A Social Study.

Hope of happy marriage is cherished
in every maiden's heart. There is
much said about the Independence OF
the old maid, but the single state is
not an ideal social condition. In Lew.
is,on there are very many young ladies,
and the question of marriage is one of
moment to them and their friends.
The young ladies of Lewiston are gen.
orally accounted very good. 1t is not
out of place for the gentlemen to say
they are very good and very pretty. For
me to proclaim the mere charms of
form and feature would weaken the
declaration that they are possessed of
true worth above their class in other
communities.
In almost every home i'm the city
there are from one to four girls of mars
riageable age. How different from the
condition that existed ten years ago.
Then there were ten available young
men for every young lady. Now there
are ten young ladies to every available
young man. What Is the cause Of the
changed conditions:
The yOurg men of Lewiston have
many sins Of commission and commits
sion charged up to them. Only the
very good Of the class may be called
available offers in the matrimonial
market for the average Lewiston girl
The young man who IS familiar In the
resorts which, though excused by law,
are condemned by good society, is too
we'll known here. The passport to the
home should be certificate of good
moral character and surely the evidence
of moral worth has place in the con-
sideratlon of availability in the case at
issue. Unfortunately this one exemp-
ption thins the ranks sadly in Lewis.
ton as in other cities.
The worthless young man is only
less Il social menace than thu positively
vicious. There is too frequently a
combination of wOrthlessness and
wickedness in our masculine individ.
nallty. This composite character is a
social curse. This classification and
condemnation is an universal senti.
ment. The world being full of preju.
"ice and deception it is not always
easy to place every man in his class
The world, however, often knows
more than it tells. Social DEGREES G .
force unjust rules, but the pure.lninded
girl is not deceived easily in the appli'
cation of character tests. How man,
Lewiston girls today shudder over thu
prospect of an unhappy future like ;
ehild suspended over the fire?
Marriage is the inevitable destiny o
our sex. The thought OF happy wed
iock is as ennobl,ng as the hope o
Heaven. The doubt which fills tn,
mlnd OF the girl who takes the forecas
"i probabilities il. Lewiston, guided b,
Judgment, subdues all inspirations o
happiness. The boast of the maide,
mat she will remain single, and b
independent Is feeble and inconsider
