Now That Women Have Achieved the Right t0 Vote, Why Don’t They Break Down the Age-Old Barrier That Keeps a Girl From Choosing Her Own Mate?- Happier Marriages Would '

Result if Womgn Proposed

The most curious thing in the world is that women who have fought, bled and died, so to speak, for the right to vote and for a place in the “in in the business and prpfessional world have never had the courage to sPrike even a single blow for their riBhi: W choose their mates.

Yet the privilege of helping to pick out the President oi tiie United States is as nothing coin- pared to the privilege of picking out the man you are to spend the next thi. y or forty years with. and battering down the doors that shut women away from. commercial success is not nearly so important to them as breaking down the barriers that keep them away from the altar.

Not only does every normal woman want to marry, but shc has a mental close-up of the hus-

band shc desires. Often slic knows the very man she wants, but becflllse of an idiotic convention that hasn't a leg to stand on,,she is prevented from going frankly to him and selling him a marriage proposition that might secure not only hers but his happiness and DTOSPEFWY-

As the custom now psi-sits, the woman in love is the most pitiful and helpless of creatures. All that she can do is to sit patiently waiting on the sidelines with lier lingers crossed for luck, hoping and praying that the man she wants will happen to notice her and ask ‘her to marry him. Sometimes he does. Very often he doesn't. And she has to watch in ligonized hopelessness a. purblind male Stumble Over he!‘ Wiilwuii 9V9!‘ even seeing hcr into the urins of a. rival who has planted herself right in his path. 0r else she goes through life filled with the bitter and ‘futile knowledge that she has missed her real affinity because when she met and recognized him she was debarred fron; making any effort to hold iiini.

No one can deny that there would be more and better ma. .i..ges and far less divorce if women did the wooing and the proposing. There are many reasons why this should be so. One is that women are wiser in matters of the heart than men are. Another is that they know more what they want than men do. And still another reason is that it is far more important for a woman to get her ideal in a. husband than it is for a husband to get his ideal in a. wife, because every woman is ten times as much married as a man is.

Also, it is more important for her to be happily married. If a man is disappointed in his wife, he has a. thousand distractions and interests to take his mind off his troubles and a. thousand consolations, but if a woman is disillusioned and dissatisfied with her matrimonial bargain, she has nothing to do but pick flaws in it, and every time she looks at it, _it looks worse to her. '

Then the woman who has got a husband who just exactly fires her fancy and pleases her taste is always a happy woman, and a happy and contented wife makes a happy and peaceful home. Moreover, she is always on her tiptoes trying to please he; husband and that redounds to his well-being. At least 90 per cent of the peevish and nagging and fretful wives who are sloppy housekeepers and reckless spenders are women who married their opportunities instead of their preferences, and who are taking out upon their poor unfortunate husbands their chagrin ln not getting the men they really wanted.

Of course, Bernard Shaw and other cynics assert that women really do the wooing and that a man is as helpless as a lamb being led to the slaughter when a woman marks him for her own and determines to marry him. This is only partially true. Of course, it is ridiculous to assume that a woman never sees a man until after he has popped the question to her, whereupon she suddenly discovers that she is madly in love with him, although she had never suspected it before.

Feminine emotions are not under such control as that, but even so, and admitting that an enterprising girl who observes a man who looks good to her does her best to catch him, the custom that forbids her to

His face was pale and its Dallor was slightly accentuated by contrast with his dark hair and equally dark eyes. He was probably about twenty seven, and the lack of fresh air for the past few days had given him a jaded appearance.
