WHY MEN DON'T MAP.fiY. •
Saxon, Aug. 10.
Editor Reporter :
llero is an extract from a letter
in a recent issue of tho Progressive
Farmer:
"Now a word as to why increas
ing numbers of men remain bach
elors I don't believe they have
enough of manhood and the im
age of God in their make up to
shoulder the responsibilities of a
husband and father. They had
rather lounge at the club, be a re
cluse, idle and useless, than to be
training souls for the kingdom of
God, They had rather see sweet,
delicate girlhood toiling ten hours
a day for food and clothing than
to give her a place as a beloved
wife."
Well, that reads like truth and
yet the writer might have gone
further and delivered a broadside
instead of such a one-sided hit. It
raads like an old maid might have
written the article, and while 1 am
not an old baohelor and am with
the writer in classing such as
"selfish, weak, worthless," beings
variously called and known in
early life as "cigarette smokers"
and "gentlemen of leisure," and
I have not a word to say in their
defense, but would rather add to
their condemnation, but as we
know mankind has always had a
reason for his meanness, I want to
suggest as the probable cause of
the evil the increasing disposition
of women to live for show, to out
dress, and out-live in the social
world someone else is the highest
and often the only ambition of tho
majority of "sweet girlhood." 1
was in a city reoently and witness
ed. the parade and fourth of July
celebration, and in conversation
with a milliner and dress-maker of
the place I learned that large
numbers of those girls who were
"working ten hours a day" had
willingly, even boastingly, paid a
month's net earnings for one hat,
while another month's net earn
ings was often taken to pay for
the trimmings aud making alone
of a fancy gauze-like dress. Don't
that show that woman has gone
mad in her crazy worship of that
emissary of the devil, called the
Goddess of fashion, and under
such ciroumstances what sane mind
will blame the worthy young man,
one who bears in his face the im
age of God and whose breath is
like unto the breath of life, not
tainted with whiskey or tobacco,
and whose life is right and is
striving to attain to God's ideal
manhood. Who blames him?
Yes, I say who blames him for
detesting and refusing to tie up
for life with the average simpering
siily being, whose mind is as weak
as her frail fashion-cursed body,
and who thinks it more importaut
to live up to the dictates that em
anate from the slums of Paris
(where all the "latest fashions"
come from) than it is to be a work
er in the church of God.
Man is what woman makes him.
Be Binned because she asked him
to do so and he will keep on sin
ning as long as she leads the way.
Let her ohange and he will change.
Let her turn from fashionable
idleness and make amends for
starting man on his downward
life, and she will soon not have
cause to think that men in in
creasing numbers are refusing to
get married.
Ijjly Buue man oares to marry that
sorawny creature who has ruined
her health by waking her Hoping
hoars between 2 and 9 o'clock in
morning. Fashion's goddess jj| in
disoreet, for wen she to only ex
pose to the gaze of man those who
hadjthe form of the Greek slave,
then she might catoh more of man
kind, but what she says is "the
latest" must be worn by all, the
lean as well as the plump, the
poor as well as the rich, and now
| when the old maids iind their
number so rapidly increasing let
; them stop aud think, or better,
ask man. Ask her brother and
she will conclude that the incli
; nation of woman to live a fashion
able life h;is a great deal to do
j with the increasing number of
I bachelors and does not give man
credit for tho good sense ntid
judgment he has. What sane
, man admires the unnatural, fash-
I ionablo straight front or the low
j dip and such other abominable
dykes as are so common.
