HELP FOR THE sOUTH.

A young southern woman, recently

A WIFE WHILE YOU WATT.

Acil Alexander the phrenOlogical
wife hunter. possesses an advantage
over most young men who set out 10
find a soul mate. He has the meas
ure OF the girl who will fit the mortice
in his heart.
He knows how tall and broad she
should be. what kind Of eyes and dis
position she should have and how old
she should be. His theory taught
him all these things and fully equipped
him for the mission on which he has
set out.
other young men go about seeking
wives in an entirely different way.
They have neither theories. codes nor
standards. They are ready 10 marry
any young woman they can love. AL
exander's theory is that he can love
anyone who comes up TO the standards
he has fixed. His affections follow
the line of mathematical precision
not the line Of hit and miss impulse.
We rather like young Mr.. Alex
ander's plan so far as 1t can be applied
10 practical conditions. How far that
is possible has not been demonstrated.
Mr.. Alexander has not progressed be-
yond the initiative stage.
So far ne has almost but not quite
found his ideal. In every instance
there has been either a large or small
failure. In one particular or another
all the aspirants for his hand have
been defective. Should this continue
Mr.. Alexander, to be honest with him
self and fair TO the fair, must inquire
whether the defects lie in the aspirants
or IN his system.
With the course OF reasoning or line
Of philosophy from which this seeker
for his lady fair has evolved his stand
ards we are not familiar, but Mr.. AL
exander apparently believes they are
scientific and infallible. He is con-
fident they will bring him the woman
ne wants Then he will love her and
she will love him and they Will live
happily ever after.
It is a beautiful and rather roman
tic theory. IL might be put into prac-
tice as a time and labor saving device
and legitimatize the field OF activity in
which matrimonial agents are en-
gagged. All necessary for the wife
seeker TO do would be 10 leave his
plans and specifications with the mat
rimoniaI agency. The agency would
do the rest.
Perhaps Mr.. Alexander has. almost
unconsciously, solved very perplex-
ing social problem.

through; and she was giving, by re-
quest. a recital of her daily routine
when she mentioned the words aft

What do you mean by resting?"

quantity for cash; but through the
kindness of a friend I lay in my

THE MELTING POT
ONE! ThKE POTLUCK WITH Is.

WILLIAM FAVERSHAM has af-
forded US another example in support
OF the theory that in modern times al
least Shakesperean actors are made,
not born. We have only to go back
through the list OF Sothern, Mans

Expressions Of regret that interpre-
tiers of high comedy and the society
drama aspire TO Shakesperean roles
and of doubt that they can succeed
may well be restrained.
In no walk Of life can mans or
or a woman's limitations be judged by
what he or she has done. and after
all the step between comedy and
