Show WOMAN IN HER NEW FIELD Men Who Have Studied the Subject Have Brought to Light Manifold Mani-fold Possibilities. Do women who deslro to marry pur-lue pur-lue the hapless objects of their alTec-tloii alTec-tloii and Is there anything wrong In tho sttuntion, If true? That is the Question now agitating London highbrows. high-brows. Many and fervid have been the recent arguments and debates on that always absorbing subject, but In no case has any convincing conclusion been reached. Some regard the question ques-tion as a Joke, others look upon It as something of terrifically serious import, im-port, while still others claim that the mere suggestion is a libel on feminine modesty and Is not worthy of even passing comment. One prominent English actor, numbered num-bered among those who take the idea seriously, maintains that only custom has made it improper for a woman to deliberately and frankly seek out, court and propose marriage to the one particular man for whom Bhe cares most' "Not being allowed to follow that course," says the actor, "she resorts re-sorts to wjles which, In the end, accomplish ac-complish exactly the desired results. Is evory man pursued at some time r other? Well, you have only to review re-view the experience of your friends to calculate for yourself how usual a situation sit-uation it is. There is one thing that can be counted on almost certainly: that It the man is not attached to some one else and is not tied down with a mother and sisters to support, the woman will get him if she goes after him. "When women get suffrage, as they are sure to do, they will become gradually grad-ually more the companions of men, meeting them on a plane of mental equality. Women have brilliant minds, but there are whole realms of mental activity on which they never turn iheir attention. Their new privileges will open up new fields of thought and will slowly work toward a new and better mental relationship between men and women. Maybe it will somo day come to be considered not indelicate indeli-cate but a sensible, normal thing for a woman to hold out for the man that she prefers to live with and to have tor the father of her children." |
