Men caii^ba Jrfry conslor^ftivwi^- out the little woman, m glciw» ing fireside, the waiting slippers and housecoat. Women can earn real money, enough for motor cars, fur coats and ocean trips, unencumbered by the presence of children or the need to arrange things with George. Of course, men and women who don't marry sacrifice a lot--only they don't know it. They may have occasional wrenches of loneliness and longing, hut they consider th«n but passing emotion*, not to be taken too seriously. Alao they aae the failures: they hear the babies crying, hear about doctors' and det^ tists' bills: they study divorce flgures. So they think they know all about it, and decide that they are lucky to have kept out of it. Clubs make men delightfully comfortable now, or faithful old servants --Filipino, Chinese, perhaps colored, take care of their every wish. They are asked out to dinners, and fascinating widows, "grass or sod," as Mrs. Wiggs put it, flank them on either side. As they grow richer and older they grow more and more spoiled, complacent and adroit at dodging feminine netd. M Pooling Selves. ** On her side the single woman has iota of cold reason too. She can spend her money as she pleases. She doesn't have to face the physical, SUA nervous strain of child-bearing. She Cin buy a charming little mountain cabin or fi weather-beaten seaside farmhouse, and putter with it and make it perfect, find presently have intelligent women friends up for week ends, and decide that there is nothing like freedom frOm f?.mily ties.

They know that they 1 have dodged the really vital side of life, and Ailed its place with make- .believe-; clubs and clothes and business success and old silver spoons and new cars. These are not life. When the years begin to creep into the sixties there is nothing quite so alone as the unmarried man or woman. Even the widower has his sacred memories, and perhaps his children and their children to remind him that he still has strong ties with life. A thousand tender pictures come back to him; he sees his lovely young wife spent and trium-^ phant in a hospital bed, with her child in the curve of her arm. He sees the little six-room house, the shaky slip of an apple tree, the fireplace with plaster and chips still piled in it, and again they are viewing their own home, their first owned home. He remembers the blazing logs in winter, breakfast under the apple tree in summer, Christmases, measles, money cares, high holidays. Ha, remembers that her last Jaok, .tired and,, gray and glad to close Mr eyes, was Cor him. Nor is this one-millionth part of what the unmarried lose, and never know they lose. Marriage Should Be Glamorous For 1 don't think they are to . blame. I think it's the married folk who are to blame. I don't think they make marriage attractive enough. 1 don't think they' preserve carefully, enough the glamour and th? miracle. If husbands and wives always spoke to each other kindly; if they built up an increasing and multiplying qredit of confidence and goodness in the baoK that is their life together; if they Valued their 'children, loved them, dramatized the exquisite beauty of the nursery; if they made light ot money worries, saved, planned^ rejoiced in their life together--then there would, be no bachelors, and every girl who got a good husband would feel herself blessed among women. The old financial dependence won't come back. A man no longer h$s to make a home and pay all expenses fOr a houseful of women, o'd women, children, babies. Everything is easier now; everyone lives separately. Mother has a lucrative jo£, and the very teen-agers break away and set up bachelor establishments of their own. But the old values remain. Using canned pie-crust and dropping gar bage into an incinerator tub*; flooding the house with electric lights and keeping halls and bathrooms at June temperatures all the year 'round, telephoning downstairs for company dinners- and leaving De troit at dawn to lunch at Scotts in Piccadilly--all this is exciting. But it never will take the place of the real values of life; it never will fill a man's or a woman's soul with the deep content, the trembling pride, the fears and hopes, despairs and victories, that are true marriage. It never will give them the faithful Arm' clasp of another hand on theirs, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse. the home of Miss Josephine Dosch, with Mrs. Christine Krinn acting- as eo-hostess.
