Tragedy Of the Surplus Women

Views Of a society organized in Boston
to promote a state matrimonial bureau
and urge the passage of laws legalizing
plural marriages are not in accordance
with the ideas of Miss Mary e. Drier,
president Of the woman's Trade Union
Leage OF New York Rather she urges
single blessedness as an antidote for the
greatest OF ell social evils OF the present
day in American life second society in
the Bay state metropolis, the Womap's
Homestead association, has sent out an
appeal for state and national aid in caring
for its surplus women OF mature age
who must depend on employment for sup
port.
age should receive a pension from the
state" said Miss Dreir after reading the
appeal Of the Boston society. THE great
est tragedy Of New Yorks industrial life, {"
she continued, is the tragedy OF the sur
plus women, the women who are able and
willing to work, but who have passed the
dead line OF 30 years.
1T IL almost impossible for the woman
over 80 to obtain position where either
mental or manual labors-sxcept the very
crudest or toughest variety of labor-in-
sures her even a possible living wage. She
is almost as helpless as II she were in
prison. Indeed, the women confined by
the state have a better chance for decent
food and healthful work"

'Tll bet the guys that hand out that

get their long green together any sooner
than the rest Of us" announces Son. with
considerable show OF irritation at the edi-
torial suggestion.
That appeals to me as being an ex-
cellent idea for the women folks" is
Fathers belief.
Don't worry that the skirts won't get
an early start on the Christmas game"
admonishes Son. They begin TO lay
their pipes for merry, merry Xmas right
after the Fourth OF July. The first thing
they make out is list Of those they are
sure will give them presents Then they
figure out scheme to send each OF 'em

profit Of fifty per cent on the trade"
Il don't approve OF the system Of giving
where something is expected in return"
protests Father.
That's what they all say" reminds Son.

careful methods every year to pick out

Every married skirt has a string Of
relatives who seem to have more children
at Christmas than any other time" says

bered or there's trouble in the dear old
home"
This wholesale giving of presents
doesn't seem necessary" continues Father
Nine out of ten married men will tell
you It's case of give up the Bimoleons
for the joyous Yletde or else fight 1t

has come and went" declared Son. 'of
course, Pop, as you say, 1t isn't neoes-
sary but why make the little flat sad

bucks for foolish toys will make wife leap

The Boston Homestead association asks
aid In the purchase Of waste lands for sur

reading the appeal, that there must be at
least one other essential TO cultivate this
soil successfully, and that is-a man. Most
OF these women who would be given
farms lack male members OF the family.
suppose they could perhaps raise chick
ems by themselves, but It seems to me
that pursuit would be a bit hazardous az
a livelihood, particularly for city women.
And think how lonesome they would get
without soul to talk to. Another suE-
gestion from the Hub is a state matrimon-
ial bureau and another is the legalization
OF plural marriages"
Both must have been meant for satire "A
demurred Miss Dreier. For that mat
ter, doubt II marriage would be any
great benefit in large number OF cases
i think that the single woman u.s. gen
orally speaking, happier and better off
than the married one. And think women
are beginning to realize this. and that IL
why there are fewer marriages. A mar
ried woman, unless her husband can afford
servants or unless she Is not a mother has
less personal liberty than almost any one
else in the civilized world. OF course I be-
lieve thoroughly in the idea OF marriage.
but I consider the modern practice OF IL
