Why?

A certain London journal, Vanity
Fair, has been discussing social topics
like "Why Men Marry" Why Women
Marry" and so on, and presents some
ingenious arguments in support of its
theories. 1t would seem simple and
sufficient answer TO say that men and
women marry for the same reason that
dogs delight. etc" for lis their nature,
too" But Vanity Fairs suggestions are
entertaining enough to reprint:
The Willingness Of women to marry is
greater and more potent than that of
men; and, we will add, that it is a greet
deal more wonderful. That women
have, to use a colloquial phrase, the
worst of it all through life, we entertain
no doubt, and that the matrimonial
state, as understood by experience, has,
AS rule, fewer attracti, Ms for them
than man, we also believe to be true.
Yet, while there are many men who
from choice abstain from marrying, and
still more who put OF marrying till the
last practical moment, we doubt if there
are any women worth mentioning who
refuse the married state from option and
deliberatioD, and not many who postpone
marrying till late period of lite from
a general repugnance to having II
husband That women refuse individ.
ual men, and sometimes GO on refusing
man after man, is true enough; but then
their objection is to the man and not to
the condition of life the man proposes:
or, not unfrequently, their refusal ar
rises from mere skittishness, from feel
ing that they may do better, or from a
cheerful conviction that there is plenty
of time to think about IT," As a rule,
however, women who have the chance of
marrying, marry; and they would marry
yet more promptly than they do, were it
not that they are frequently put back
from taking foolish step by wise
parents or dissuading friends. How is
apparent paradox to be planned? There
is less To induce women to marry than
to induce men; yet men hesitate TO
marry and women jump at marriage.
Some ONE will answer that mean is
rational and woman an irrational animal,
but over and above the distinction being
toe uncomplimentary to be true, it il
one of those plausible explanations that
explain nothing. Again, tits sometimes
affirmed that, in marrying, men sacrifice
liberty, whereas women, IN marrying,
acquire it. But this il an epigram
easily disposed Of When men sacrifice
what is called their liberty by marrying,
they are already tired Of their liberty.
or that particular form of it which bach
elorhood enjoys; and were the point thor.
oughly examined, we suspect it would oe
found that they abandon form of lilo
erty of which they are weary, for anoth-
er form they have not yet possessed.

About Young Women whom Nature
Made Graceful.

Young women, whom nature made
graceful, tender, delicate, affect to de-
spise both the duties and limitations of
their sex and study mainly how to make
themselves the most like men, pretending
to be what they are not, and to pose for
what they can never be. Or they adopt
the airs and graces of another school
altogether, and are ultrafeminine, artis-
tic and aesthetic to their finger tips
women to whom the homely life of work
and duty is a degradation, common sense
the denial of the higher spirits, and afec-
tation the altar to which the domestic
altar is raised and the daily tribute
brought. Who does not know these
artistic daughters of the commonplace!
These impossible expounders of @sthet-
les ? Homely in feature and clumsy in
form, they drape themselves in the flow
ing, tight fitting garments of the ideal
lady of medieval times; she whose lines
should be all long and slender and
instinct with naturafgrace; long-yisages
and melancholy; they frizz out their
hair, put on coguettish hats, much be-
ribboned and be lowered, and 90 as near
to group of the phedresses after Wat
teau as the times will allow; with small
twinkling black eyes, snub noses and
roguish faces, they pile up their heads in
PompadOur or ape the sweet ma jesty of
Marie AntOipettes four feet nothing in
height. and round not say pody about
the waist and hips, they attempt that
swimming, gliding walk which goes only
with lengthy kind of willow wand, but it
is impossible to all else: but if they are
tall and lean, they probably skip and
prance like youthful fairies, thinking
that art can conquer nature, and that
a sufficient amount of atftctatiOn can
make them seem TO be what they are
not. This is one exhibition of airs and
graces patent in London society, where
everything is set forth save naturalness.
That independence which is part of the
English character, happily for us, every
now and then blossoms out into bold
ecceptricities, which prove nothing but
individual hardihood, and the aesthetic
style of dress is one of them. For, unless
there is the most absolute harmony be-
tween the style and the person, nothing
il more ludicrous than these affectations
of costume. But oddly enough. for the
most part that harmony is wanting, and
the woman who hes spent precious time
in studying patterns, tints and orna-
ments, knows nothing of the exigencies
of her own style, or how to utilize what
she has, supply what she has not, and
conceal what she ought not to have.
Large feet wear glazing stockings and
voyant slipper; scrsggy shoulders low
dresses, an inch below their neighbor's;
short, thick threats wear puffy frills aud
broad black velvet bands, while straight,
smooth hair, the merit of which is its
silkness, is tortured into the staring
spectres of curls and ciimps; and hair
that no ingenuity can make to lie
straight il plastered and braided down,
worn a la Chinoise when nature impera-
lively demands fringy and fuzz and
refuses compromise.-London Queen.

