MIR. MARTIN's OBSTACLE.
Matrimony VIII Continue to Be Pop
ular in Spite of 1t.
Kansas CITY Journal.


Mr. E. S. Martin has written a paper for
the Cosmopolitan on THE New Obstacle in
Love Affairs" which would seem to be the
ringing of another change the theme of
lack of wealth as an obstacle to or prevent
i've of marriage.
Why this lack should be spoken of as
obstacle is not easy to understand.
Discrepancy of fortune between the hero
and the heroine must have figured in the
first novel ever written. The lack of money
er has been the novelist's theme always,
dividing the time with the trouble arising
from exalted birth on one side anu only
young man and the millonaires daughter
and the earl's son and the 1aillers or far
mer's daughter, have had their aIixieties
and vicissitudes ever since the first roman
cist took his pen and ink horn and wrote:
"Once upon a time.
And then, the new obstacle" beside not
being new at all, is not so very much of an
obstacle" If anybody took notice and kept
count it would appear that wealth or the
lack of it cuts no figure at all in the mat
ter of falling in love and staying there, and
not much in the matter of marriage. OF
course the talk to the contrary is as old as
the oldest hill in the business. Writers have
been insisting ever since anybody can re-
member and for a long time before. that
marriage was becoming mere and more ex-
pensive and that, consequently, natr1mony
going more and more out of fashion.
but there has never been sound sense in
that SORT of talk and there is not now.
The habit of blaming the age as the most
expensive and extravagant ever known is
