The recent sermon of Pastor Kloss , of
the Congregational church of Webster
Grove , Mo. , in which to promote mar *
riugu iu his bailiwick , ho recommends
thoyoaug wouienHo do the proposing ,
has created n great ferment iu the ed
itorial world and the paster has become
famous iu tx night. But there is nothing
neoetmrily stealing iu the proposition.
Whwn n man proposes , it la taken for
granted that he has made up his mind
that ho is willing and able to support
his beloved as Ids wife. Now that the
now women has coma and has entered
the industrial field aud achieved a con
siderable success iu competition with
the other sex , it is no more than fair
that if she fools able to cherish aud sup
port a husband she should bo nt perfect
liberty to select her man and moke him
the offer. It was iu the old times con
sidered bad taste for the lady to pro

husband should do the toiling for the
family. When that obstacle is removed
it is perfectly regular for the lady with
a good salary or income to tnko the in

"There Is everlasting strangling goIng -

raises n blister on your hand ; you touch
what you think is n leaf , and It gal
