New York, May 14.--At this time of year,
no matter how much you may have said
or to how much you may have listened In
regard to getting married, you cannot
avoid the conviction that the average New
York bride is apt to be neither young nor
beautiful. There is no doubt in your
mind that she is perfectly capable Of look
ing after the gentleman who stands so
meekly by her side and who is counted Of
so little worth that he isn't even spoken OF
as best man at his own wedding. In the
days gone by we used to connect white
satin and orange blossoms with bride,
but an air of being Tin the push so call
ed and wearing a rather blase air are
counted very smart.
The New York girl Is not very anxious
to get married. She has too good a time
while she is single and she does not pro-
pose to attach herself to one man too ear
~ in life or even to be counted among the
young matrons before her years number
q This is pure absolute, feminine sell
hshness. There is no desire in her heart
70 marry for love. She longs for position
and the big income necessary to support
H. Consequently the man with refined
tastes whose income Is small finds 1t diff
cult to get a bride from che proper set, no
matter how innocent she may seem.

friends were keeping it up as usual.
The clock licked on in it's silver-gilt

was very tired, for she counted by
