Since we all admit that marriage
is the proper sphere for woman,
and the one In which she finds her
own highest happiness. and Is most
useful to society, we should encour-
age her on In the husband hunt in
stead of berating her for going out
on the chase. Nothing could be
more idiotic and Inconsistent than
our attitude in this matter, and II
we only had enough intelligence to
abolish the foolish convention that
prevents women from openly seek
ing her mate we should not only
have more marriage, but happier
ones.
For women know what they want
in a husband, and II they had their
choice they would get IL. 1t 10 only
because they have to take anything
that is offered to them that they
make what appears to vs. to be such
poor selections.
All honor, then, to the woman
who wants a husband and has the
courage to seek one instead of sub
mitting tameIy to fate and ending
J her days in the spinster's Retreat.
] would remind such a one OF two
things. The first IL to use judgment
In selecting her hunting ground.
Just as there is no use in fishing In
q river in which there are no fish,
or beating bush in which there
are no birds. SO there 10 no profit
In seeking q husband in places
where the only men are dotards. or
beardless boys.
At present the happy hunting
ground for husbands is In the busi-
ness world. There are two reasons
for this. One Is that when q woman
is in business she is where the men
are thickest, and where she has an
opportunity to meet daily and
hourly men of every conceivable
type. Any business girl knows q
hundred times more men than the
most popular society belle does. and
has therefore that many more
chances to catch one.
Secondly. in business a girl has
a man off his guard. When he visits
girl in her home, or takes her
out TO parties he knows that he has
entered into the domain OF the man
hunter. and that the traps are set
and have been baited especially for
him, so he is wary and suspicious.
But with the business woman he
feels safe. and so he strolls merrily
along, careless and unconcerned.
until she gets her pot-shot into his
heart. and bowls him over.
] would also remind the woman
who wants to marry that men are
like children, Indifferent to the
things they have and with which
they are familiar, but taken with a
new toy. Thus it is that the girl !
who is a wall flower at home is
rushed when she goes TO a strange
place. and that not infreQuently a
woman who has been regarded as
a hopeless old maid makes a highly !
desirable match when she goes on !!
a visit to her sister. (;
The moral Of all which is. II you !
are not appreciated at home. go |
where the men have better taste. |
There is nothing like a change OF
partners.
But don't advertise for a husband. !,
It's not romance you will get but |
black regret.

to apply to a Cabinet oficer or
banker.
This should be a most favorable
sway for theaters and for public
gatherings of every sort, especially
for what is amusing, since the mind
naturally will seek lighter vein of
thought.
New departures In education will
be made during the summer and re-
