r T would seem that most any one could
answer the question, why do girls
Marry?" Strangely, however, there
appears to be much uncertainty about the
matter.
Ten young women, between 10 and 25
years of age, were asked. None gave the
same answer as another.
Willard Mack, the actor, who has had
four wives, or were they five? all girlish
types, has been asked why girls marry him.
He professed never to have discovered and
each one of the former Mrs. Macks, still
girlish, all of them, promptly answered she
couldn't tell for the life of her.
De Wolf Hopper was questioned also, it
having been fashion among young women
to marry him. He replied that he often
had asked the same question of the then
current Mrs. Hopper only to be told that
only Heaven knows, l don't!'
The present Mrs. Hopper, beautiful,
happy and herself one of the most charm
ing of actresses, says she knows why girls
married her husband, but she refuses to
share the secret. She gives one the i'm
preston, though that the secret would be
complimentary to her husband.
OF the young women questioned, all were
asked il they believed girls married for a
home? Protection? Love? Ambition?
To become mothers? From curiosity?
moi" The chosen ten to a woman dis
claimed every one of these reasons. Eight
of them said that all the novels of the
Victorian period had not convinced them
that the women of that period of dangling
curl and dropping shoulder and Book Of
Beauty married invariably for love or for
ambition.
Said one of the examination class: "The
attraction of love has existed from the
days of the Sabine women and before that
in the cave man days. But as long as
woman had a ghost Of a chance in dispos-
ing Of herself, she always had an additional
motive for marrying one man."
What was that addition7" asked her
eager questioner.
But he was disappointed, for the young
woman shook her bobbed head and replied:
How can tell? 1t varies with the indi-
vidual."
The New York herald., 1922-02-12

saying that l broke her heart. Did she ex-
pect to choose a husband for me? That is
the absurd thought every woman has who
forgets what she was like when she was a
girl.
We've been ridiculousIy happy. Ed
Guard is dear. / arrange all his engage
ments and look out for publicity. It's
given me something to do, real work, and
l was perfectly useless before"
Now let us hear what the unmarried
seven have to say about getting married
But one of them frankly confesses that she
is going to as soon as fairly decent man
in her own class" and not "rotter' asks
her to. AS she is a pretty, red blonde,
dimply and 'cuddly," she will be sure to
marry unless the men are men no longer.
Louise, on the contrary, likes to be en-
gagged but balks at marriage. She has been
"out" just year and has been engaged
three times, twice informally, but the third
time engagement was widely announced
and celebrated with a great dinner and a
ball at the Ritz. She broke this one when
she discovered that her fiance had not
bought the engagement ring for her, but
borrowed one of his mother.
"All the fun is in being made love to-"
said Louise, "and as all the married women
I know tell me their husbands stop love-
making after few months of married life,
I shudder to think what might happen to
me as wife and l decline to take the risk.
The New York herald., 1922-02-12

I'm going to get engaged again as soon as
man like comes along"
But do you love these men, Louse?"
"Oh, yes, immensely. 1 was crazy about
the last one, who spent every week end at
our country place last summer. We got to
know each other very well and he always
interested me- l like to be loved"
Vera, tall brunette, wants a career and
so does Mary. The latter has promised her
father that she will go to vassar next fall
If he will let her go in for professional ten
mis- afterward. The men she cares for are
tennis players and she has no use for them
off the courts.
One girl of Huguenot descent seems to be
a throw back. She hopes to marry when
"her father has time from his business to
choose an eligible parti"
Being a vieur femme is inconceivabe."
said she, "and say what they may, I think
to live to be % unmarried is indecent. BY
then one wants to go to places one picks
out for oneself and often one can't do this
decently unless one has a husband to take
along
Now you may think I'm kind of vam-
pire or have certain strange longings that
nice women don't have. 1t is far from
being true. French people will know what
mean and sympathize with me in this
environment of emancipated' women,
The New York herald., 1922-02-12

for life with ambitions for work or further
study, she has dreams of carving her in
dependent way.
Then she meets the men of her set who
like her if she plays a good bridge and
permits them to lead when they dance to-
gether They have no interest in her
mind" What is she going to do? Make
her own life and meet them only on the
same superficial terms, or choose one and
marry him in spite of himself? Said the
late" married woman:
"If the home instinct is strong within
her, resisting enticements of ambition, &C.,
she will choose the least crooked stick
from among the group. But she overcomes
obstacles to make this decision and her
marriage is one of convenience, one of ar
rangement, as much as those which are
frankly proclaimed so.
Just as Much of Woman as
Any of Her Female Ancestors
What does this girl look for in mar
riage? Has her acceptance of a new stand
ard of relationship with men deprived her
of the womanliness her grandmother had?
I'll answer these questions straight A
girl marries because nature tells her that
is what she ought to do, and she is just as
much of a woman under the skin as any
OF her female ancestors ever were.
"But-and this is real 'but'-not so
many girls marry in their first youth as
formerly. The young girls look for ro-
nance and modern men dislike it. There
fore they have to wait until they realize
that there comes back to men who have
had to learn life the genuine hunger for
those old fashioned things, love and hap
riness.
Although the youngest men when they
marry usually choose girls somewhere near
their own age, and the older men marry
women who are younger than themselves,
yet in the critical years between 30 and
40 the balance is changed, for the ages OF
bride and bridegroom become nearly iden-
tical.
"Men are marrying later and middle
aged widowers are remarrying more fire.
quently, and it follows that If woman
does not become wife when she is in
her twenties she has more than good
chance to find husband when she has
arrived at 30. I have watched this in the
marriages in my own set, and don't forget
that was myself nearly 30 when
married"
The License Bureau confirms this state
ment Last year licenses to marry were
taken out by girls of 20 and women of 30
in the proportion of two to one in favor
OF the elder class.
But statistics will not answer the ques-
ton: why do girls marry? Did the ten
women who were interviewed answer 1t?
The New York herald., 1922-02-12

the fact that he is so chosen. He would
have to keep his emotions under the con-
troll of a notable will, and he rarely does
il for long. Then If the girl admits her
own breakdown marriage or some state
like IL is certain to follow, and il she
doesn't break down but proves by their
intimacy that he is not all she thought
him she dismisses him as "pal' and
takes another one.
The safest "palship," and that is not too
safe, is entered into by bachelor and a
married woman. 1t was one of the three
married women in the group of ten women
who uttered this portentous truth.

The claim was set up by the man agers of both teams that Noonan had been signed to pitch for his team. The Danielson manager said he hired Noonan on last week Tuesday. The Putnam manager said that Noonau had been secured during the week to pHch for Putnam against Danielson There were some heated words, but they didn't get anyone anywhere. Noonan affirming that he had agreed to hurl for the visitors and that he knew nothing of any negotiations or agreement to work for Putnam.
 But because Cooler Nelson had banked on Noonan, his team was left flat and without a pitcher As last minute resort, Nelson had to shift his team all around, and sent Coderre from short to the rubber.
