to belong to some
body. It is not that she wants home
of her own-she has 1t as the fruit
of her labors and the independence
for which she pays the price; 1t Is not
even for the sake Of mans society.
These two influences within woman
kind fight for man, and either or both
is often stronger than her pleasure
in her work, her love Of independence
and all the reasons combined which
keep her single. Then weigh the bal
ance yet more with a man whom she
admires, honors and loves, and there
is but one reason why woman does
not marry-she can not. Therefore
II man wishes the data concerning
matrimony and educated women to
change he has simply to make him
self the man whom woman Of mind
heart and character will desire, and
surely It is better to be chosen as
fine type of higher manhood than al
the payer of bills. The man, not his
money, is the compliment such 9
woman pays him when she ceases to
be the woman who does not wish tc
marry. Let there be more men Of that
stamp and the woman will be un
known who does not wish to marry

All the sentiment in the world does
not mask the fact that marriage is a
contract.
Nor does the marriage state lose one
Iota of it's solemnity and beauty by be-
ing a business contract instead OF a
mere gilden thread of very fragile and
fragible love vows.
For only by following out the con-
tract idea and the partnership clause
therein implied can marital happiness
be made certain and permanent.
Sentiment In married life Is very
beautiful. without it such life ID like
song.words without music. But when
sentiment ignores businesslike man
agement of domestic life it lapses
from sentiment (Which is the essence
of Iove) into sentimentaHty (whose
first letter is its only connecting bond
with "sanity')!
True marriage should be a joint
partnership in which 'the party Of the
first part' and "the party of the sec
ond part" should las in regular busi-
ness frms) be permitted to do as he
or she pleases, allowing to the other
member of the firm the same priv
ilege: 30 long as neither does any
thing to endanger that firms strength
and integrity.

Many women will not marry be-
cause they prefer to keep their indi-
viduality as they cannot II they wed.
They do not. care to change their en-
tire scheme OF living to suit some
man. They are selfish? Perhaps, but
at least they make no one else the

who know anything about 1t. The man.

finds to her surprise that 30 far from
being the recipient Of all his worldly
goods he owns even the garments she
wears. The woman who sees her as
sistant's salary drawn by the worth
less husband with whom she will not
live, but who can live on her earn
ings, is not likely to think well Of a
condition which permits the injustice;
she who reads Of a child willed away
from its mother for no better reason
than the malice Of an angry husband
is likely to deliberate little, for II
nature teaches anything or proves
anything, 1t is that the child is the
mothers. When the law gives chill
dren to their mothers 1t will do much
to make women wish to marry and to
become mothers. It may seem doubt
full II these points in the law would
keep any woman from marrying, but
they have.
It is true that woman loves her
freedom, perhaps the more that 1t Is
so new to her. She realizes as no
man can the blessings which have
been his for ages to work as he will
and climb where daring leads, and she
longs to work, too, and to climb, to
make herself something to the big
world. She loves the possibility OF
this power so well that she will not
resign 1t for an unworthy claimant
The man who turns an earnest woman
from the delights Of congenial work
and independence must be a man
whom she loves more than she does
