Whether 'tis hotter, after all, to marry And bo cajoled and bullied by a husband, Or to take up stenography or clerk ing, And slave, alas! for SOME ONE ELSE'S husband? To love to wed and by a wedding end Tho struggles nnd the thousand pet tv en res That "slaves" are heir to 'tis a rare vocation Devoutly to be wished fori To love! to wed To wed poi chance DIVOHCE! Aye. there's tho rub! For In thnt dream of bliss what Jolts may come When we have cast aside our Httlo Jobs, Must mako us wnry. There's the sorry thought That makes so many spinsters hesi tate; For who would bear tho long, eter nal grind, Th' employers Jokes, tho chief clerk's contumely, The Insolence of office boys, th.1 smoko Of last week's stogies clinging to the hair, When she herself might quickly end It all Uy (JETTING MAUUIED?

Thus cowardice makes spinsters of so many! 1 OFTEN think that mothers nre tho worst press agents on earth, and that thoy do far more to mieor tholr daughters' fortunen than they do, to boost them. . Practically every woman who bus girls, Is on n still hunt for husbands for them, sayH Dorothy Dlx. She wants to see them married off and settled In homos of their own, with their shopping tickets assured for llfo. To this end flhu attempts to pre sent her daughtera In an attractive light to tho masculine eye, and It Is tho blunders that she makes In this, direction that are ho appalling and so pathetic, for nine times out of 10 Instead of casting u rosy halo about the girl, mother succeeds lu robbing her of whatever charms she has. For Instanco, the other day I was at a dinner given lu honor of a wo man from tho middle west nnd her very pretty nnd attractive daughter. Thuro woro several delightful young men present who were Just beginning to got tbcir reel well planted on the ladder of success, and any one of whom would have boon a good mntch for tho' girl, for they were all men with fortunes. Hut mother calmly announced: "Mablo told them all at home that she was going to Now York lu search of u millionaire, nnd that no pikers need apply." Possibly the speech was Intonded as a Jest, but it was an expression of a desire so sordid, so moreonary. so vulgar that It fell like a wet blanket over tho entire com pany, and, push it aside as we might, none of uh could see the girl a any thing but n miserable little fortune hunter, willing to sell herself to the highest bidder. "That lets us out, doesn't It?" one of the young men said with a scarce ly veiled Hiieer to the other men. "we can't qualify In the mllloluairo class by about $l00.!)l)ii.7fi." Left ller Alone. Furthermore, not ono of the young inon who was Invited to the dinner to meet this girl paid her the slight est attention while she was in the city, although they would havo liked her, and been nlco to her, and made her have a good time had It not been for her mother's assertion that she was in search of a husband with money. Tho gill's most malicious oneiny could not have done her a worse turn than her mother did by her Idiotic speech. Nor Is this type of mothers rare. J i nave Known hundreds of women married to men lu moderate clrcum stancos who made no bones of pro claiming to any ono they knew that they didn't Intend that their (laugh tors should marry poor men rcul have to work and economize as the had had to do. A mother of t Ill's febrt Is as good a scarecrow to keep suitors away from her daughters as human Ingenuity can Invent. The man who has his own fortune to make certainly does not want to marry the daughter of a woman who had not tho courago to do her part In assisting lior husband, nor tho affec tion to make her feel that It Is a priv ilege to holp bear the bunions of one you love, so tho levol-headed man. who wants a wife who will be a holp. mnto Instead of a hindrance, keeps away from girls that have boon brought up by such a mother. Nor CONTRIBUTIONS concerning social happenings, intended for publication in the society depart ment of The Times, must bo sub mitted to tho editor not later than ,G o'clock p. in., Friday of each week.

These are familiar utterances of mothers and daughters, ami with daughters that they nre anxious to marry off. too. Isn't that mi Insane line of talk to hand out a n recom mendation for wives?

Tho for their daughtera Is to nllo finery they can't afford on the girl's backs. They think that attracts men. where as It scares men off. When a sensi ble man sees a poor girl dressed like a millionairess ho sets her down as heartless, selfish and frivolous. He says to himself that she's working her poor old father to death to gj;t good clothes to flaunt herself about In, or she's going in debt for thorn, or she's willing to starvo the fanillv to adorn herself, and none of that for him. thank you. He wants some thing lu a wife with more to It than a fashion plate. Of course mother means well. She's doing the best sho can to boost daughter, hut she doesn't understand her business as a press agent becauso It never soenis to occur to her to say that Sallle Is a nice, strong, healthy girl, who knows how to work, and Isn't afraid of It, and Is ready to help any young man that she falls in love with hustle for a fortune. Yet that's the dope that would go with men. t ' PRETTY HOME WEDDIXO. I At the home of tho brldo's parents. Mr. ami .Mrs. E. A. Stophans, 1010 Sa lor street. Portland. Oregon.
