CHANCES GROW LESS.
There Are Too Many spinsters In tho
United Kingdom Rs In This
Country.

1t must be disquieting to those who
consider marriage to be every wom-
ans birthright to see how stealthily
but surely her chances of realizing
her destiny are diminishing.
The census of 1871 disclosed the fact
that the women in the United King
dom outnumbered the males by no
fewer than S03,I05. In 1881 this de-
plorable disparity in numbers had
grown TO 9js.63s; and at the last cen
sus, in 1891, the surplus females mot
that under any conditions woman
could be considered redundanO num-
bered 1,1l2,512.
Think Of this vast army of females,
who for matrimonial purposes must
be deemed too many, Arranged two
abreast, at intervals of yard, this
fair column would carry the tale of its
grievances from London right across
the border beyond Carlisle, and even
there they would find no redress.
The census figures prove that in Ire
land woman's chances of finding her
mate are better than in any other part
of the United Kingdom. For every
1000 males, Ireland is blessed. with l.
029 females, disparity which need
not make any Irish girl despair. Eng
land ranks ucNt as matrimonial
market; as for every 1000 men there
are only Ga females to spare. Scotland
has 1,O72 females for every 1000 males,
and must be content to be stunned OF
marrying girls.
The islands adjacent to our shores
are the least promising as matrimonial
hunting grounds; for no fewer than
l,l26 females have TO be apportioned
among 1000 males. Throughout the
United Kingdom there are approXi-
mately / logo females to attract every
! 900 males.
The problem of the sexes assumes
startling proportions when we consid-
erthat the females in the United King
dom alone, If placed in single file ar
intervals of little over six feet, could
whisper secret entirely round the
earth at the equator.
The females in England would form
a column 20 abreast, at intervals of a
yard, long enough TO reach from
Lizard Point to Berwick-on-Tweed.
Similarly arranged, at intervals of n
few inches more or less than a yard,
the fair army of Scotland, five abreast,
could link the Grampians with John
o'Groat's. Ireland's equally fair
army, four abreast, would stretch
across the extreme length of their
country, and the insular fair ones
would form a column, two abreast, eX-
tending in straight line from Char
ing Cross to Wokihg, 80 London Tit
