The Main Trouble I Says Dr. Charles Francis Potter This
Remarkable Iuterv That Most Men Are Not Modern
Most Women, for Though Men Haze Modern Ideas About
Business They Cling old Ideas about Women and Regard
Them Not Persons, but Property TO Gi0e A7vay Keep

have deliberately decided to remain single
through life.
why are there so many unmarried young
women today who have denied the natural urge
to mate and live with one of the opposite sex?
Why do they resolutely subordinate the desire
for wifehood and motherhood? The answer
is simple and rather startling. They honestly
feel that they cannot afford the luxury of a
husband"
DR. Potter is honest in his belief. He sees
women from his congregation almost every
day-women who have business in Wall Street
who hold big executive jobs in department
stores and in industrial plants. They are not
the marrying kind, for the present at least.
They are too absorbed in earning living to
become economically independent They prefer
this policy than to become clinging vines and
wrap themselves around q husbands checkbOok.

seems to take it for granted that he Is the
head of the house and the one to decide what
shall come first when purchases are to be
made. She naturally considers the house, the
inside of it at least as her domain, but she
finds him querulouS or lacking in enthusiasm
when she surprises him with new curtains or
furniture or even some little appliance for
the kitchen.
ut seems to be all right for him to order
new hose for the garden without consulting
her, but all wrong for her to purchase new
chair for the bedroom without his permission.
There are many happy marriages, it is true,
where man and wife both have their own jobs
and share the cost of the home and many
others where the husbands income is put in
Joint account accessible to beth; and still
others where a carefully worked-out budget
recognizes the rights of both partners in the
marriage.

"RUT such homes are comparatively few.
and many a girl who considered her
husband-to-be a very fair-minded and pro-
gressive young man discovers after she is
his wife that he is surprisingly old-fashioned
in his views about family finances and even
more so about the place of woman in
modern menage.
$50 the unmarried young woman looks long
at her unhappily married friend and decides
that marriage costs too much, at least that
the risk is too great.
ct is becoming increasingly evident that the
question-Can a modern woman afford hus-
band?-must be answered by saying she can if
he is a modern husband. She can be assured
of happiness only if he is as modern as she is.
And he frequently isn't.
when you strike balance, it appears that
there are more of the really modern young
women than there are modern young men,
which leaves surplus of unmarried modern
women who feel that they cannot afford a
husband.
There are many women living alone today,
however, who have had several opportunities
for marriage and have refused them or who
could have had proposals if they had en-
couraged the young men who made tentative
approaches. Some of these maidens say simply
that the right man never comes along. Others

N the opinion of DR.. Charles Francis Potter

themselves whether or not they can afford

has preached in the heart OF New York for
. number of years and is q student OF sociology
and kindred sciences.
'Some of these are unmarried because they
have never had a chance to marry. Perhaps
the young man who would have married them
was in France or in training camp at the time
the mating would have occurred For there
are many young men whose lives were SO

''They hesitate to ask their husbands for

IIlT seems like captulation to the old

Scar for Spring Street Costume
BY MARY MARSHALL.

still smart. You may wear scarf of
this sort crossed and pulled up little
at the front, in true Ascot fashion, or
you may simply cross 1t in the front,
using q brooch, II you like, to keep it
together.
The scarf shown in the sketch was
made of beige silk crepe with black de-
sign to 60 with Spring street costume
of black with beige accessories. You
may make q scarf Of this sort in shaped
Ascot style or 1t may be simply dou-
BILE oblong of the silk. The design is Of
black or other dark-toned silk and is
sewn to the scarf with invisible stitches
and then pressed nat. This is done be-
fore the lining portion Of the scarf Is
attached.
AS you see, the design consists Of
simple figures, straight lines. If you
like, you may make similar applied
motifs, using your own initials. Only
when this is done you will probably
want to attach them to one end Of the
scarf, where they will not occupy quite
such a conspicuous position.
For immediate wear you will perhaps
find bright plaid and figured silk Scarfs
most attractive. but as the season adj
vances you will doubtless want to re-
place them with scarfs of lighter tones.

Some one brings them dress to re-
model. And the made-over dress Is
square where it should be curved, tight
where it should be loose; it bulges in
one spot and it clings in others. Such
women ought to have signs reading
not 6reSsmaker-but dress wrecker.
And the worst of it is that their Gus
toners are Just the ones who can least
afford to have a dress spoiled.
These dress wreckers wonder why
they don't make a living. There are
thousands of these women. They know
nothing about lines. They know moth
ing about styles. All they can do Is a
little sewing.
Don't join this army. If you're going
to make dresses, make them well. Take
a really good dressmaking course; try
to spend few months in the dress
making department of fine shop.
Thus you will learn to do competent
work and you will not have any trouble
making a good living. And If you have
a little originality and the ability to sell
goods you may make lot of money.
If you dislike making dresses but like
to sew, listen to the story of this girl.

IndianaDOlis Protests

Whatever the courts may finally decide the peo-
pie Of this and every city should be grateful to the
city administration for starting its legal battle against
despotism under the guise of tax economy.
The state tax board chopped the tax rate for this
city and attempted to tell the city administration how
it must the affairs of this city.
True, the city officials were elected by the people.
The state tax board has the unhappy parentage of
discredited governors.
1t is also true that the cut was made on the ap-
peal of those in the employ of large corporations and
that its attempted sashes directed against low
wage earners and then any funds that would enable
Mayor Sullivan to fight for reduction of utility rates.
But the chief question is whether cities of this
state are to rule themselves be ruled by this des
potic board which is under influences at the present
time that are at least dubious. Under the best men
and with the best motives it would be vicious Under
present conditions it is unthinkable and monstrous
This city makes the legal point that the legislature
never intended to take away home rule from the
cities.
If it did intend to do such thing and has really
accomplished it in manner that will stand the
scrutiny Of courts the next legislature must restore
power to the cities.
Self government is destroyed in direct proportion
TO the distance between the rulers and the ruled.
To put the taxing and spending power of this city
in the hands of an appontve board makes joke of
city government. 1t takes joke of citizenship.
The result of this suit will point the way to relief
