A recent magazine writer has
given US, under the above cap
ton. an interesting and effective
plea for the rich girl who is not
married but would not object to
being married. He points out
that the poor young man. no mat-
ter how talented, energetic or
worthy he may be. hesitates TO
make advances OF a serious ma.
ture in the direction of a wealthy
young woman. because it might
be inferred that his motives were
selfish. But this magazine writer
replies that some of the rich
young bachelors will continue to
insist upon marrying poor young
girls. and consequently there is
no relief for the rich young wo-
man except in marrying a poor
young man.
And why not? Why shouldn't
the rich girls nov and then
marry poor young men? We dare
say that no one is disposed to
question their right to do this;
and why in its last analysis
should poor young men, if they
are energetic and gifted and
worthy, hesitate to address rich
young women? OF course, thepro-
cess is somewhat disappointing
as matter of fact. The associa-
tions of these different kinds of
young people are not always the
same, but. nevertheless, these
kinds of young people may bring
themselves together if they
choose. and if a young woman,
finding that poor young man
really seems TO deserve the best
sweetheart and wife in the world,
and if he is disposed to work and
win his way in the world, why
should this one hesltate9 And
on the other hand, if the poor
young man. conscious OF his
power. gifted, honorable. intends
without question to make his
way in the world, why shouldn't
his talents, his self-success be
matched against the advantages
CT the other? The wife may
have and use her patrimony, The
husband may make his fortune.
Brains are surely a match for
wealth. Many would prefer to
possess brains rather than
wealth; but what, let US ask, can
be the objection TO
combination of wealth and brains
in the same family? Give the
rich girls a chance; apd also give
the poor young men a chance to
WOO and to win the rich girls if
they are able.-Ex.
