Why Don't They Marry?

the chief reasons why 81 many Catho-
lie young men of between % and 30
are unmarried:
Because they believe that they do
not earn enough money to support Il
family.
Because they are frightened at the
extravaganza Of fashion and the craze
of the girls for dress.
Because they are saving up tn estab-
fish themselves in business.
Because SO few social entertain
nents are given by Catholics for Cath
olics at which they could enlarge the
circle of their acquaintance.
Because of the decay of the virtue OF
hospitality. on account of which
Catholic parents do not invite eligible
young men to their homes to NEE,
| their daughters.
Because the girls prefer nom Catho-
lie beaux. on the ground that ou1
young men are "slow."
Because our young women. as I:
| crowd. are better educated than oul
young men, as a crowd. and natural,
attract and are attracted to non-Cath
Ollie men similarly educated.
! Because parents often advise thei
sons not to get married. either so a.
to have the benefit of their contribu
tions to the household expenses or be
cause they imagine that no girls ar
good enough for them.
Because the devil is still active an,
continues to tempt folks to do VIVA
they should not do and to avoid doin,
what they should do.
