In a recent addros.^ Mr. Kenneth DuDRtan, Vije-P-esident of tlie Hell Telephone Company, suKgesled to tho Toronto local Council of Women, that a ittuatiion was rapidly developing in the relations of the sexes to domeetic relationships that would speedily de- mand attention from the feminine pop- ulation. In Germany, for example, there are to-day five million men of marriageable age and a like number of women. Tho advent of the exten- sive employment of women has kept the w«K«« of a certain number of men so tow it is Impossible for them to marry. Suicides of one in the have resulted from boys being unable to ge» employment they desired. The question is, whether we shall employ married women and have two produc- er! in tho family, instead of one. Women who prefc, to remain single most, of course, be permitted to take pot luck in comncling for work with the other sex, but there can surely be no two opinions about the unde-'ir- nbility of married women re .iani.ig In the labor markc' a^ v.nee c?.rr.-'.s, while the-? are h""bnnds ii-rablo, through such compi'.Iti. r., to r't em- ployment.
