Readers of The Evening World con- tribute the following views to this dis- cussion: STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF BUSINESS GIRL. Dear Medem: You have asked whether a busi- ness girl or # soctety girl makes the it wife. My answer every time te a business girl, and I think she gets the best husband. I am a girl, twenty-two, left an orphan at the age of nine. I went to live with a wealthy aunt and had a private school education, my own automo- bile, three servants and my own in- dividual maid. When I became aix- teen I was allowed the privilege of receiving callers, and I can remem- ber when I entertained as many as eight men in one evening. I was ao isgusted with these society fools that I decided I would take a course as @ private secretary. When 1 mentioned the fact to my aunt she told me if I took such a atep she would ehange her will, disinheriting me from $60,000. I went. My gor- @eous cloths, auto and jewelry were taken from me. I bad $800 of my own money, obtained a position efter paying for my own course at @ business school, lived in @ hall bedroom for $8 @ week and went to work dally, never regretting my step. I was introduced to a sales- man by my employer, fell in love with him and was married after one year of courtship, and I con- alder myself the happiest woman in Now York. I have a baby girl six months old and have never had one quarrel -with my husband, He ts what [ looked upon as a man and the end of marriage is not happiness, but duty and responsibility, the de- velopment of soul and. character. There are, however, leas Puritan souls who adhere to the belief that the end and purpose of love and marriage are not discipline but de- light. I confess to sympathy with their point of view. Even the atald old founders of the Republic con: ceded every man’s right to the pur- suit of happiness. If marriage is not part of that general and benefi- cent plan, what is it? Surely if frice tion be necessary to the proper pol- ishing of the masculine eoul there {se enough of it in the struggle for a livelihood—or if not one can always specialize in sackcloth and ashes in 4 monastery. And woman has the THE Tels of husband and wife are often more trivial than those of children. The color of @ dress, the fit of a sult of clothes, the temperature of a plate of soup, the turn of a steak, any one of these trivialities may shatter love's little house of cards, For the hopeless thing about marriage is its total lack of perspective, In the mirage of courtehip we see nothing clearly but the beloved object. After marriage we get too close to it, and, like some exquisite painting to which we have drawn too near, without the ‘Muston of @ we note the! joved me for myself alone.
