He Is Supremacy Contented In His Single
Blessedness.
l do not marry for many reasons.
One reason is that am of very at
fectionate temperament. / feel quite
sure that it is better for me to love all
women, as l do now, than to have to
profess to love but one woman-my
wife.
Let me think of some more reasons.
As bachelor get a great many in
vitation cards and pleasant attentions
wherever I go. My married friends
don't have anything like as much luck,
and their wives make them angry by
wondering why it is so.
1t is exceedingly nice when dine
out to be paired Off with an unmarried
girl. My married friends look across
the table at me enviously. Any sort Of
married trump" is good enough for
them.
As l am, can do exactly as I like;
60 to bed at nine or three at my own
sweet will, and breakfast in bed or up
at any hour. Most husbands can by no
means do as they please, even in so
small matter as this. They are ex.
pected to be at home by ten or eleven
o'clock, or face cold coffee, cold eggs.
cold toast and cold looks next morn.
ing.
Every married man marries for hin
self-for his pleasure and comfort.
Am 1 to blame if choose to remain
single for the same purpose? There is
no absurder cant than the talk about
it being a mans duty to the race to
take wife.
Of course, too. there is the dreadful
possibility of the marriage turning out
i'll. 1t is next to impossible for a man
to say definitely: Il can be happy
with such woman for my wife" I
know sweet young girls who five years
from their wedding day were untidy,
coarse, negligent women, even openly
loving their children to the neglect of
their husbands. or openly Indifferent
to both husband and children.
This sort of thing is frightful to
think of. Married men in some cases
seem to get used to it, but it wearies
and kills the brighter part of them.
l do not write altogether as novice
in matters of the heart. l have been
in love over and over again. Some
how. though, have always put of
popping the question until some other
fellow has done it on his own account
Of all these girls whom might have
only one now. as a married
seems to answer the expecta-
tons had formed of her. The realiza-
ton of this makes me more and more
fond of my bachelor freedom and ire
sponsibility. Besides, / have q gray
hair or two. and my habits are getting
fixed.
An astonishing number of men like |
myself remain single for reasons much |
ike those l have mentioned. Unmar- |
ried, we have one bird in the hand
How can we tell that |
We may get hold of that gay, long
tailed parOquet in the bush-married |
felicity. If we suddenly change our
state?
There is an ideal woman I should |
ike to marry. Some day I may meet
With some one who is tolerably like
her. Then, if am not too old, viii |
