VIM Women Do Not Marry

~ TARTING out with the promise that every normal woman desires mar
thousand years go, the Rev. George L. Perrin discusses reasons for the
postponement of marriage in thisc country. How is il, he asks. that the woman
is likely tt be 80 and the a 40 before they ven think OF marrying, m why
is it that even then they ire ready to postpone the whole question indefinitely?
OF course, there is the economic Independence Of women, but Mr. Perrin
does not think this covers the situation Woman hs been touched by the
modern spnt Of democracy, and she is unwilling ito sacrifice her W ini-
vidualty on the n side, or to become the economic slave of any nan o. the
other" -
But this, the author thmks. is only part Of the case. The growing luxury
and completely of life. the new ant ver charging standard o living, the
envyngs, not the needs. of people in moderate circumstances and the desire
the preceding generation left on-these are some OF the other motives at work
which make for tn indefinite postponenent Of marriage
I'VE seem to have reached the point IA Mr. Perrin. where a
large number Of young men n women are ready to sacrifice the thing they
really do need, namely a pure and healthy domestic life, in the mad nj
vain endeavor to maintain a artificial standard of living, which a n "a
tonal justification in their physical or mental natures, and which is new
justified by a realized happiness of which they have dreamed and Tor which
they have vainly longed.
"What is the remedy? Common sense; better education. He is essentially
IN ignorant nan who is willing 10 sa crihce a home and children and love
for more things More things never in this world made a happy home n
Iesst they were real things. A few things are convenien in n stage Of
civilization, but he is a fool who or the sake of more stuff to eat n drink
and wear misuse is willing indefinitely to postpone a pure domestic life
On. the other hand, he Ia wen-nigh mastered the secret of a happy life who
time las he genius to live up to the high resolve to spend each year a few
dollars less than his income. Furthermore, whoever thus early trusts his
fortunes o his instincts will lot only find it the way of happiness, but also
the way IF economy, for the average woman mas ever been the better econom-

that none was quite powerless to
tempt them. Using the Russian as in
terpreter, he coaxed and wheedled, in
creasing his offer out Of all proportion
to the exigencies of the occasion, and
still finding them obdurate, in despair
he piled every coin he owned upon the
counter, but the men only shook their
heads and ~palavered among themselves.

But Petellin's arguments were as in

The fisherman h~esitated. Two of

son resumed the subject with the In
dams, but now their answer was short
and decisive. Not one of them would
venture forth unless accompanied by
one of his own kind, in whose endur-
ance and skill with a paddle he had
confidence. It seemed as if fate had
laid one final insurmountable obstacle
in the path Of the two white men. when

Bait was like a big boy in distress.

At this suggestion, Bait rose ponder

vengeance slip from his grasp enraged
him. He cursed shockngly, clinching
his great fists above his head, and
grinding forth imprecations which
