SP|NSTER IS
HAPPY WOMAN
Miss 'Dreir Opposes Views of
Societies for Protection of
Surplus Females.
SINGLE BLESSEDNESS is
THE IDEAL CONDITION
thinks That All Women More
Than Fifty Years Old Should
Be Pensi0ned.

NEW YORK. Nov. 20.-Vicws 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 L. Dreir, presi
dent Of the Woman'H Trade Union
league of New York, Rather she urges
"singlo blessednoss" as an antidote
for the greatest of all social evils of the
present day in American life.
A second society in the Bay state
metropolis, the Woman s Homestead as
sociation, has sent out an appeal foI
state and national aid in caring for its
surplus women of mature age who must
depend on employment for support
Every woman after she is fifty
years Of age should receive pension
from the state" said Miss Dreir, after
reading the appeal of the Boston society
today, ''The, greatest tragedy of New
York 8 industrial life she continued
is the tragedy Of the surplus women
the women who are able and willing to
work, but who have passed the dead
line OF fifty years.
''1t is almost impossible for the wo-
man over fifty TO obtain a position
where either mental or manual labors-
except the very crudest, toughest vari-
ETY. of the latter-insures her even q
possible living wage. She is almost as
helpless as if she were in prison. In
deed, the women confined by the state
have a better chance for decent food
and healthful work.
Would Buy Waste Land
The Boston Homestead association
asks aid in the purchase Of waste lands
for surplus women.
''But | think the homestead associa"
tion forgets,' said Miss Dreir, after
reading the appeal, Fthat there must be
at least one other essential to cultivate
the soil successfully, and that is-a man
Most of these women who would be
given farms lack male members of the
family I suppose they could perhaps
raise chickens by themselves, but it
seems TO me that pursuit would be a
bit hazardous as livelihood, particu-
larly for city women. And think how
lonesome they would get-wlthout a
soul to talk to. Another suggestion
from the Hub is a state matrimonial
bureau. and another is the legalization
OF plural marriages.
''Both must have been meant for
satire,' demurred Miss Dreir. ''For
that matter, ] doubt if marriage would
be of great benefit in a large number
of cases. ] think that the single woman
is, generally speaking. happier and bet.
ter off than the married one. And !
think women are beginning to realize
this, and that is why there are fewer
marriages. A married woman, until her
husband can afford servants or until
she is not mother, has less personal
1 lI "a
civilized world. OF course. l believe
thorough. in the theory OF marriage,
but | consider the modern practice of
it full Of iptolcrablc wrong. Single
blessedncss is blesscdncss indeed by
comparison -

Decline of Prices of Commodi-

With High Cost of Living.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2O.-The lapse of
the stock market into lcthargic cond-
tions last week marked the state OF
doubt or Indifference of the specula-
est and activity met only with suspi-
cion and charges OF manipulation.
There were factors In the situation
which afforded some assistance to the
advocates of a rise In prices. but tho
larger question of capital supplies and
the desirabllity of affordiag time for the
working out of the banking position
oyershadowed other issues.
The more immediate money situation
gained in ease both here and abroad,
The rise in October exports from this
and the heavy excess value over imports
thus established implied valuable relief
to the exchange market and gave con-
fdenee In the money outlook. The do
in favor of New York and interior banks
were reported TO be Offering funds IN
New York. until the decline in interest
rates here left no further object In do
Ing so.
The widespread fail in most prices
was deemed of great Importance. Pri-
marilS the excessive expansion OF bank
ing credits the country over is held to
be caused largely by the high prices Of
commodities.
Fall in Prices.
4 fall in commodity prices also bears
on the wage problem and on the preva-
lent discomfort With the high cost OF
living. The outcome Of the elections
had a disquieting effect on the financial
sentiment. particularly on account of the
force OF public unrest
The easing money market did not avail
to bring any marked improvements In
the demand for securities.
The difficulties of enlistiug new capi-

road earnings brought into question the
