LONELY EASTERN GIRLS
A Far Cry From the East for Eligible
Bachelors


among the Weather classes know tAat
for several years past the supply of eli
gible marrying men seems to have been
getting smaller and smaller Season
after season, from all the fashionable
inland and seaside resorts comes the
cry, There are no young men," ana
correspondents tell how even a freshman
from reputable university is eagerly
sought after. Parents are now glad to
bestow their daughters on men who ten
years ago they would have considered
genteel paupers; and they are being
gradually forced toward the European
plan of giving dowries with their daugh
ters. This is certainly opposed to what
used to be regarded as the American
idea, viz, that parents should not be
called upon to impoversh themselves
during their lifetime and that children,
even of the wealtheist need expect little
at the time of their marriage.
Searchers after the cause of this state
of affairs will be met by two explana-
tons; one made by women-the selfish
ness of men; the other by the men--the
selfishness and extravaganza of the
modern young society woman. The
writer who aime at popularity would
certainly adopt the former; but the per-
son who, at hazard, seeks the truth, will
| ifallibly be driven toward the latter.
