Many Celibates. Mostly Fools.
To the Editor:
Why don't men marry? There is only
one answer. though it Is put into an end
less variety of disguises which, candldly
interpreted. have the same meaning-sel-
fishness.
They won't marry, they say. until they
can support a wife in as much comfort as
she enjoys in her fathers house, although
he may have been forty years acquiring
his position. They want to shirk their
share of the battle of life and begin lust
where he left of. They are afraid of any
curtailment of their vices liberty" !"
they call them.
There is no spur to endeavor equal TO
that which impels n man who has "given
hostages to fortune" encouraged by q
true and loving wife. But fear that the
same remark applies to America that Car
lyle applied to England. viz; Thirty

Alas, Men Are Too Shy.

To n, Editor:
First, the young man is not At to
marry; secondly, because the young lady
won't marry him.
The reasons for young man not being
fit to marry are. first, lack of lucre
secondly. selfshness, that is. fondness
for pleasure and lack of that chivalrous
regard for woman which made true men
aud fathers of our ancestors; thirdly. that
attribute which q man should never know
-shyness.
1t is hard to believe that a man could
be truly in love and yet lack the nerve to
find out if his lady cares enough about
him TO marry him or to wait until he is
able to support her.
Fourthly, a Young mans love may be
so strong that he would not ask 0 girl to
leave n comfortable home and take up a
life that may be full of hardship. All
these reasons come under the head of not
being able to marry.
The second reason. viz. 1.-THE young
lady not being willing 10 marry the man"
needs no sub-dividing; it Is q chapter In
itself. RosEDALE.

To he Editor:
Take THE WORLD for q month. tot up
the number of homes made wretched by
the thoughtlessness. frivolities and in
discretions of the mistresses of homes,
and tell me if it is not enough to scare
young men.
You may think this rough on the fair
sex, but it is true. There are doubtless
thousands of straightforward. honest
young fellows willing and ready to marry
If they could but find quiet. sensible,
domesticated. home-loving wives. That's
the difficulty. OBsERvAST.
Bright Bessie's shrewd Theory.
To he Editor!
The young men of to-day seem to
think that they must dress as though
they were millionaires or else the young
ladies would not notice them. whereas if
they were to dress more plainly and
neatly they would gain more favor.
They also seem to be ashamed of do
mestic life. Ii one was asked to take
care of the baby or attend church. why
he'd have a fit and look at you as though
he wasn't sure whether you were IN your
right senses or not.
don't blame the girls for earning an
independent living. As for knowing how
to cook and keep house. girl with any
common sense at all would soon learn
how If she did not already know.
So, when the young chaps get ready to
come down a peg and not put on SO many
airs, l think there will be more mar
riages. BESSIE.
