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 w < wß' i .A W 7 Gertrude Atherton. 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 and wife moll . ( -|o S ely together-pro vided there exists a proper devotion be. 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 many mediums that one , an not but help gain by wisdom. Constant associ ation. rubbing elbows, if you will with the opposite sex has had much to do with this dethroning of romance. A girl Is but human, the same a« the boy. and she likes athletic sport..- lU) J follows them with equal interest in fact, the\* become pals, so to speak Golf links, rowing, motoring, etc, may be said lo be the means of killing our old-fashioned romance, but I can’t be lieve it that way Perhaps in .1 larg< city, where a girl Is natiiallj shut up ,nd denied eoifi panionship. sh< will adhere to such ro mantic Ideals, but to girls who come in constant association with life as it really is. th*- aim- old-fashioned ro man*. taints with sentlnif-ntallty, I b«-||.-v.
