MARITAL CONSULTATION OFFICE
Proposals brought about by a matri-
monial expert.
Up two flights of broad stairs n stained
glass door ouened into the ante-room of the
consultation office. Through heavy damask
curtains n glimpse was had of two large,
handsomely furnished apartments Wilton
carpets covered the floor, the walls were fin
ished in Eastlake designs, and Queen Anne
furniture lent to the place more the air of a
modern d~rawing-room than of a business
office.
The visitors card was taken by a coffee
| colored man in a dress suit, who disappeared
for a moment behind the curtains, emerging
| again with the invitation to walk in, coupled
with the reassuring assertion that the matri-
monial expert was willing to see her visitor.
A young lady, heavily yelled and richly
dressed, talked in low tones to her mother on
a low divan just within the curtained en-
trance. In the further apartment n lady of
perhaps - years, with an intelligent face
surmounted by Dangtry bangs and wearing
a close fitting black silk, rose in acknowledge
ment of the request to see the matchmaking
expert. There was nothing OF the catch
penny matrimonial bureau air about her as
the details of her profession, as she called 1t,
were explained at length.
"You see, ~ she began, with a little laugh,
81 call myself a matrimonial expert, which
is rather indefinite. l should more properly
term myself an expert in reading the symp-
toms of love. My business is not so much one
of bringing about marriage, which is n second
airy consideration, ms its of deciding whether
a lover means marriage or means only to
while away n few idle hours in the company
Of his inamorata. SO this office is in no
sense a matrimonial bureau. 1t is simply a
consultation Office"
"But is there any demand for such n pro-
fcssion as yoursf'
Rather was the laconic response. NEW
York is full of young men fairly well off
club moi in good standing and men of old
families, who, however, never mean to marry.
These confirmed bachelors pay court season
after season to the daughters of our richest
and most highly-connected residents. They
become attached to n girl, after a fashion,
| and by assiduous attention and careful fiat
terry drive other admirers from the field or rel
egate them to subordinate position. With
sublime impudence these young fellows as
sumo an air of protection, of ownership to-
wards their lady friends, which is as decep-
tive to the susceptible misses as it is to other
manageable male acquaintance. By these
| arts a well bred, well-educated man easily
establishes for himself a peculiar standing in
the eyes of the young lady and Of her family.
His devotion is marked, his attentions thor
oughly respectful and apparently serious, and
he is believed to DO only waiting a favorable
opportunity to ask the momentous question,
which is to unto two hearts as one. But the
| question is never asked.
