Here Is young man point OF Wow
Dear Madam: The prevailing note
among your female correspondents
seems to be that 'everybody's dom
IT.; that no one can afford to lose
ground in the race for husband;
that every girl has the right TO make
herself as attractive as she can.
&C., &c. In this connection the
writer would be glad to refer you
to the report of an investigation
into the salaries Of evening students
of the New York University School
OF Commerce about four years ago.
which discloses the fact that the
average age of the students reporting
was twenty-five years. and the aver
age monthly salary less than $50.
Certainly q small proportion Of the
writer's circle of acQua!ntances.
ranging from twenty-five to thirty
or more. are being paid $1,000 or
more per year.
These facts bring out the follow
Ing question: II New York mothers
dress their daughters extravaEant-
ly SO as to increase their chances OF
natrimony. who on earth do they
expect them to marry? Octogen-
arian millionaires? Certainly not the
average e1.20O man. in New York or
anywhere else. We hear a hue and
cry from time to time about race
suicide. diminishing birth rate. &c.
but the writer begs to submit that q
$500 income Is insufficient to sup
port 4 $500 wife. to say nothing Of
a family. A girls extravaganza be-
fore marriage Is certainly not an In
dication Of her thriftiness after
ward.
THE remarks OF one OF your cor
respondents on the right Of every
girl to make herself as attractive
as possible appear to me to be cor
rect in theory but wrong In practice.
No one questions a girls right to
render herself as attractive as pos
s!ble, but rouge. rats. &c. serve only
TO render her doubly unattractive In
the eyes OF those she Is most anxious
to attract. b. f.
