GERMAN MARRIAGE MARKET

The men in Germany do not marry
they are married: they are more or
less passive articles OF sale, which
stand in rows in the matrimonial
shop-window with their price Labelled
in large letters in their buttonhoie,
awaiting patiently for a purchases.
They are perfectly willing, even eager,
victims, they want TO be bought, but
their position does not allow them u
grasp the initiative, and they are
thankful when at last some one
comes along and declares herself
capable and willing to pay the price
The girl and her mother. with their
purse in hand, pass the articles In re-
view. and choose out the one which
best suits their means and fancy.

men who swore TO each other that
they would only marry geniuses, and
here also they had their will. One
married a great painter. one poet
and another famous diplomatist.
That they we're all three peculiarly
unhappy is not a witness against the
system, but proof that geniuses may
-occasionally--be very uncomfort-
able partners. In this case the pur-
chasers were rich, and popular-and
