AN ANSWER TO Lillian.

state for the same reason that a colt shys al al
electric propelled car. What DO you thlnk
anyway Of married life Lillian
Before answering Lilian'- inquiry we
should say the lady desires the suppress
sion of her surnAme. "A request we grant.
She. too, places rs in the position Of
writing from an unprecedented viewpoint,
because we are unacquainted with her.
To the last part Of her letter onr obser-
vations are purely amateurish
We entirely agree with Lillian that ma
ture IN its wise and benefcient order
has so constructed men and women that
marriage nationally conforms 10 its re-
quirmcnts. Men should not remain
single and vica versa women should
marry But in recent years bachelors
have multiplied because the tendency in
social life has been toward glitter, de
handing often times the expenditure
of money beyond the legitimate earning
capacity Of those who mingle in it. In
all communities spread over this broad
land, the boys and girls Of rich and poor
parentage grow mp together The non
possession Of wealth not being a barrier
10 social intercourse, ii becomes easy for
ANYBODY of good character TO share in
the revelry incident to this phase Of our
communal existence. There IS dash Of
democracy about the unrestrained free
dom of social life. But let us not for
get the imperfect rules and even in
u democracy danger may Turk. We
nave said the tendency in society is
toward ~plendor and those who demand
It must pay the piper.
We take as examples two young men,
one the scion Of house Of opulenCe. the
other the son Of respectable parentage
but of moderate competency. The two
nix in the same crowd enjoy the
tme pleasures and appease their desires
for social delights ut the same fountain,
mt the results are dra-tically opposed
Necessarily the Young man Of greater
wealth sets the pace. but he Will only
pay his pro rata share of the nights
festivities. The other chap OF smaller
means must keep NJ and 10 do this he
taxes his limited resources 10 such an
,xtcnt that he cripples his present oppor-
tunitic- and future prospects 50 badly
that it is with difficulty he ever catches

bah room with it, glare fragrance lacos
