Women To Blame for Decreasing
MARRIAGES.

Women can not ask men to marry them
lat least, they do not exerise that pre-
rogative. even in leap year. Although the
magic bissextile is now upon us, we do
not think 1t will embolden young women
to pop the question themselves. They will
continue to be asked to wed in the good
old way. Therefore, as women have not
the courage to ask men to wed them, the
decline in matrimony may by the thought
less be ascribed wholly to the men. But
this only a superficial view. 1t is the
opinion, of philosophers that it is the wo-
mar who marries the man. He does not
always know it. She. plays her cards SO
deftly that he generally imagines he has
caused her to fall in love with him; that
he then has become Interested in her,
has slightly returned her affection, and
n q lordly way proffered her his hand.
rms is an error. In nine cases out of ten
the woman makes up her mind to marry
a certain man, and in five cases out of
nine she succeeds. If. therefore,, marriage
continues to decline in this State, it is
the fault of the young women. Either
they make the men too fearful of matrf-
money or they themselves are not fasci-
mating enough. In either case the blame
must fall upon their shoulders.-San Fran
