Why are There any Unmarried
rau .f0 Women. GH

From the Cricket on the Hearth.
One of the greatest social problems
of the day is to explain why there
are SO many marriageable women
who never get married. Some say
that it is owing to an excess in num-
Der of women over men, in conse-
quence of which there are not hus-
bands enough to go round. This,
however, is disproved by statistics.
Take the world through, and the
figures show that there are as many
women in it as there are men. Others
attribute it to the expensiveness of
modern lite. Men, do not marry be-
cause, it is said, they cannot afford 70.
But the fact is, that no man who
truly loved a women ever heSitated
to become engaged to her and even
tually married her because of poverty.
There are cold blooded men, with no
idea of any feeling.atQr a woman
stronger JhaR farguid zdtmirarion;'
who may be deferred from assuming
what they regard as a burden in the
shape of a wife, unless assured of a
liberal income, but most are not SO
calculating. Others again attribute
the evil TO woman's tastidiousness.
They expect too much in husband.
and, while waiting for an impossible
shadow, let the possible substance
slip through their fingers. This is a
libel on the sex. AS a rule they are
no more fastidious than men are, and
are just as susceptible as men to that
enchantment Of love which invests
its objects with every perfection and
covers up every fault. So far as men
and women themselves are concerned
they are as prone to marriage now as
in any period of the worlds history.
Nevertheless, there are women watt
ing for husbands and not getting
them. They are pretty, they are
accomplished, they are sensible, and
under proper training they would
| make excellent wives and mothers !;
but they never get a chance. What
seems to be needed is more
thorough method of bringing men
and women into social contact with
each other. a1 fs.- 81

A Colonial Governors Wedding.

as follows: "We stand before the

reminded OF story which we will

and when his horse SHE'D at shadow,
down he came headlong.
For a time he lay stunned 'and
senseless; ano when, at length, a be-
lated neighbor stumbled on him, it
was found that, in addition to sundry
serious bruises, he was suffering from
a fractured arm.
Next day Ambrose sat gloomy

chair, wishing, more or less sincerely,
that his neck, instead of his arm, had
been broken. No one yet knew the
occasion of the ride which had
brought on his mishap, and he deter.
mined never to divulge it. He would
pine in secret.
A tap at the door was followed by
visitor-the very last person in the
world Ambrose was expecting. 1t
was Lucy Denyse who hustled in,
her face full of sympathy and pity.
