why Marriages Are Fewer.
IProyidenec Jonrnall


Since the advent of women into circles OF
business where once only men were to be
found, there has been complaint of decline
in the marriage rate. The philosophers have
not decided whether the two facts are coinci-
dences, or stand to each other in the relation
of cause and effect; butts LADY clerk" in the
Treasury Department at Washington throws
a great light upon the discussion. She says
that when girl is kept at home, surrounded
by girls. and hears of the greatness OF the
masculine part of The genus homo, only
meeting him at picnics and in the parlOr,
she conceives rather exalted idea of what
he really is. But when she comes out and
meets men as they really are, away from the
gasligbt's uncertain glitter her idol is rude
ly scattered. They know the sex better than
they did, and so the right man is harder to
find. This is important testimony. 1t bears
directly on two or three social questions of
the day which pertain to the elevation of
women, her emancipation" her rights and
her duties
