City Life Kills Love.

TO ths EdItor:
Any one who 10 sincerely in love will wish
to get married. and will in q majority of
cases find q way" for his will. A young
woman in love SO trusts her loveras to have
no doubt Of his thrift in being able to pro-
vide for her. A young man never questions
the economical ability OF her whom he would
make his wife,
30 1t seems that the dearth Of marriage is
for the lack of love. What prevents this
love from rising? Simply the extravaganza
The tendency OF civilization is for people
to drift to cities, and it IL here the scarcity
OF marriage is noticed. Likewise it il here
and vice, which destroy pure. holy love.
To prove this, your statistics Will show
that in direct inverse ratio to the amount Of
vice in cities are the number OF marriages in
those same cities. AaEEs.

SARA"

We are all very ready nowadays to ~satirize
the foibles Of theatrical people. but there
are occasions when these foibles become In.
visible in the presence OF the vast kindliness
and the teeming generosity OF actors and
actresses. As | sat in palmer's Theatre yes
terday afternoon and law the welcome that
was accorded to Mrs. Rankin when. after
various tribulstions. she returned TO the
metropolitan stage. I could not help asking
myself II there we're any other profession so
admirably permeated with esprit de corps.
| could only frame a negative reply.
Sara, " a play by a be-spectacled young
woman, called on the programmes " Cecil
Grylls, was offered by Mrs. Rankin, and IL
may at once be said that the play is dis
tinctly interesting, well written and filed
with the elements OF popularity. 1t pos
sesses material that will wound those who
care vofy much about the probabilities, but
| do not believe that these will number very
many As long M we are interested we care
very little IL the interesting events could,
would or should have been. III fact we like
to emerge IRON the boiled-mutton monotony
OF our lives, aud give our i"maginations a
little airing.
Miss Cecil Gryll's play deals with the life
OF q certain Sara Lyons, who had welded an
adventurer Antoine La Rue. Sara was Amer
lean, aud | do sincerely hope that American
girls will never marry All Antoine until they
know how to pronounce his name. Antoine
goes To Paris and lives with a certain dash
ing Jeanne. sara m her child follow. He
rcpudiatca her aud has her cast into prison.
She IL incarceratod for a year, at the end Of
which time shc finds all avenues closed to
her. She commits n robbery when almost
starving and developers into q thief. Her
child has been taken from her and she de-
votes her lie to discovering the wicked
Jeanne and her own little roiuette. .
Sara has a very hard time OF it. There IL
an ubiquitous detective always on hand. and
the French law thickly in the atmosphere. |
cannot help thinking that II woman like Sara
Lyons would hardly have developed into the
tough that w see in the police court in

have caused her To act far differently. / am
also unwilling to believe that the pure. in

Single Tax Would Promote wedlocl

To The Editor :
Men do not marry on account Of taxing
the products of labor. For example,
q lot costs, say So, 900; house $5, 900;
total, $40. ooO. Thu tax on house lot
makes rents high, while the tax OF vacant
lots is little In comparison, as they are not
taxed at their true value.
Say they increase 20 per cent. per year.
they pay probably 3 per cent consequently
the owner pockets the rest and the tenant
has to pay the expenses Of the city through
