"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Thursday, November 9, 1916 THE SPINSTER ISN'T UNHAPPY. Mere man is prone to take it for granted, in his philosophy of marriage, that to be single is to be infelicitous. The womanly woman has no doubt that if she met the right man there is no better task than to be his home to him. But if Fate has not brought her the other person, her life is still to live, and there may be The love she longs to give to one Made great enough to hold the world. Dr. Arthur HOLMES of State College told Pennsylvania teachers that three hundred and seventy-five thousand unmarried women of their profession in the United States are mainly cheerful and contented, and that the percentage of those who are happy is at least as high as it is in the case of those who are set in families. ======================================================
