Show Propiquity in Marriage. (Woman's Life.) There are so many, attractive and amiable women that, unless a man is brought into constant contact with a bright particular one, and her individuality individ-uality impresses itself upon, him, he seldom wakes up to the desirability of marriage. On the other hand, when there are many desirable women easily within reach, he does not trouble to search out the one woman in the world, and so, through an unkind fate, many women who, from their charming qualities qual-ities are cut out for wives and mothers,1 have withholden from them one of their sweetest privileges, that of being sought in marriage by the partner who really should be theirs. Again, late marriages are constantly being" accounted for by the argument that the modern woman has grown beyond be-yond matrimony, and that life has so many other interest for her. True as this may be from some points of view, yet many feel in their hearts there is something sadly lacking in their lives unless they know the happiness of love and marriage. Many a bachelor woman wo-man has a hidden fount of love, which would lavish itself upon husband and children did not untoward circumstances circum-stances prevent her from ever thus realizing the capacities of herself. This is the experience of many, if not most, of the women who form a part of the large army of workers in this mat hive, and it sets one thinking that there i3 something wrong with the social system sys-tem which condemns so many of the best of its womenkind to the dark side of life. |
