Should Women Marry?
Several prominent lady writers contribute brief articles on this subject to • The Temple Magazine * for April. Adeline Sergeant says it * sometimes happens nowadays that on her marriage day a woman exchanges freedom and variety for bondage and monotony, ambition and success for dulness and drudgery, a circle of congenial friends for the scant cornpauinship of one man at breakfast and dinner, and Mr the rest of the day a loneliness only “diversiiied by the chance of a or a conflict between housemaid and cook. F r a clever capable woman there is not even ‘position’ to be gained by marriage; she can make a position for h r?elf. The economic indepen lence of' women is herein implied. ' When a woman can earn a good income, fill a ■ place of responsibility, rise even to honor and renown, why should she marry for money or for a home.