Crown braids are very fashionable
again, aud there are many double braids
in crowns; these are liked by short la
dies, as they add TO their height, espe.
cially when made of the light fluffy
crimped braids; tall ladies use the heavy
smooth braids that lie close to the head
Hair-dressers arrange crown braid OF
hair slightly crimped, and finished on
each end with little cluster OF five or
six short curls that meet low at the
back, making a pretty Psyche couture.
Finger puffs are not much used; they
have been arranged in stiff set rows, or
else stuck about on the head so negli
gently and in such impossible places
that they have lost their favor. In their
stead are knots of hair, or else bow, or
single long loop; for instance, instead
of filing up the crown braid with puffs,
the wearer's own hair is tied very high,
and brushed forward to form a single
long loop that fills US the crown.
Many young ladies continue to wear
the thick, clustering Montague locks of
crescent shape on the forehead and tenn.
Piles. These are very becoming to oval
faces, but they shorten round faces un.
pleasantly. Long curls at the back and
sides are not used; the short Greek clus-
ter of curls for the back and tuft for
the side or center of the crown are more
fashionable. There is fancy for rails
ing the crown braid slightly higher on
one side, and just below this is an orna-
mental knot Of hair, or else the spray of
flowers, or feather, or a jeweled orna-
ment is placed here; only a single very
small ornament is aided to the fancifully
dressed hair.
Gray hair is the most expensive hair,
now that hair dyes have gone out of
fashion. Formerly, dealers were reluc-
family compelled to take several ounces
of gray hair in every case of imported
hair; now they are made to pay more
for gray hair than for any other, not ex-
Ger ting the golden blonde or the rare
Titan red. The white gray hair-not
that with blue tinges--is really fash
ionable shade. Silver gray hair, that
looks like handsomely powdered hair, is
not considered gray enough. Ladies ask
hair-dressers to bleach their natural hair
when it is turning gray, but this cannot
be done with safety. Oils and pomades
are not used on the hair. Frequent
shampoonings are advised by the hair
d-essers, and a great deal of brushing
done by strong, swift strokes to bring
out the natural oil of the hair. and thus
make it look glossy without looking

the rate at which tramps are increasing,
but few years would elapse, before people
would be afraid to live in
the country save IN communities,
large enough to insure the constant
presence of two or more men. 1t is worse
than folly TO waste sympathy on class OF
men who have not sufficient selt-respect to
keep themselves clean. Experience shows
that the only way to deal with them is to
treat them as Migrants and criminals. The
majority of them, if they are not criminals
in fact, are criminals in intent. All they
want is the opportunity, and their true
character wall quickly display itself Their
hand is against every honest mans hand
and every honest mans hand
will be against them. They must be got
rid of some way or other, and the surest
way at present seems to be vigorous en-
forcement of the vagrant laws. The argu-
ment that men are tramps from necessity is
not tenable. In a country like this, work
can always be found which will yield a
1vng at least In this State there is al
ways demand for honest laborers, as there
is in every other State The work offered
may not always be the kind Of work that q
man wants to do, but beggers must not be
choosers.
On our editorial page, to-day, we call
attention TO the new game law but feeling
that we can scarcely make the matter too
conspicuous we here refer to it again. A
penalty is prescribed for killing deer or
| wild turkeys between the 10Th of January
and the LIST of September. Prairie chicken
must not be killed at any time between
December LIST and August 18th. Quail and
rufled grouse are protected during the in
terval between January lst and October
lst The killing of each bird or animal
constitutes a separate olfense and subjects
| the offender to a fine of not less than five
nor more than twenty-five dollars. InaDil-
ity to pay the fine subjects the guilty party
to Imprisonment for period not exceeding
ten days. The law further provides that
the birds enumerated shall at no time be
taken with trap, snare or net, under sim
liar penalties; and any dealer convicted of
purchasing trapped, shared or nctted birds,
renders himself liable to precisely the same
penalty. Now, having said this much, that
no one who reads The BULLETIN may
violate the law ignorantly, we have to say,
as an item Of intelligence, that a number
of responsible gentlemen, living in differ
ent portions of Alexander county, have ex-
pressed a determination to prosecute every
violation of the law of which they become
advised. We admonish those who have
been given to the killing OF game whenever
inclination moves them, to lookout The
wanton destruction Of quail through the

dozen, has begotten a determination on the
part Of our people, in country as well as
town. to prosecute violators of the law, let
them be whom they may. 1t would be
well for everybody concerned, to bear this
fact constantly in mind.
