when 1 feel very lonely" said a brilliant
anu much-sOught-after man Of the world,
rather wistfully. Lately, especially, I
have felt that if I had married years ago
! would have been happier AS one grows
older, an existence that is bound up in
self. as a single mans life much neces-
sarily be, grows very monotonous and
Wearisome; and the feeling that after all,
however much you may be invited to their
houses by your friends you have no act
ual abiding place except in your solitary
bachelor lodgings, is not a pleasant one.
To realize that this loneliness must nec-
essarly increase as the years 80 on,
and that an old age without affectionate
companionship awaits you, is worse stin,
why do you not marry? my friends con-
tnually ask me; but I have waited too
loug-my habits are too fixed. I should
bee too eXacting, I could not adapt myself.
Ii would be an exp eriment, and the results
might be anything but happy. No, my
chance is gone, but made a mistake. If
! had my life to live over again 1 would
marry early and have my share of the
joys and sorrows of life."
To which would you say that matri-
mony was most essential to happiness,
man or a woman" was asked at a dinner
party lately. "a man." said lady who
was present without hesitation. "A wo-
man" exclaimed simultaneously her
masculine neighbor. your reasons" de-
manded the first speaker; "give your rea-
sons
"A man." answered the lady, taking the
lead by virtue of her sex, has really by
far the more dependent as well as the
more selfish nature of the two. 1t says in
holy Writ that IL is not good for man to
De alone, but it never says that Of wO-
man. Matrimony is not absolutely neces-
sary to her happiness but to man 1t IS
an essential. An unmarried woman. finds
her niche almost invariably, and creates
home interests for herself in other house,
holds, where by her unselfsh love and
hepfulness she becomes a necessity;
whereas a man is utterly incapable OF
such adaptation or of feeling a VicariOus
interest in another family, and unless he
has a household Of his own he IS a wan
derer on the face of the earth"
ALL" said her neighbor. "A wonan's life
is in her children, which are more neces-
sary to her happiness even than IS her
husband, and therefore to her a family
life is even more important than to
man. Who knows how many heartaches
those brave, unselhsh saints known to
the world as maiden aunts suffer in Sc
cret? A man has dual life, that of his
home and that of his clubs, business, etc.
and it is possible for him to be absorbed
in either; whereas a woman has only the
one, and If that is wanting she loses every
thing worth living for"
4 consider it is an argument without
a conclusion" said their hostess, who had
asked the question, and ] suppose, after
all, it resolves itself into a matter of
temperament with both sexes. Some peo-
pie are best married and some are best
single, both Tor themselves and others"
An interesting question, says an Eng
Ilsn paper. Is shortly to he decided at
Bristol, the legality of the enforced sepa-
ration Of the sexes In church. This prac-
ice prevails at St. SimOn's, Bristol
where, however, it is opposed by certain
OF the parishiOners some of whom insist
on sitting with their families. The oppo-
stuon reached a eliminating point at one
OF the services Sunday or two ago.
Wnen an attempt was made by the church
Wardens to eject from the Womens side
OF the church a man who insisted on sit
ting there with his wife and daughter.
The Struggle in the church resulted in
the appearance of the parties, the church
Wardens and the DarishiOner at the local
police court, but no decision was arrived
az by the magistrates, VINO regarded the
legal points involved so important that
they committed the case to the quarter
sessions in order to obtain the opinion
OF the recorder, Mr.. A. r. Poole, Q. c.
1t is not necessary in this column to ex-
press any opinion whatever as to the
propriety or wisdom of the practice of
separating men and women at divine SER
Vice, but every one will be anxious to
near the opinion of the recorder as to its
legality.
1t would be a most difficult matter to
tell for what object women choose their
dresses. Some Wiseacres say women dress
10 excite the envy of the less fortunate;
others say to attract the attention of
men. Harriet Prescott SpoffOrd says:
Women are actuated only by their per-
eeptons of the beautiful" and this gen
erous sentiment fills the case of the large
majority of women. There are a few
whose minds are SO warped they can en-
JOY nothing which does not excite teal-

But taken as a whole, it is undoubtedly
rue that women dress themselves for
1le mere love of the beautiful, and be-
cause they have keen sense of the fit
ness of things.
