And yet those qualities 30 essential in

blacksmith's daughter of II century ago. and
seldom in the bankers daughter OF to-day.
The sensible young man knows this, and
though he seeks the acquaintance Of the ac-
complished society lady he is loath to
make her his wife. In fact, this is the reason
why young men don't marry.

Not Enough to Go Round.

To he Editor:
Young men do marry. There are as many
marriages contracted to-day as there ever
were. That all girls can marry is out of
the question, when statistics say there are
eight females to every male, and Utah is
only small place.
The plaIntive cry, why don't the young
men marry?" comes evidently from girls,
whose ill-concealed anxiety to be married
has been instrumental in keeping them
single.
II is the ever-anxious class OF girls that
are not married. A young man will not fall
in love with one OF that class; he will find
himself unconsclonsly drawn to the quiet.
