Gertrude Atherton Advises Girls on Marriage
DON’T WED UNTIL THIRTY
Trend of Women Now Toward
Independence, Declares a
Famous Novelist.
By GERTRUDE ATHERTON.
Recognized as One of the Greatest Lit
erary Women of the Age.
I think the tendency of the modern
woman is a greater and greater leaning
toward independence. The modern wom
an, perhaps, will not marry unless she
be a woman who wants a family. Here
tofore in years gone by woman was
taught by tradition to believe the cul
mination of ideal womanhood was mar
riage—an ideal that has undergone a
vast change within the last ten years.
It is a sort of natural climax brought
on by modern evolution of. well, any
commercialism, perhaps. The strife for
livelihood makes necessary the secur
ing of employment by girls and women.
They are simply compelled to support
themselves—a condition that is as much
of an ideal to some as a tragedy to
others.
That is why they won't marry merely
for the sake of being supported. A
woman, of course, whose sou! is yearn
ing for a home, naturally will marry
earlier than a girl whose ambition im
pels the seeking of a career, whether it
be art. music, the stage or any other
goal.
To me it seems there is nothing more
tragic than for a woman who is not
domestically inclined, has no particular
yearning toward motherhood, whose
innermost soul strives for. perhaps, a
career, where her individuality can as
sert itself, to be shackled by wedlock
and her ambition and talent di. of in
anition.
More Careers Are Opened,
Yet, these same women will do their
sacred duty, and live on with men
whose evening home coming is dead
ened by a day's toll where business ex
hausts them. I believe careers are
open to a very great number of women
that heretofore were denied them, solely
to this so-called feminine movement.
Matrimony has been the ideal for so
many years that woman has been led to
believe marriage was the apex of her
existence. Anybody knows there are
many families where happiness is not
what it should be, where neither the
wives nor husbands are happy, to say
nothing of the children.
Now they find their walks of life
where they will develop in comfort.
Man wants a variety in business to
keep from becoming stagnant; the
same should apply to the wife, for cer
tainly domesticity will Jiave a tendency
to dwarf as much as a business office.
That is why I believe woman is becom
ing more of a factor to be reckoned
with, for she is finding her place.
As for the effect on home life, I don't

think there will be a material change.
Aside from the servant question, which
is far more important than the question
of whether a woman should vote or
not, a woman that want- a home will
have a home.
Even at that, if she wants to vote,
become broader through public contact
with important events and national af
fairs and become interesting in general
I can't see where the world is going to
suffer such a shock.
“Childless Woman Not Worthless.”
A woman who is homeless or child
less should not be put on a shelf as
worthless. Some are far more equip
ped for general usefulness after having
passed the 30-year mark than when
emerging from their 'teens.
1 know one woman in England whose
wealth would permit her to have every
can- of her eight children attended to
by servants or maids, yet she gives a
part of ther time to suffrage, has been
jailed for the cause, and yet attends to
all her children herself and fairly wor
ships them.
Os course, there are some men who
neglect their homes, or would from any
| cause, hut., generally speaking, man
I does not slight his home for the sake
of voting.
I -ike the woman’s club, for instance.
The rich and fashionable follow sports,
so t<> speak—the golf links,
motoring, etc.—and have other count
less diversions. Should the domestic
woman simply live on in idleness’
That is the blessing of clubs.
A woman may have any number of
children, who in time marry or leave
home. It is a godsend that such a
woman should have a club to relieve
the monotony of merely living in the
past. No. 1 do not believe woman's
clubs are going to be the means of
breaking up many homes, regardless
ot a few beliefs to the contrary
In the past woman could not take
any Initiative in politics, ait, music or
other development of her talent, be
cause men did not uphold it; but now
suffrage has aided materially in dis
pelling this fallacy. If her individual
ity <ravcs for hearing, she not only is
justified, but men actually uphold her;
and this, I believe, will do much to
ward woman's enlightenment—not as a
medium of breaking up homes.
Suffrage as Aid to Romance.
Rather than a destroyer of romance,
suffrage should tend to bind a husband

tween the two. y, iu have heard men
say th ey coulrl not talk of rPrtaln Rnb
jects at horn-, because their wives were
not informed. On the other hand, many
a man comes home from business cares
in a state of physical exhaustion Such
men would not gain much by having a
wife to continue the day's work in a
political discussion. Yet if such a man
did desire to have wife interesting and
well informed the question is open as
to whether she would act as a bore to
him m- the contrary
Knowledge is diffused through so

back and is now ready to take up her house-wifely
duties. She finds here and there a want. It may
be curtains here and draperies yonder, rugs in this
room or portiers in that. Foreseeing the wants of
