MARRIAGE In FRANCE.
IN sinEIe Blesaedness TIL
Too Late.


NJ. lie ROux, who has been giving
q course of lectures at Columbia uni
versity on family life in France,
closed IL with a discourse on the cri-
els Of marriage, whereof a very in
complete report, printed in some Of
the newspapers, includes an inter
esting passage about French women
who do not marry, says Harper's
Weekly. He finds the cause of their
celibate disposition to be luxury, the
love of money and the French sys-
tenn Of marrying for money. He
said that through a Paris journal he
offered TO give advice to unmarried
women and received hundreds of
them, who told him their several
stories. He remembers il as a de-
pressing experience. The story in
every case was about the same. The
young women left school at 20, be-
gan to go to t~heaters, the opera and
balls, had a good time, and put off
getting married. Still unmarried at
rs, "they began to have a certain
pity for the innocent young girls
who married and assumed the cares
of their sex. The men they saw
pleased them less and less, then
were unable to awaken the senti-
ment of love for them, and at last
found themselves at the age of 30
still unmarried. Too late disillu-
stoned, they saw that marriage is
only a means, not an end"
NJ. lie Roux thinks that the soci-
ETY. where this story is common is
in a bad way, and that the French
system must be reformed by teach
ing the men to have courage enough
to take a wife without money. Per-
haps that is the remedy, but the ex-
perience he describes is not at all
uncommon in our day here, where
the French system of matrimonial
endowment does not obtain. Here
two girls are liable to drift along in
a state of single ~blessedness, which
becomes yearly less blessed and year
ly less easy to break out Of. Here,
too, between 20 and 25 girls living a
comparatively idle life devoted chief
ly to society readily acquire tastes
and develop expectations which no
available man can hope to satisfy.
Here, too, they pass the age of ex-
%pectation and drift imperceptibly
into that of critical disinclination.
Perhaps the majority of women who
marry T women who don't know
any better, but of these the major
ity seem to come out ahead in the
end, for what they lose in ease they
make up in gaining definite duties,
powers, interests and responsible
tiles and in working for their own
and getting the rewards of their la

STICK TO ONE THING.
A Man who Has DnbbIed I'm Many
Things Who Wishes He Had Fol-

"The only way for a man on a
salary to make a success of life,
financially and otherwise, is to stick
to one thing" said a department en-

er. Twenty years ago l had plenty
of energy, a little money and a huge
stock of ideas. / determined to be-
come a power in the money market,
and as a starter dabbled for six
months or more in stocks, at the
expiration of which time I came to
the conclusion that Jay Gould knew
more about such things than I did.
That experience cost me $4,000. I
soon became convinced that I was
cut out for a druggist, and straight
way invested $4,000 in a pharmacy.
Cut rates were unknown in those
days, and in a short time l was do
ing well, but one day / read of a
prominent lawyer receiving $4,000 as
a fee for some case, and instantly I
became imbued with the idea that
I would make a great lawyer. I meg
lected my drug business to such an
extent that in two years I was $500
to the bad. In the meantime | read
law diligently. After a time 1 grad
uated as a ~full-fedged disciple of
Blackstone and hung ont my single.
Business not coming my way as fast
as / thought it should, I opened a
small hotel. Result, S1,SOO in the
hole.
"Then I tried my hand at real es-
tate, my legal training helping me
greatly. But the same old story
will have to be recorded-failure. By
this time my money was nearly all
gone. What to do next was the all
absorbing question. One day a friend
convinced me that big money could
be made out of chickens. / invested
every cent I had left, 1920, in hens.
At the end of six months I sold out
my hennery for s3G0. Then / got a
government job, and here I've been
ever since. Shortly after my ar
rival in this town / purchased a
little land in the northwest section.
That investment has yielded me a
very handsome return, and I am now
thoroughly satisfied that the only
thing for a man On a salary to do
is to either put a little each month
in some good savings bank OF in
vest his surplus in land or bricks
and mortar. Remember one thing,
this is an age of specialists. Stick
