Beatrice Pitfalls the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

wv HIGH is better. to marry
" for love or money? That
seems a strange question
to ask these days when happiness
and success is within the grasp
of every woman.
And yet a great many girls
write me letters saying they are
deeply in love with one man. but
that a second man with much bet
ter prospects is deeply in love with
them. They do not care for this
second man; indeed, in a good
many instances, he is even repul-
sive to them, yet they want advice
as to which they would better
marry?
There is usually a postscript to
these letters saving that the fami-
lies of the writer's are highly in
favor of the more prosperous
match. Such a situation is en-
tirely out of key with the times.
Girls are no longer pawns in their
fathers household, charming
superfuous creatures who used to
sit around and do a little en-
broiderv while waiting for some
man to take them ION their
fathers hands," That was actu-
ally the phrase used, and no one
appeared to think it offensive or
degrading.
T1gi-cOmedy Of Getting Daughter
Settled.
Until a short time ago, a gener-
alton or two perhaps, whole
families would be engaged in the
tragi-comedy of getting a daugh-
ter settled. Thackeray deals with
this phase of society in his own
inimitable fashion in THE New
comes" where everyone, but par
ticularly the worldly old grand
mother, was engaged in marrying
off Ethel.
But happily modern conditions
have put an end to the painful
process of auctioning OF our
daughters. And with the world
full of opportunities for women,
it is a pretty weak sort of a siste;
who allows herself to be married

The creditable modern girl mar

cause a certain young man seems
to her a desirable life partner, not
because the family wants 10 get
her on its hands. And ThiS kind
of marriage is IA: more compli-
mentary to the man than the old
fashioned pig-in-a-poke business,
where tn eyoung man first pro-
posed to the girls father and
mother and IL they accepted him
then to the girl herself. And the
"blushing BRIDE" as she used to
be called, really married % home

hundred alone.
So the girl makes up her mind,
like a good pal, to help out with
her pay envelope for a year or
two at least. After which time the
young man will have completed
some particular course Of study,
such as law, medicine or engineer
ing, when he will have the pros
pect of really good opening.
These young people are pals,
friends, lovers-they are partners
for life's biggest stakes and each
holds the other up to top-notch
achievement. There is a genuine
incentive toward economy, a genu-
inc incentive to play the game
fairly and squarely-and youth
and love are the greatest factors
for its success. But how different
a couple of generations AFRO. What
was the fate of two young people
who found themselves in love yet
had no money? You have only to
read the novels of that day to see
what happened to them.
The gentleman, if he was deeply
in love and went in for despair
and Byronic despair was still the
fashion-politely drank himself to
death for the lady's sake, no
other course of dissipation being
open to him owing to a lack Of
fortune. A more liberal choice of
fates was open to the young lady.
Her family turned out hot foot to
run down a rich sutton. Failing
this, she often went into a de-
cline" a far more elegant and
highly esteemed course OF conduct
than to 60 into the home of some
more fortunate woman as a poor
relation.
Think of it, and this melan-
choly choice of fates overlook her
at the age of twenty-five, when
the curtain rang down on all the
romantic possibilities of a girls
life.
Couldn't Have Girls Gathering Up
Home.
You see, the successful women of
that day had to marry; there was
nothing else open to them-too
many girls at home cluttered up
the prevailing social system.
There is no reason why a girl
should fancy today that she is
obliged to marry merely for mar
rying's sake. She marries be-
cause she is in love, and she can
keep her job and help to get the
young man Of her choice started,
and both, thank Heaven, can work
out their destiny together.
The young man does not have to
drink himself to death, and the
young lady does not have to 90
into a decline. Believe me,
modern young people havI got a
great deal to be thankful u.
