Girl Should Shun Efforts of Well-Meaning Friends Intent on Match-Making By MARTHA LEE YOUNG men are not the only ones who must be careful not to be caught in a matrimonial net against their will. Many a girls finds herself married and unhappy simply because her friends pushed her into accepting some young man. For so many ages the unmarried woman had been tagged “old maid” or “sinister” that girls married to avoid being

labeled as such. In this modern time, this old idea.is ridiculous because more and more women are finding that a life “doing things" is preferable to marrying .any man who comes along just to escape spinsterhood. No career can compensate a woman for giving up the joys of being a wife to the man she loves, the mother of his children and the chatelaine of his home. However, for the girl to marry the man for whom she does not care, every little service she performs for him is drudgery, for a married life without love is slavery for the woman of intelligence. Why must any girl give up her independence, the income which she makes, her pretty clothes and the little pleasures she enjoys just to marry some person she anerely tolerates so she will be “Madame” instead of “Miss?” The modem girl sees the folly of this and refuses to bematched off by her well-mean-ing friends who think every girl must marry. Dear Miss Lee: A young man who is admirable in every respect has proposed to me. There is nothing he lacks to make the proverbial "good husband.” but I do not love him. My friends tell me I am a very foolish girl not to "snatch him right up. Strange to say. I do not mind living with another girl in a tiny apartment. I have everything I want except "love’* and I feel it T married this man I should not get that. Really I should have less than I have now because I should lose, naturally, a certain amount of mv independence. , , . . . I am a college woman and am interested in knowing what you think of a situation like this. After reading several of your articles I know that you believe that every woman ought to marry she can. DEAR S. B. TANARUS: I do believe that a woman ought to marry the man she loves and forget her career, but I agree thoroughly with you that a girl is unwise to marry any man she does not love. You have all the little luxuries you want. You are well educated and have a mind capable of enjoying music, art, the} theater, lectures and oh, so many things that you never will lack for; ways to spend your time. Tell these friends that they are living in 1928 when every person of intelligence realizes that no girl Is ever “an old maid.” Old maids departed from this world with bustles, mutton sleeves and high top shoes.

Dear Martha Lee: I am a Kiri. 17. I have a bov friend In another State of whom I think a great deal, and he has told me many times he loves me. Now I have a bov friend who lives here in the city. We have known each other for two years and have been good friends. However, this boy in town has. the idea (hat I shall marry him some day. He has asked me this, but X have told him I do not love him. He seems to think he ran make me love him. Now he has written to my boy friend in the other State and told him'to stop writing to me because we are engaged. This other boy ..topped writing until I wrote him a card asking his reason. That is the way I found out about this letter about my being engaged. The bov who lives here is always at my house when I do not want him. Shall I tell him I know all about this letter he wrote to the out-of-town bov. or shail X just treat him friendly? I really do not care anything for him. SALLY. Dear Sally: In the first place you are much too young to be engaged. Wait several years before you decide whom you wish to marry. This young man in town seems to be objectionable. I should tell him that you know about his presumptuous letter to this out-of-town boy and tell him that you do not care to see him unless he can be just a friend. Be frank with him and tell him you have not the least Intention of ever marrying him. Perhaps then, he will not be so much “underfoot” at your house.

IS A HEALTHIER STRONGER GIRL Because She Took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound The fertile valleys of Oregon help to supply the tables of America.

This is possible thru the magic of the humble tin can. In one of the canning establishments, Julia Schmidt was employed. It was complicated work because she did sealing and other parts of the work. It was

J.JmT

strenuous work and she was not a strong girl. Often she forced herself to work when she was hardly able to sit at her machine. At times she would have to stay at home for she was so weak she could hardly walk. For five years she was in this weakened condition. She tried various medicines. At last, a friend of hers spoke of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Miss Schmidt gave it a trial. “Everyone says I am a healthier and stronger girl,” she wriles. “I am recommit .ding the Vegetable Compound to all my friends who tell me how they suffer and I am willing to answer letters from women asking about it." Julia Schmidt's address is 113 Willow St, Silverton. Oregon. For sale by all druggists. —Advertisement,

Woman s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER A “wealthy, intelligent, cultured” New York woman of 42, Mrs. Grace Burnham, has created no little excitement with her recent baby girl born without benefit of clergy. The mother, who is a widow, explains through her attorney that, though she did not care to remarry, she did want a child, and believed in her innate right to one with or without matrimony. The father was selected for eugenic reasons, and everything sounds quite hotsy-totsy. U tt tt Experiments I hav( no comment to make on the wonan’s decision and action. It is vjry likely, as Judge Ben Lindsey says, that “social experimenta ion by those who care to risk it is quite as well justified as experimentation in other dangerous fields. Society ought to sanction it and tolerate it and even encourage it. Nobody suggests that we put a stop to aviation because the path to discovery in this field- is marked with the gravestones of those who took their chance with the Unknown. Incredible as it may seem, there are still people who look upon experimentation in the scientific fields as immoral and displeasing to God." a a a Mamie, Too! But I do resent the wholehearted acceptance which society of all classes gives this "wealthy, intelligent, cultured" widow for her unconventional act, while denouncing any similar experiment on the part of girls without money, which should give even more opportunity to live conventionally. I have never heard a more shocking example of "toadyism.” Accept her, if you like, but accept Mamie Schmoltz at the ribbon counter, too.

a a s: Tattlers Social workers are supposed to frequently breathe the wish that girls of 14 could be put into a state of coma until at least 18 to spare society from the troubles caused by them. Year after year some man is released from prison when the adolescent girl who lied about him changes her mind and tells the truth when she has grown older. Girls must be the center of attrac- j tion at this age even if they wrong other human beings by being it. Remember this the next time a 14 orj 15 or 16-year-old girl tells you some: horrible tale about someone! Itj was these girls who caused most of j the witch burnings, we are now told} by authorities. _____
