labeled as such. In this modern
time, this old Ideals ridiculous
because more and more women
are finding that life doing
things" is preferable to marrying
any man Uho comes along just to
escape Spinsterhood.
No career can compensate wonl-
an for giving up the joys of being a
wife to the man she loves, the
mother of his children and the
chatelaine Of his home. However,
for the girl to marry the man for
whom she does not care, every little
service she performs for him is
drudgery, for a married life without
love is slavery for the woman of in
telligence.
Why must any girl give up her in
dependence, the income which she
makes, her pretty clothes and the
little pleasures she enjoys Just to
marry some person she merely toll
crates so she will be Madame" in
stead of "Miss?" The modern girl
sees the folly Of this and refuses to
bematched off by her well-mean-
ing friends who think every girl
must marry.

DEAR s. B. t: I do believe that
a woman ought to marry the man
she loves and forget her career, but
I agree thoroughly with you that a
girl is unwise to marry any man she
does not love. You have all the
little luxuries you want. You are
well educated and have a mind ca
pable of enjoying music, art, the
theater, lectures and oh, so many
things that you never will lack for
ways to spend your time.
Tell these friends that they are
living in 1923 when every person OF
intelligence realizes that no girl Is
ever IAN old maid" Old maids de-
parted from this world with buStles,
mutton sleeves and high top shoes.

Dear Sally: In the first place you
are much too young to be engaged.
Wait several years before you de-
eide whom you wish to marry. This
young man in town seems to be OBJ
jectionable. I should tell him that
you know about his presunlptuous
letter to this out-of-town boy and
tell him that you do not care to see
him unless he can be just a friend.
Be frank with him and tell him you
have not the least intention of ever
marrying him. Perhaps then, he
will not be so much "underfoot" at
your house.
