Show fSoiwe Reflections I Bzxckelor Girl. W I Thero Is considerable learned discussion dis-cussion and poring over statistics In progress to ascertain whether or not collego women marry as generally as they ought to, and, if not, why not. The govornmont seems inclined to punish matrimony among its employes by discharging tho guilty woman. Now York and somo other cities havo gono to the courts to find out if thoy cannot discharge a woman teacher who so far loseB her self-respect as to marry. Shall wo over reach tho happy day when it will bo nobody's business whether a woman marries or not? Mrs. Russcl Sago discusses tho difficulties diffi-culties of housekeeping In a current periodical. After saying that sho has thrco servants In hor houso who havo beon with her for periods varying from ten to thirty years, Mrs. Sago soberly remarks: "Cooks aro difficult to keep, as thoy aro moro In demand In marriage. Men like to marry cooks. Thnv fnnl Hint tlin fnml nnngtfnn In They reel tnnt tno roou question is settled then, whereas chambermaids and waitresses do not appeal as closely close-ly to a man's intorosts." This Is bettor bet-tor thnn anything tho bachelor girl over reflected. Thore Is a lot of nonsonso written by blithering Idlotc about "understanding "under-standing women." Thoy sot up a sphinx and call It n woman and thon mako a great fuss over "analyzing" hor. As a matter of fact tho linos of marked difference in charactor between be-tween mon and women aro much smaller and loss conspicuous than tho broad, underlying trnlts which aro common to humanity. As to tho allegations that collego womon do not mnrry ns generally ns thoy might, could and should, it may bo becnuso thoy don't want to, and thon again it may bo becauso mon don't like educated women. t Mon havo alwnys beon devoted to tobacco, which soothes tho nerves, H and womon to tea, which harrows Al them up. Savants who mako mankind H their special study should find food M for thought in this fact. M iH College women may not marry, but M you can usually trust all tho femalo H Idiots to get two husbands apiocc. H iil Much of a man's success in lifo de- H pends on tho degree of loyalty ho Is H capablo of Inspiring. H H If modern male writers would study H Shakcspoare moro thoy would know H moro about women. H ifl First lovo Is ardent, but undlscrlml- H natlng. It Is merely a matter of pro- H plnqulty. Almost anybody will do. H M It is wonderful how much tho ropu- H tation of somo men depends on what jH other people think they know. H Tho "nagging woman" and tho "out- H door woman" do not trot In tho same H iifl No self-respecting woman ought to ) want to bo a Whlto Man's Burden. tM Tho woman with a history may not H have loved and lost. Sho may havo got him. H ifl If man has a broader sense of Jus- tlco than woman, as ho likes to claim, H It is becauso ho has aways beon out H in tho crowd where this particular H virtue was Instilled Into him at tho H point of a club. "Justlco was born In H the marketplace." H H Most peoplo havo loved at loast threo times. If thoy haven't they havo missed a lot of educational oxperl- H ence. H 11 Wo nro moro apt to romomber our M puppy-loves with a smllo than a tear. WM |
