an absence of young men. In New York
city the other day the mother of a pair
of pretty daughters said TO a reporter:
Where have all the young men gone,
When l was girl and spent my sum
mers At Sharon. Richfeld Springs and
later IN Newport and West Point there
was no end OF beaus. We had men in
plenty to dance with and firt with, but
now there seems literally no one. Is +.
because there are fewer young men than
IN my day, or is IL because they no longer
frequent such Places"
Ana here is what the reporter says:
The answer TO this social conundrun is
very simple. The days when men In good
society frequented hotel verandas and ball
rooms are gone forever. To fiirt with a
pretty girl or dance with her summer
evenings no longer presents any attrac-
ton 10 the -of-the-century youth: The
carpet knight is happily obsolete, and TO
the credit OF the young women themselves
such an existence appears 10 more desir-
able To them than il does 10 the opposite
sex. The conditions OF American society
have materially altered We no longer
congregate at hotels Cottage life has
completely replaced the less civilized tx
istence. and sport has taken the place Ct
fir:ing-a desirable change. none viii
deny. except. perhaps. the anxious NAM
mas who deplore the lost opportunities
of their day and wno declare they 90
not see how their daughters viii marry
under the present conditions. This Is a
well-founded fear for certainly the num-
Der of women Bachelors tho one dreams
Of calling them old maids nowadays. is
