- Thur-adv, in 4, 1m. In the days when every woman’s livelihood, her- social position, and her Opportunity of enjoying life, de- pended upon her annexing a hus- band,1ne\1tablv some stigma attach- ed to a woman 3 being unmarried. It showed that she “as a failure in the manhunt and that she had failed to bring down her quarry. For every woman married if she possibly could mom GIRL minus mics _ BEFORE sun (ours 10 mm: (Dorothy Dix in Chicago News.) A woman writes me that she is continually twitted with being an old maid, and that the married wo- men of her acquaintance look- down upon her because she is husbandless, though goodness knows, she ’could be at the head of a he-harem if she had been willing to take what some of them-did. ' ‘ ‘ Gracious! -I "supposed that the old maid joke had died of? senility long ago. I did not believe that there was anybody left in the length and bread- th of the land who was such an old timer as to see anything humorous or strange in a woman’s either mar- rying or not marrying. and if she couldnt get what she wanted she took any poor makeshift that ofi'ered. In those dreamy times marrying was the chief object of woman; it was the wav she had to make her living because there were no occupa- tions open to her whereby she might make her. bread and butter except the most menial ones. :An unmar- ried woman had no place in- the sun. She might not have a home of her own, nor go about, unchap‘eroned unâ€" til she was so old-she had lost every tooth in her head and was doubled up with the rheumatism. ‘ She had no absorbing interests, nothing entertaining to do, and no r hOpes. no ambitions of her' oxxn. She had to be a sort of xx ard in some 1 relatixos family xxhere she xxas an - unpaid serx ant. so it was no xx- onder that she xx as an object of scorn, and loo aed upon as a failure because she had failed to get even an approximâ€" ate prize out of the matrimonial grab-bag But all or that belongs to the dark ages of xx oman historx. Marriage has ceased to be a profession that xx omen follow for gain. It has beâ€" come a career that’they espoUse for loxe. When the ax erage girl gets married nowadays she does not feel puffed up with pride because she has captured a husband. Generally she feels that she is making a sacri- fice in giving up an easy job for a hard one, and relinquishing her free- dom’ and independence, and her in- dividual pocket book. The woman who earns a good sal- ary in definite working hours ooks at her married sister, slaving over cook-stove, and sewing machine, amt wash-tub in a home whose work is never done. She compares her own good clothes with the poor ones that are all her sister can afford after she has bought Johnny’s suit and Mary’s frock and the baby’s shoes. She conâ€" siders her own freedom, and the serfdom of the woman who must for ever 'cater to the .xx'hims of husband and children first. and think of her- self last. and she realizes that noth- ing but a great and overwhelming love can make marriage worth while to a woman. Then there ire not, enough Fairy Princes in this world to go around. The men who can assure their wives lives of ease and comfort are few and far between. Most of the women who marry commit themselves to a Life-sentence at hard labor and scant pay, and no thanks,- as its reward. and so it is no wonder that women now have the shoe on the other foot, and it is the old maid who pities the married woman, and not the mar- ried woman who is sorry for the. spinster. The idea that a woman. is an old maid because she can’t marry is too absurd to discuss seriously. Women remain single for just as many reas- ons as men do. Some are old mai 3 because they are congenitally celi- bates. They are born with a dis- taste for the opposite sex, and no man has the attraction for them that their own latchkey has. Some women do not marry because of the idiotic convention that pre- vents a woman from openly choos- ing her mate. Such a convention sets her heart upon some man who em- bodies all that she admires and de- sires in a hquand, but he is too blind or careless” or perhaps too humble to sense her attitude hm- ards him, and pick her out of the herd. She cannot woo him, and so she will not lower her ideals and marry a man of commoner clay, she drifts; into old maidenhood. Some women do not marry because they are too selfish The Worflan who has a career Opening before her is not willing to sacrifice this for any man, The woman who is suc- ceeding in business is not willing to give up her good ofl'ice position to get into some man’s kitchenr Many women are enamored by their own freedom and are unwilling to marry becausethey donotwish tobe tied dawn to a husband and hotne. ] ‘N . Other women-do not marry be- cause they aré too unselfish. Macy a girl gives up‘the man she loVes be- cause she has an old father or moth- er whom she has to take care of.‘ Many a girl gives up all thoughts of ‘ having a husband and a home of her own in order that she may educate and rear her little brothers and sisâ€" ters and give them a chance in the world. She makes of her "youth and her romance a ladder on which they climb to success, and which only too often they kick over When they have no further use for it. She is the most pathetic type of all old maids because she is the woman who would have liked to marry and she gave up her happiness to others. Oh, there is every reason .under the sun why women don’t marry, ex- cept the one attributed to them by fools, which is, that they didn’t marry because they couldn’t. For every woman can marry if she is willing to take what is offered. But the troqble with women is that they are getting choosey, hence the Spin- ster CI’Op grows apace. Let us thank God fof‘ 01d maids. They are among the noblest of their sex, and they do the Work of the world that the. balance of us leave undone. FIGHT UNION OF TEACHERS i (Walkerton Herald and Times.) By a strange dispensatioh of fate, th Judge J. H. Scott of Perth, a former { s:t Walkerton law',yer headed the six he hundred Ontario school trustees' at Toronto on Tuesday in their fight: against the Teacliers’ Federation ofS Ontario, of which Miss Jennie Stead ot‘oW alkerton is the prOVincial or-i‘i ganizer and one of the leading splr-'m its of the combined Teachers andl 0‘ Trustees’ ConV ention assembled in l b the Queen City this VV eek. With the teachers forming themselV es into one, big union and practically dictating} what theii salaries shall be, andi otherwise hemming school boards in by trade union restrictions, the fight . with the trustees was bound to come and Judge Scott in retiring from the Presidency of the Trustees’ Associa-. tion of Ontario denounced the Teachers Federation as a purelV mercenarV mOV ement backed by all the trickery of trade unionism, suchii.‘ as “blacklisting” school boards which refused to meet their de- mands and thus compelling as it were, teachers to refuse to engage with hoards thus posted. Judge Scott 'w as in favor of g1V mg teachers a fair salary for their serVices, but he thought the Department and not the teachers themselV es should he the ones to decide what the salary should be. bé III 9.. 1:11 133 a a: 0.. a; C Gage-’- 11' 1 1 1f ’0 II An Itemized Account.
