Mind Gave Away After Losing Cash
Through Matrimonial Agencies.
From the Boston Trans1ip.
A Bay State citizen has Just gone into
retirement at the Worcester State Hos
pital under circumstances which must
command the sympathy Of the most un-
feeling reader. This man is q bachelor.
but he was anxious to rid himself of
that reproach, and as a means thereto
he consulted matrimonial agency" in
Chicago and obtained addresses, descrip-
tions, and photographs of young women
who were willing to marry. We assume
that the parties ''corresponded." and that
some of the candidates were tentatively
approved Apparently, however, the man
left the ultimate choice to the agency"
advising 1t merely that his wife must be
brunette. Thereupon the agency be.
gan to submit samples. Royalston paid
the freight. But the agency persisted in
sending blonds-there being. apparently,
an oversupply Of blonds in stock-and
when this bachelor had squandered most
Of his substance in carfares and won no
brunette in exchange his mind gave way
and he was taken to Worcester.
We do not criticise this bachelors
in demanding brunette, yet certain cur
rent phenomena tend to indicate that
his high ambition was. to say the least,
somewhat i'll advised. There drifted to
this office recently a Book of Wealth
and Beauty" containing the descriptions,
pictures and all, of $50 feminine clients
of a matrimonial agency at Tekonsha,
Mich. We have studied these pen-and-
pencil portraits with much delight-only
few at time. since the effect of a
large number would be distinctly over
powering-and We find that in the first
hundred young girls, antique spinsters,
and widows. sod and grass, there are
only fourteen brunettes. To be sure the
descriptions were written by the sub
jects themselves: 1t may be that some Of
the husband!seekers fancied that the
average man prefers blond, and gov
erned their compilations accordingly. The
only other differences fairly to be drawn
are that there are fewer brunettes than
blondes, or that brunettes are not so des-
perate for matrimony. In either event
the situation bears hard on the Bay
State bachelor and gentlemen who share
his preference. Brunettes are scarce.

Training Volunteer Lay Workers.
Catholic and Protestant men of New
York are, without concert between them,
making identical plans to meet the same
religious conditions among young men
OF the great city. Three years ago both
began the holding Of retreats in summer
and schools in winter. The retreats are
for the deepening Of the spiritual life,
on precisely the plan as retreats long
held for clergy. The schools are for the
training Of volunteer laymen in educa-
ton and missionary work This year
Catholics have added social service work.
Both have raised up corps Of public
speakers, so that to societies of laymen
in parishes experts are at hand to give
instruction and to spread information on
the work Of their churches. The COM
ing year, both Catholic and Protestant
men Of New York plan to extend their
schools along many lines. Now. for their
retreats, Catholic laymen. organized un-
der the name Of the Catholic Laymen's
League, have purchased q site for q
summer conference and retreat 1t con.
sists Of forty acres fronting the lower
bay, on the shore Of Staten Island. and
overlooking the NarrowsS and South
Brooklyn. A mansion upon the property
will be fitted up for the accommodation
of fifty men. Much will be made of
week-ends, and also of studies of social
conditions and work.
