WHY WOMEN DON'T MARRY.

MEN WHO ARE SLEEPY AND OUT OF DATE.

Beatrice Harraden writes in The Lhuily Chronicles-As I begin to set down these few rambling remarks on this most in- teresting subject, I see before me visions of the charming little country and sea- shore houses of the unmarried, profes- sional, and business women of England. I see a sturdy little bungalow flying the flag of freedom, and defying the winds And and storms of the. Kentish const. somewhere in Suffolk, far inland, on a wild heath, I see a picturesque, white and green houslet, with its own wind- nill, a loved landmark for miles round. And elsewhere, in a more sheltered setting. I see a creeper-covered cottage and a garden of fairest fostering Eng- land, in fact is dotted all over with thesa havent You come across them in most unexpected corners and owned by the most unexpected people.

Some of them are on a larger and more luxurious scale, others on simpler lines, of course. But they are all exceedingly. well-enred for, and they are all symbols of the same thing. They stand as outer and visible signs of the freedon, the independence, and the enterprise of the modern unmarried middle-class woman, and of her ability to carve out for herself, not only a career of work, but a leisure of dignity and peace. If it be true that to be unmarried is a tragedy of life," then all one can say is that numberless Englishwomen are bearing up remarkably- well under the tragedy, and wresting Bomething qut of existence well worth Eaving as a compensation for the fear- some fate of theing without husband and children.

AN ABSURD TRADITION.

One dey not deny that there may be many who de pine in an unwedded state, but these are they who are by natural, physical and temperamental inclination Atted to be wives and mothers only-are, vucation, in fact, born with this ene which they will pursue with the average amount of success or failure incidental fo all reeations. The absurd tradition that every wofoan is necessarily born with that vacation is at length being unmasked as an absurdity. Most of us have known women who have had about as much genius for marriage and motherhood as, say, lipelessly unmusical people for the roles of prima donnas. In the past there was nu choice in the matter. A woman could not reject the career of marriage, if offered to and arranged for her. She had to accept it with the same submission of spirit which drove her reluctantly to torture the piano into discords and to distort wax into angry flowers. The code demanded that she should have no personal inclinations or disinclinations. There was a piano. She must play on it. She must marry him. | There was a man.

If she loved music, all the better for the piano and herself. If she loved the man, all the better for the man and herself.

But now circumstances have changed, considerable modifications, at any and the ruthless code has had to undergo rate, in middle-class life. Dircetly woman became a self-supporting bread-winner she began to have choice of action, and was at least free to refuse any offer of marriage if it came her way. I say, if it came her way, in deference to the statistics' which show that England con- tains over a million more womon than men, and which would therefore seen to

claim with unanswerable authority that many women are compelled, whether they Hike it or not, to remain unmated, legally, But bare statistics are often misleading, and it is interesting to learn that the

census figures show that two-thirds of the total excess of females over males, are widows. If this be true, then let those who are deploring the grim fate of the unmarried woman be comforted. We can any to these mourners; Tears-idle tears, for two-thirds of the original tragic tetal,"
