Why Some Women Don't Marv

A man is greatly disturbed be-
cause he thinks he observes that

towards celihacY He SAYS that
nowadays girls don't look forward
to marriage as the crowning glory
OF their lives, and he considers this
sttitude toward the holy estate most
unfeminine and decadent Also he
desires TO know why this is thus.
Undoubtedly girls are less anx-

than their mothers were in former
days, although there still appears
to be no difficulty in persuading

with the spotlight on 1t,
There are many reasons why mar
riage is not now the goal OF every
woman's ambition, and the acquiring
of a husband the chief object OF her
life, as IL used TO be. The principal
one is the obvious one, that in grand
mothers time there was not anything
for a girl to do except get married,
and there was no place in the sun for
a female except for married women.
Matrimony was the only gsinful oc-
cupation to a perfect lady, and her
marriage certificate. her only card OF
admission to any interesting way OF
living A spinster. no matter how
wealthy, could not have her own
home. No matter how intelligent she
was not permitted TO follow her own
iinclinations. nor have her own opin-
ions. No matter how old. she could
not receive her own friends alone nor
20 about unattended. She was doom
ed TO be a debutsnte at sixty. and al
ways the fringe on somebody else's
family.
As for making a living. every job
TO which she could aspire was so
menial and i'll paid that 1t is no won

ed that the easiest work she could do
was working a man.

Furthermore, she can do it by work

where interesting things are happen

stove and wash tubs in a dull two-oy-

her own money, she enjoys the pleas

that ever swell the human breast

THIS STARTS THE STORY

her story. In earlier installments
she told of her childhood; of the
brutalities of her married life, her
attempt to commit suicide to es-
cape a cruel husband, and her Anal
success in evading him. She told
of her many molestations at the
hands OF officials, soldiers and how
she was trapped in a house OF
shame by promises of work. She
escaped from this house but inn
mediately returned when the police
made advances to her instead OF
she attempted suicide second
time. A man intervened. She grew
to like him and they lived together
by civil agreement. She lived hap
PLY with him for three years when
a revolutionist, a friend of her sec
ond husband, sought refuge at
their home. The political refugee
and husband fed when discovered
by the authorities. They We're
caught in their flight. Maria Botch-
Kareva was arrested and question
ed. She and her husband became
separated. She travelled many
hundred miles to find him. She
located him in a prison and set out
to carry her appeal to the gov
ernor. She subjected herself TO
voluntary arrest that she might
accompany her husband to Siberia,
to which place he is exiled for four
years. En- route the party suffered
many hardships and she learned
astonishing workings of the code
of criminals. Arriving in siberia
the husband was threatened with
further exile to the most desolate
of prison camps along the Arctic
Ocean. Maria Botchkareva inter-
ceded and had to deal with a liber-
tine governor. Her husband was
given his liberty, but the price was
that she was drugged and shamed
by the governor. She attempted
suicide by drinking poison. but was
revived. When the husband learned

exiled to Amiga. The husband grew
to be a worthless gambler. In a
rage he at one time hung his

cept for formal affair. And for the
woman who lives in the country and
wants a dress to wear to the city on
hot summer days. when she is in for
shopping, this is the kind of frock
to have.
Should you ask me II this dress
would stay in fashion should be

very good all through this season-that
is positive. But as to next year, no
one could say. II 1t really would. or

ever. certain that the conservative
styles in frocks have a much better
chance OF being good for two seasons
As long as we have to wear clothes
and people have to make their living
by making clothes. and materials, as
well, the styles are bound to change.
