M/MCCOWN Phone No. 22. ; More Women Marry than W.e Imagine j In the January Woman's Home Com ; panton Ida M. Tartell writes a most ? illuminative and interesting article en titled "What Women are Really Do I lng." Miss Tarbell takes occasion to refute with facts, which she has gath I ored by making a careful study of the I Thirteenth Census, some of the false j ideas on tho woman question which tare spread by platform speakers 1 throughout the country. The "plat form" says that "less than half of the forty-five million women of the coun try marry." "If we consider the 6ex as a whole, regardless of age, this is true. We have in the United States now 44,639, 9S9 females, inclunding all from one year and under to one hundred years and over. Fifty-two and seven-tenths per cent of these-babes, maids, and women- arc single, that is, literally less than half of the sex are married. But drop out those not yet of mar riageable age and you have a different story. There will, of course, be a dif ference of opinion about what is a marriagable agc; but let us call it j nineteen or over. If we settle on that, , we must drop at once from our est i : mate, something over twenty millions : of the sex. It puta a different com ' plexion at once on the marriage per centage. AB a fact, seventy per cent of those who are fifteen years or more ! old marry ; and if you raiBc the agc to ; twenty, 80 1-2 per cent marry; to . t-venty-flve, 86.7, per cent marry. ? i"But grant these figures to be cor rect-it is hard even for an orator to defy a census- and still t>e platform cries that 'women don't marry as they once did.' The truth is they marry j more freely than they did in l ?00 or 1890. There has been u gain of nearly two per cent in the number of mar riages of women over fifteen in'the j last twenty years ; and two per cent, j when desiinj- '.vith nearly thirty mi I lions, is a considerable number." - ".Made in America" (?owns. In the fashion department of the January WomanV Home Companion appear several designs for gowns made hy Amorlcan designers who used American manufactured fabrics. That America has genius and Initiative of its owu ls clearly shown in thc dif ferent types of costumes displayed. In each costume is home rich feature which will influence tho entire trend of the winter modes The following note appear in connection with one of the designs: "Of all the interesting costumes de signed by American designers and ex hibited at the Paterson silk show some time ago. the one that attracted most attentton was one not only of Ameri can design and fabric but its inspirer Hon. was also truly American. Our own Uncle Sam's costume offered the graceful lines cleverly worked into thiB two piece suit of silk. The frill, the collar; thc vest effect and the long coat tail are all suggestive bf Uncle Sam's coat. The fabric was blue taffeta." jj_ GIVE BOOKS this year.
