MISS MARIA THOMPSON DAVIESs

1T is a barbaric and senseless old con-
vention that denied women the right OF
selection. Women take marriage 100 per
cent more seriously than men do. The
modern woman especially realizes her re-
sponsibility toward the future Of the race
and she sees clearly enough TO know that
the burdens Of marriage fall more heavily
upon her than they do upon the man.
Under the old order man had no re-
sponsibility save the economic one. That
Of course, was the reason why women
could not propose marriage To-day. how
ever. the woman is financially indepen-
dent. and is in no danger Of being called
q mendicant Ii will be a greater honor
for a woman to marry a man when he
knows that he is her choice rather than
that she has taken him because he Is the
only one who asked her.
THE economic freedom Of women will
be a blessing in another way. BY reliev-
ing men Of the whole of the financial
strain it will give them time 10 get &C
quainted with their children.
american men to-day are hungry Cor
