Why Do Many Women Elect To
Walk Through Life Alone.
An observant man who has
studied the woman question from
the economic as well as from the
social side, estimates that there
are at present 8,924,056 mar
riageable women in the United
States, or single women over 1 5
years of age. Of this large num
ber, about 400,000 are public
school teachers, and an army of
stenographers and clerical work
ers is included in the list of the
self-supporting.
It would be foolish to imagine
that the great majority of single
women in America could not marry
ry if they wanted to do, comments
the writer on these facts. Man
proposes, but the woman dictates
when he shall do so. Why do
many women elect to walk through
life alone, he asks, and proceeds to
answer at length, as follows :
Doubtless the growth in demo
cratic ideals, which has been stead
ily working among women since
1870, has had much to do with it.
Women have ceased to be merely
"the sex," they have become indi
viduals. Now a woman seeks fulfillment
not only for her personal liking
but for all the qualities of her va
ried personal life. She has not
only racial, religious and social
interests, but she has an intelligent
attitude toward the whole in life;
she has musical, dramatic or liter
ary tastes; she is interested in so
cial justice or in the vested inter
ests of caste: she cares for travel
or she desires a quiet home; and
in a hundred other directions she
is an individual. Such a complex
individuality does not easily find
its complement.
Every self-supporting girl must
also be deeply impressed with the
difference between her own econ
omic position and that of her mother.
Now the girl has her own pay
envelope, and in possessing il ab
solutely she holds the key to life
as she desires it. It is not to be
wondered at that a young woman
in full possession of youth and
health finds it difficult to give up a
salary which, even if small, is abso
lutely her own, to accept a feudal
relation to some man's salary,
o:t-n not much larger than the one
she I.js earned, knowing it must
suffice for two and probably for
more.
Another difficulty that confronts
the young woman of today in her
search for the altar is her superior
interior intelligence.
This is especially true of the
young woman who has risen in
tellectually and economically above
her social class. The social eman
cipation of woman lags far behind
her intellectual and economic free
dom, so that these young women
whom we are considering still
move socially in their family
planes. The men in that group
are too ignorant and too poor to
suit her; and the men with whom
she works know her only as t
stenographer, a teacher, or a jour
nalist.

When you have found no remedy for the horrors that
oppress you during change of life, when through the long
hours of the day it seems as though your back would break,
when your head aches constantly, you are nervous, de
pressed and suffer from those dreadful bearing down pains,
don't forget that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
is the safest and surest remedy, and has carried hundreds
of women safely through this critical period.
Read what these three women say:
From Mrs. Hornung, Buffalo, N. Y.
Bittai.0, N. Y. "I am writing to let you know how much your
medicine has done for me. I failed terribly during the last winter
and summer and every one remarked about my appearance. I nuf
fered from a female trouble and always had pains in my back, no
appetite and at times was very weak.
ul was visiting at a friend's house one day and she thought I needed
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I took it and have gained
eight pounds, have a good appetite and am feeling better every day.
Everybody is asking me what I am doing and I recommend Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. You may publish this letter if you
wish and I hope others who have the same complaint will see it and
ret health from your medicine as I did" lirs. A. Hobnunq, ll
Stanton St., Buffalo, N. Y.
Was A Blessing To This Woman.
So. RicnaoND, Va. " I was troubled with a bearing down pain and
a female weakness and could not stand long on my feet. Of all the
medicines I took nothing helped me like Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound. I am now regular and am getting along fine. I
cannot praise the Compound too much. It has been a blessing to me
and I hope it will be to other women." Mrs. D. Tyibr, 23 West
Clopton St., South Richmond, Va.
Pains in Side, Could Hardly Stand.
Low, Wis. " I was in a bad condition, suffering from a femal
trouble, and I had such pains in my sides I could hardly move. Be
fore I had taken the whole of one bottle of Lydia E. lHnkham's Veg
etable Compound I felt better, and now I am well and can do a good
day's work. I tell everybody what your medicine has done for iue."
Mrs. John Thompson, Tnii, Wisconsin.
For 30 Tari Lydia E. Plnkhani'a Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for fe
male ills. No one sick with woman' ailments
does justice to heraelf if sliedoej not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
baa restored so many suffering women tohealth.

Dwellers in the Sunny South
who know other lands better than
their own will be interested in a
list of some of the notable "first
things" occurring in their native
clime. The Nashville Christian
Advocate tells us: "Mount Holy
oke has the reputation of being the
pioneer in the higher education of
women, but the first woman's col
lege in the whole world is in Geor
gia. Of scientists who rank above
Audubon, l.eConte and Maury?
A Southern doctor first used chlo
roform. A Southern doctor found
ed the New York policlinic. A
Souih Carolina doctor, Marion
Sims, built the first woman's hos-1
pital. A Southern doctor (Mc
Guire, of Virginia) first proposed
that doctors be regarded as non
belligerents, free to serve the I
wounded on both sides, forerun
ner of the Red Cross doctor of to
day. Dr. Kinlock, of Charleston,
in I HO;:, opened trie abdomen ola
Confederate soldier and remedied
the trouble; the patient recovered.
The account is buried in a medical
history of the war and is seen only
by an occasional student. Twenty-one
years later the same opera
tion was performed by a Swiss
doctor, a few months later still by
a New York doctor, and heralded
to the world. The first sewing
machine, cotton gin, and steamboat
belong to the South. The first rail
road was built in South Carolina.
The first iron-clad battleship was
a Southern invention and was first
used by Confederates. The first
submarine torpedo boat, and the
first iron-clad batteries, floating
and stationary, were built and used
in defense of Charleston harbor.'
All ol which is enough to inspire
an old-time shout "Hurrah for
Dixie!" Everything.

'Way back in old New England in the days of long ago
My memory often wonders as the seasons come and go;
But the fondest recollections thai my meditations bring
Are ihe echoes of the old songs that mother used to sing.
We often sat together around the heanh'at night
And mother told us stories of a land that's fair and bright;
Then "Rock of Ages Cleft for Me" would echo on the air,
And we would all join in and sing "There'll Be No Parting There."
There's lots of music in them as we sang them long ago,
When mother's voice was clear and sweet, her accent soft and low;
And when I hear those hymns today my pirii auais on iiih,
"To Canaan's Fair and Happy Land Where My Possessions Lie."
They seem to tell a story of happy childhood days
When roses strew our pathway in a dozen different ways,
I like to hear them ringing, my memory often stands
For "Greenland's Icy Mountains" and "India's Coral Strand."
There were not many singing-books, the meeting house was small;
The congregation was not large, it used to hold us all.
We never had an instrument, no organ built for show;
We only sang to "Praise the Lord, From Whom All Blessings Flow."
Thai's why I love the good old hymns my mother used to sing;
They bring back recollections that nothing else can bring,
While "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," will always make me sigh
Till "I Can Read My Title Clear to Mansions in the Sky."
And when we leave this vale of tears for fairer lands on high
We hope to meet in heaven above where pleasures never die;
We will have an angel chorus that will make the heavens ring,
And use the old-time music that my mother used to sing.
