Why are There Any Unmarried Wom-

cricket ON the Hearth.
one of the greatest social problems
of the day is to explain why there are
50 many marriageable women who
never get married. Some say that IS
owing to an excess in numbers OF Wom-
en- over men in consequence of which
there are not enough husbands to 90
around.
This. however, is disproved by statiS-
ties. Take the world through, and the
figures show that there are rs many
men in it as there are women. Others
attribute it to the eXpensiveness Of
modern life.
Men do not marry because it is said
that they cannot afford to. But the
fact is, that no man who truly loved a
woman ever hesitated to become en-
gagged to her and eventually may her
because of poverty. There are cold
bloOded men. with no idea of feeling
of women stronger than langud admir-
alton, who may he deferred from as
suming what they regard as a burden
in the shape OF a wife. unless assured
of liberal income. but most are not
so calculating Others, again attribute
the evil of womens faStidousneSs.
They eXepct too much in a husband.
and, while waiting for an impossible
shadow. let the possible substance slip
through their lingres.
This is libel on the sex. AS Il rule
they are not no more fastidious than
men are, and are just rs susceptible as
men TO that enchantment of love which
invests its object with every perfection
and covers up every fault. 80 far rs
men and women are concerned. they
are rs prone to marriage now as in any
period of the worlds history. Never
thelcss, there are the women waiting
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 70 be needed is
Il more thorough method of bringing
men and women into social con-
tact with each other.

Were Our Ancestors Fools?

Boston Herald.
Several years ago there died in ives
tern Massachusetts a venerable lady
who for fifty years had been possessed
with the singular whim OF preserving
and making kind of museum of com.
paratiVe fashions out of her old bon
nets. Beginning with the one she had
worn as a blooming bride, she never
stopped until she had hung mp at the
end of the line the last that had crown

he admitted to the huge attic. on pegs
around which was suspended this chro-
biological attestation Of mutability Of
human taste and caprice were wont to
go into fits OF laughter over the specta-
Gle.
How their grandfathers could have
ever married their grandmothers. when
the latter made such frightS OF them
selves, seemed past comprehension.
The startled imagination felt itself
confronted with antediluvian epoch. in
which such terrific megatheria and
pterodactyles of bOnnets prevailed
that the wonder was how the most uu-
damted of men could have ever dared
to venture Il marriage-propoSul 20 any
face that would enSconc itself under
such nodding horrors.
80 are the young in the pride of to-
day ever tempted to make sport of
their grandmotherS; grandmotherS, per
haps, who in the flush of their prime
could have done an execution from
out under their sugar-scoops with their
spirited eyes and blooming cheeks that
would have left their presumtuous
ridiculers of to-day nowhere in the
race.
