On the third and fourth count she piv-

arch OF her left and his right arm as
she swings under In pivoting she shifts
her weight on the first half OF the third
count to her right foot and on the second
half of the third count back to her left

concluded. with her weight thrown full

When Woman Proposes

jects 10 woman proposing on the ground
that II would degrade her, and give
man the right 20 insult her He says that
when man offers marriage TO woman
Il n an honor TO her. because he UNDER
takes to support her. but II a woman pro-
posed marriage to man she would
merely be offering him herself
This objection seems 10 me rather far
fetched. To begin WITH no man sup
ports his wife. The woman who runs the
domestic machinery OF a home, whether
II be managing n big establishment OF
doing the sowing, cooking and scrubbing
for a family with hor own hands. IL self

keep II any woman in the world does.
Just in actual material service that has
market value the wife Ia quits with her
husband. She gives him value received
for her food and clothes.
Moreover. there IL not one man IN
million who looks upon matrimony from
the sordldly materiaiistic standpoint.
when he thinks OF marriage he thinks OF
Il in It's spiritual essence. and when he
dreams OF a wife his vision 10 OF her
bringing 10 him limitless devotion; q
loyalty that never falls lie secs her

Watching over his sick bed, ministering
20 him with love that finds It's finest

What woman brings 10 marriage is
something 80 precious that no money can
pay for II, and that IL what every normal
minded man secs in Il, and there would
be small danger OF any one ever commit
ting the sacrilege OF rejecting the offer OF
this sacred thing with ribald insult II Il
did happen. tho woman could only thank
her guardian angel on her knees for hav-
ina saved her from such brute.
After all. the whole proposition goes
back TO the one contention that marriage
Is the most important thing In life. to
both men and women. and that they
should have an equal right 90 select their
mates. and that as conventions now oh
u tain women suffer great handicap in
being denied this privilege. .,..-. i
Also, that II would be both more digni-
fled and modest for a woman TO be able
to come Bquaroly out and pop the aucs-
tion 20 man ahe wanted TO marry than
II Is for her to have TO try by various and
sundry devices OF manner and dress TO
attract his notice and inviegle him into

Men shouldn't object to the innovation.
IL would be all 90 their advantage. Every
eligible man knows that he is pursued by
women who want 20 marry him, and he d
have much better chance to escape II
