Finds Home Why Conditions Some Women “ Never Often Marry to Blame Evm‘l normal woman wants to marry. Every woman has an instinctive long- ing for her own man, her children, her home. Wifehood and motherhood are her predestined business in the world, She has a cosmic urge toward fulfill- ing the mission for which nature created her, and when she fails to do this it is because some malign fate has interfered with her destiny. Of course, there are a few women to whom no man appeals. There are a few other women so unattractive that they appeal to no man. It is easy to under- stand why both of these classes are old maids, but there are many other women who are pretty and charming and sweet and amiable and intelligent and domestic, | who have every quality that would fit them to make model wives and yet who never marry. All of us number arong our most-cherished friends delightful old maids who are wise and witty and tender and affectionate; who are wonderful house- keepers, who adore children and enjoy the society of men and who would have made their husbands the happiest of men had they married, but who have re- mained unappropriated blessings while inferior women have made two or three trips to the altar. And we have wondered at this and asked ourselves why some women marry while other and more attractive women never marry? R PERHAPS the first answer to the riddle is to be found in environment. No matter how alluring your bait, you eatch no fish in a stream in which not even a minnow swims and, by the same token, many a woman fails to marry be- cause when she was young she lived in a community in which there were no eligible young men. There are Flcmy of country neighborhoods and small towns from which practically every ablebodied man has gone to seek his fortune, leaving an Adamless Eden in which the girls’ chances of marrying are zero. Very often, also, a girl does not marry because she is rich and her money comes between her and possible suitors who feel that they cannot ask her to live upon their small salaries and who are too proud to live upon her income. And very often a girl does not marry because she is more intelligent and better edu- cated than the men with whom she comes in contact. It is significant that there are more old maids among millionairesses than among any other class of women and that college graduates run a poor second in the matrimonial race to flappers. The home may also be included in this matter of environment, and un- doubtedly one reason why many girls fail to marry is because they had no proper place in which to do their courting. The modern house or apartment that is all vistas and open spaces may be picturesque and artistic, but it is no first aid to cupid. No man can get sentimental with the whole family sitting around in ear- shot listening to what he says, and when he pops the question it has to be with the assurance that a good, stout door is tightly shut and no ears are at the keyhole. Another reason that many girls do not marry is because they are chaperoned to death. Mother and father can't realize that Sally has grown up. They think she is still a baby, and so they refuse to let her have dates and go about with boys as the other girls do, and when she goes to a party papa takes her 2nd ‘mamma sits up waiting for her to come home. “This queers her with the youngsters of her own age, and they soon drop her, so she fails to establish the friendships that lead eventually to matrimony. Of course, mother and father intend for her to have dates and get married when they think she is old enough, around 25 or 30, but when the time comes that they want her to marry it is too late. She has become boy-conscious and is awkward in her relationship with men. She doesn’t understand them or know how to handle them, and they fight shy of her, for the love game is like dancing, you have to learn the steps while you are young. PR OTHIR girls do not marry because their families drive every young man away. ‘Sometimes it is a gruff father who makes a young man feel about as welcome as a pot of poison in the house. Sometimes it is a too loquacious mother who is under the misapprehension that her daughters’ boy friends have called to see her and who gives them a plegsant evening discoursing upon her sciatica and relating anecdotes of the time her little Johnny had the measles and Mary Sometimes it is a horde of little brothers and sisters who are permitted to carry on their infantile sports in the room in which the girl' is entertaining her and to tune in on the conversation. But, anyway, when there is too much family around it is good-night for what was a m:flu romance when the young man goes home. And many, many other girls never marry because their families have a mis- guided sense of humor that makes them tease Sally about her boy friend until she gives him up rather than be the butt of their jibes. Or because they ridicule every young man who comes to see her and pull him to pieces until they llu- sion her about him so that she can only see his big feet or his crooked nose or the way he has his hair cut or how his collar fits. Queer to think that a life's happiness can be marred by the lack of a quiet room and a shaded lamp or welcome on the doormat or letting a lT-yen-ald'E:l brother hiding under the sofa.

Modern Silhoutte. ‘The story is told of two modern girls with flat, boyish figures who were visit- ing an art gallery. As they stébd be- fore a statue of Venus de Milo they ex- claimed, “What horrid figures women had in those days!” Surely this incident must have oc- curred at least a year ago, for at pres- ent Venus with her curves is again adually becoming the model for true feminine beauty. The boyish figure is no longer considered quite so chic by fashion experts. Of course, it is no better to be excessively overweight, but the dread fear of a few extra pounds is fortunately mot driving quite so many young girls to drastic diets which are detrimental to health. But whether she be fat or thin, there is one thing which every woman wants and ought to have, and that is a grace- ful, supple figure. A graceful silhouette is quite impossible unless a certain amount of daily exercise is taken to keep the muscles supple and flexible. The following set of exercises is design- ed for the average girl or woman and she who follows them Tt‘lfllfly will de- velop a suppleness and'grace which are MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. 1T WAS NONE OTHER THAN MRS.
