Any girl with a little imagination can see when events are tending to euch a climax, and If she doesn‘t want the man she will head him off in another direction. Anyhow, thore is something simpler about asking a person straight out to marry you than there is about waiting to be asked! After all, you can get the first over, while the second may go on indefinitely. Yot this is precisely the position that many women find themseives in today. _ Underneath everything, woâ€" man has a‘lways been more protective than man. People only "M{ke to think Porsonally 1 do not think so! Let us put it like this. Ordinary men are luckier than ordinary women. The average womgn toâ€"day has to wgrk for her living. She would travel round the world in search of adventure if she had the means. But few women have. And though times have changed it is still possible â€"for a woman to "rough" it in quite the same way a man can, and there are still places where it is not wise or safe for a woâ€" man #o venture alone. Simpler for a Man. Life is simpler all the way round for a man. Perhaps he expects less than the average woman does, and therefore is not so easily disappointed. Man takes the initlative every time. He givesâ€"or should giveâ€"the first inâ€" vitation to dance, dinner, or theatre, and if "she" treads on his toes, eats inelegantly, or laughs too loudly, he need never ask her again. There is a good deal of taik toâ€"day : awbout equality and various strongâ€" minded, and presumably ablebodied, females assure us that what a man | can do a woman can do also! The! case of a charming woman explorer of | our time has been quoted frequently as an example. Such wonderful things, | we are told, are possible for any modern woman, and therefore it ls‘ much more wondarful to be a woman | than it is to be a man! I I do not, like some women, wish I had been born a man. There are comâ€" pensations in life for women, although I do not think that they are as great as some people would have us believe. Yet at an age when we would hardly permit her to pick out a pair of shoes unaided, we let her jeopardize her whole life‘s happiness by selecting a husband. And she.picks him out on the same principle that she would a new hat, because he is zoodâ€"looking, and happens to strike her fanty for the moment, or because some other girl wapnts him, and it fires her sporting blood to take him away from her. She rarely gives a thought to his wearing qualities, or whether he will suit her needs or not. It is literally and sadly true that to a young girl a Too Young to Choose. d & Marriege is no game for children. It is a gamble even for their elders, and if these axperts who have had exâ€" perience of life and who have knowâ€" ledge of themse‘ves and knowledge of the world so often lose, what chance have unsophisticated amateurs of winâ€" ing? her teons is capable of choosing a husâ€" band.

A higher standard alâ€" ways has been, and probably always will be, set for women.
