Cure for Many Ills

A young woman of this city who
signs her name HI" has written
the Duluth ws-Tribune in the
Should Women Propose contest.
She says in her letter:
If women could propose with
out the humility now attached to
it. sincerely believe there would
be IS happy homes out of every
100, there would be healthier and
happier children and many less
divorces.
Is the average woman not as
capable or more so of choosing her
mate as the average man? Most
women have great foresight, which
gives them the knowledge of the
kind of mate they should have.
Many women are attracted by men
who like them but never pay any
serious attention to them. Is it
not right that they should have the
privilege of proposing to one whose
qualities attract and impel? Is she
not as broad-minded, keen and
capable of choosing as the average
man? Emphatically, yes, women
should propose!"
