 rapidly unsettling old foundations

 Seek and ye shall find" is uni versal principle. Yet the woman who seeks this one calling, consider ed most appropriate to women, is almost social outcast.
 The way the sexes pair off can be seen ia dance halls. Sparkling girls, fleet of foot and swift of tongue, are overburdened with invitations, while others, perhaps sweeter and more capable, sit around unasked.
 In thousands of communities there is surplus of charming women. The men with whom they should natural ly mate are living in metropolitan boarding houses or in engineering camps or ranches. The present sys-, tenn of marriage does not bring them together.
 The number of girls who have probably never been invited to enter the <married state is probably much larger than is generally realized. If it is just as well that many women should not marry, there may be no great loss. But if marriage is to be considered universal ideal for near ly all women, the present engage ment customs are working poorly.

fact that the personal relations be-

that Nicholas has taken occasion to
