A Question B
IN THE ABSENCE OF

Dear M'ss Flo: :
The? question which I find so difl
cult to answer for myself is whethi
I shall marry a man for whom 1 h:v
only a casual affection, or remain j
old maid. I shah soon bo thirty,
have an cxcellont position and 1 ltr
my work i enjoy the inohey i cai
ami the luxuries it brings me, as on
a woman can whose fmaily has :
' ways been poor and whose girlhoi
was devoid of all the gayety at
happiness girl erayes
I can truth tally say that I ha?
no desire to marry. When I see ot
or women shabby, overworked, wii
crying babies and grouchy husband
I feci that marriage has no chare
for mo, Imt 1 am at raid the day \v
come, h; it seems to come for a
those o her women who do not ma
ry?when I will find myself a lor.
iy old woman, and \vi>h I had marrgi
and had children.--M,
It does seem rather unfair doesn
ir., that a woman has to choose b
tween marriage and her careei
When a man marries he merely a
quires a home and a wife and old
drer. in addition to the other plea
v.ros and interests of his work, but
woman usually has to sacrifice ot
01 the other. Only the exception:
woman as yet can manage both will
out breaking or falling down on or
job < ; the ether.
As a matter of fact, there at
women who have no heed of ma
vii?*Vrt Xx-M.-W d",' * -i * '
!HUo?- ?? MV7 MV nvt uv^ire \M\
virtually force themselves into it hi
ci.um: of their fear of being an ?i
maid or of old age loneliness.
But some- of the loneliest women i
the world today are married wonu*
with children.
The unmarried woman of today
really a happy creature. .She is n
longer ah ''old maid." She is
bachelor girl and her life is ofte
> > itill and interesting and useful ih<
she u- utterly happy and content c
in her own way.
A very spry, interesting old lady i
62 recent';. claimed that her principi
reai-or. for not nvairytng was her ir
tense horror of parting with her fri"
dom. and of having her individuals
lind gifts killed by husbands and chi
dren and circumstances. She is coi
vinced that for her at i??ast the pill
hie was single life, and she has abs<
lutely no regrets for not having! ma:
ried.
All of this, of course, seems irnpo
eihle to the wife and mother who h?
reasoned herself into a state of st
periority and has only pity for tl
unmarried woman. She expresses c
every possible occasion her belli
that there is no work and no hon<
that can recompense for the tragec
of not* having a child. This view
little short of insulting to the mai
great women who have done ever
thing and had everything but a chil
and who havt made life worth litrii
for other women's children and four
recompenses in full for themselves
