Husband Hunting-1.

I get a great many letters from
| women, VINO are sitting the anx-
ious bench of the late thirties and
early forties, asking my opinion as
to the advisability of securing a hus-
band by answering the advertisements
in some matrimonial paper of man
| who says that he is handsome
wealthy, and has a kind disposition,
but is lonely, and desires a congeniaI
mate.
never know whether to laugh or
cry over these letters. 1t is SO ridicu-
lous to think that anyone is credulous
enough, and unsophisticated enough,
not to realize that any man who is
fit to marry, does not have to waste
any money on advertising for a wife.
There are too many he could get for
the asking. And it is so pitifuI to
think that any woman so longs for a
husband and home of her own, that
she is willing to shut her eyes, and
grab one in the dark.
Heaven knows a woman takes
enough risks when she marries a man
whose antecedents she knows, and
whose pecuiaritieS of character and
disposition she has studied. This be-
ing the case, we can only marvel at
the foolhardiness of one who takes,
for better or worse. a gentleman she
never saw before she met him at the
altar, and whom she recognizes by
his wearing a red carnation in his
buttonhole as the Romeo of the Mat
mOnlal GaZeLIes
OF course all such marriages almost
invariably turn out disastrously for
the woman. She hasn't even a sport
ing chance at happiness in such
union, yet women who are old enough,
and intelligent enough to know better,
seriously consider advertising for a
husband. when they can get one no
other way.
Nowhere else is society more Unjust
and illogical than in its attitude tow
ard the husband hunter. Nature
made matrimony woman's foreor-
dained business in life, and all the
teachings of all the centuries have
impressed on the feminine mind that
woman finds her greatest career,
her truest happiness, and her sweet
est reward in the holy estate. The
very toys that are given to girl babies,
the dools, the miniature tables, and
dishes, and chairs, are intended to
turn their youthful fancies towards
the babies and real furniture they
are taught to look forward to having
some days in homes of their own.
Having thus made marriage the aim
and ambition of a. woman's life. we
not only forbid her to go and get the
thing she wants, but we are shocked
that she desires it. We think it ma
tura1, and even commendable, when
a middle-aged man says that he is
lonesome, and tired of living in hotels
and clubs. and that he wants to marry
and set up a home or his own, and
that he is looking around for a suit
able wife. But Ia, la, when a middle
aged woman says that she is lonely
and tired of being by herself and that
she would like to have some man to
cook for, and fuss over, we mock and
