WOMAN'S RIGHT TO PROPOSE
Selfish Girl Claims That Conditions
Following War Have Made Old
Ideas Look Foolish.

Among the last rights Of women to
be fought Is the right to propose.
II Is the inevitable consequence OF
the vote and Of the war. The position
81 woman with regard TO marriage has
entirely changed. and the sooner II is
recognized the better. Up till now
nice women have properly not pro-
posed, because 1t meant virtually :
"Will you keep ne?'
Now that a woman can be as indie
pendent as man she need have no
scruples on that score. "a Girl From
the War" writes in the continental
edition of the London Mall.
In every other direction the position
OF men and women. with regard to
marriage. Is equal. 1t is quite ridicu-
ious that ii should be an honorable
thing in a man to love q woman who
be disgrace to a woman TO love I'M
asked. A proposal from the man clears
the air. and 1t would be the same with
one from the woman.
In the present condition Of things a
woman often wastes the best years of
her life on hope. 1t would be much
better IL she could say In the begin
ming: II ike you. and II you like me
as much as l like you. let us spend our
lives together" It would be quite sim
pie for the man TO reply, IL he were
OF a different mind: II am sorry OF
course. like you. but do not feel like
going into partnership"
The woman would then put him out
OF her mind and go about her business.
Broken hearts heal in time, and 1t Is
possible that hearts would never get
beyond the wounded stage il this plan
were adopted.
r There Is q serious reason why 1t
should be adopted. Some badly wound
ed men are feeling much as II they had
changed places with the women. They
do not have 20 say. "Wlll you keep
me?- when they propose, but what to
them Is almost as bad, "Will you keep
yourself7-
Il would be a great relief to many
a crippled man In love II proposals
we're taken out Of mems handsss
In the present circumstances no nice
girl could bring herself to propose.
however willing she t. to keep hetsetf.
however much she loves the man.
Thare is no need 70 fear that the
new right would give added license To
the other kind Of gtri. j She proposes
now, although not 10 so many words.

Panama Wa outeast City.

Panama Is the oldest city on this
continent Inhabited by white men. and
Is the great curiosity shop OF America,
George A. Miller writes, In his book,
"Prowllng Abont Panama" Some Of
the cities OF the canal zone are among
the cleanest and healthiest on earth,
but laziness, shiftlessness md inef-
feiency are In full sway in Panama.
Economic waste meets the prowler at
every step.
Probably Panamanians had less op-
portunities than citizens of some OF
the other cities TO learn advancement
In these lines, due to the fact that
they we're on the defense against the
encroachment Of conquerors for past
centuries. MS author says. Not until
the present republic was SET up, under
the protection Of the United States,
was the city any better than an outcast
OF the world.
