BOARD MEMBERS
State Club Head Indorses Atlanta.
Federation's Petition to City
Council. Fl

BROWNSVILLE, Feb. 2S.-The rec
ommendation to the City Council of
Atlanta by the City Federation Of
Women's Clubs that a minority rep
resentation of women be placed on
certain municipal boards is approved
by Mrs. 2. I. Fitzpatrick. Of this city.
president of the Georgia Federation
of Women's Clubs. In speaking of
it to-day Mrs. Fitzpatrick said:
Great interest is being taken in
this matter all over the state and
both men and women see the wisdom
Of adopting such a measure We
know that the best, safest and most
sanitary school houses and the best
managed schools are the ones where
women have voice in their con-
struction, supervision and care
I'VE know that the women have
done most toward establishing libra
ries in the towns and in the schools
and that the women have worked
the hardest for proper hospital arr
rangements in our towns and for our
sick children in State institutions.
Therefore, we believe that women,
carefully selected because of their
qualifications to serve on these
boards win be of untold value
Success l say to the Atlanta Fed
Grafton resolutions"

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s Women
proposes and man says-yes. Is the
way Chicago accounts for a wonderful
increase in marriage the past six
months, and the statement is backed
up by John Fl. Mack, of the Marriage
License Bureau of Chicago, and the
Rev. M. p. Boynton, of the Lexington
Episcopal Church. The latter says
he has evidence that many women
are proposing, especially widows; and
that women generally will propose
when people come to believe that 1t
is woman's right to choose and to
make known her choice.
Miss Maria Thompson Daviess.
of Nashville, Tenn, writer, miniature
painter, farmer and craftsman, spoke
her mind on the subject to-day.
II thought l was ahead of my
time exploiting a new idea when
wrote of Evelina's experiences in The
Tinder Box" she said; but / find
that all American women are think
ing about the same thing. OF course,
believe in a woman proposing. The
barbaric and senseless old conven-
tion that denies women the right Of
selection is to be broken down-and
triumphantly, too, with no sacrifice
of the sacredness of womanhood"
Pride Will Be Safeguard.
buI, Oh course, continued MISS
Daviess, "a woman's pride will make
her refrain from courtship, as does
her mother man, until she is finan-
cially Independent and self-support-
ing, lest she be put in the position
of a mendicant Men are sensible,
business-like creatures, and they will
soon see how much to their advan-
tage it is to be married to women
who have had an equal privilege with
themselves of showing their prefer
ences"
But think of woman's chagrin
il she is rejected, was interpolated
Men don't propose to women IN
til they know what the answer is
going to be-" continued Miss Daviess.
Women are not going to be out
done, they viii be even more clever

intuitions."

Atlanta Georgian., 1914-02-28

A woman financially indepen-
dent and self supporting has
right to propose.
The barbaric and senseIess
old convention that denies wom-
en- the right of selecting their
mates is to be broken down.
Men will soon see how much
to their advantage il is to marry
women who have had an equal
privilege with themselves of
showing their preference.
Woman's inherent intuition
will spare her the chagrin of being
refused. She won't propose un-
til she knows what the answer
will be.
1t is the only way man can be
sure a proposal shows real pref
erence, and not merely eompro-
mise on the part Of the women
because they (the women) have
no other choice.
So says Miss Maria Thomp-
son Daviess, of Nashville, Tenn,
writer, miniature painter, girl
farmer and craftsman, comment
ing on the recent report from
Chicago that more women than
men are proposing in that city.
