PREFERENCE IN MARRIAGES,

As to physical preference, I confess
that have felt sufficient interest on the
subject to ask score of short men the
kind OF stature they most admire in
women, when they made the following
replies: Two were for medium size.
two for small, thirteen for tall, and
three for very tall. But, as may be
observed, twenty n hardly sufficient
number on which to base theory still
1t is enough to indicate that there are
probabilities in favor of it, and in the
absence of more extended tests am in
clined to believe that, where there are six
teen for and only four against, the small
man prefers the large woman. #
In such matter the rough sex is more
outspokeL. Indeed, it is common topic
among men to give description of the
woman they admire, while the modesty
that belongs to woman usually keeps her
from entering into details after the mas
cullne manner. 1t is only in moments of
corner expansion that the woman con-
tides to a friend that she has marked
preference, in which case she is more en-
thusiastic in her admiration than the
man. and invests her type with the at
tribute of heroism lt
If the affairs of civilized life permitted
seclusion, unbiased by any other consid-
Grafton than that of natural attraction,
guided as it would be by human intelli-
gence. the race would of course reach a
degree of perfection which it is far from
possessing at present. Genius and learn
ing would walk hand in hand with the
Venus of Milo and the Apollo Belvidere.
In this age the obstacles to such race
ameloration appear to be greater than
ever, for the most important considera-
tions now entertained in the union Of
man and woman have but little to do
with their mental, moral, and physical
mproyement.-Gd
