The vast majority of them were married. OF
these hhe greater part married young. Their
wives, instead of Transforming themselves into
shapey but heavy mstones and dangling about
the CALLED necks of their liege lords, have, in
nine cases out of ten, done more than all other
influences combined to their husbands
lives with success. Nearly all great men who
have been married would confess they owed much
of their, fame wealth to their wives. =
There are, of course, obstacles to happiness in
married life So also are there reefs and shoals
In the Atlantic. But the sailor does not for that
reason become landsman. He studies the shoals
and learns to avoid them The pitfalls in matri-
mony can far more easily be studied and avoided
by any couple possessed Of moderate degree
of sense. '
My belief, from observation, is that rs out of
100 marriages are happy, and that not more than
five out of that number are unhappy.

maintain most strongly that there is a remedy
for vice. And that remedy consists in making
marriage possible among the poor and in provid.
ing for such people a home.
In this country, it is true, there is a brighter
side to the question than in Europe, as may be
proved from statistics
In London out of every 1000 marriageable per-
sons 729 are unmarried. More generally speaking,
less than third of the marriageable population
of London (the largest city of the worldl enter
the state of matrimony. More than two-thirds are
single. The conditions for marriage there are all
against the poor and woman. They may fall
in love as utterly as could any millionaire, but
the gates of the Eden of matrmony are closed
against them and guarded by the flaming sword
of poverty. They may sigh for marriage but
they realize that such luxury is far and away
above their means. ,+.: ..- ..
~ In. thisfcountry the marriage statistics are al.
most exactly the opposite of Londons. Here about
two-thirds Of the marriageable population are
married, leaving barely third unwed.

Marriage conditions among the poor have
formed the theme Of much of my personal
search and of many of the reports made to me.
1t is one of the great-one of the very great and
very grave--questions of the day.
Marriage among the rich may mean any
or many things. 1t may social or inan-
cal advancement; it may be mere matter of
convenience it may be the outcome of ideness
and propinQuity.
But marriage among the poor is the most
cogent means of reform. BY making marriage
universally possible among those who are not
blessed with an abundance of this worlds goods
the most deadly blow imaginable would be dealt
: to vice. The greatest step would by such means
be taken toward vices utter elimination.

poor man and his wife hold the. marriage relation
more sacred than do those of greater worldly
wealth. -,
1t is therefore doubly unfortunate that a class
SO worthy of the blessings of matrimony should
be so frequently debarred from those blessings
