It's Better in Europe.
1t is said that In European coun.

matter of loneliness among strangers
Is not the problem that it is in the
east and the south. In Germany,
Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Eng.
land and Scotland 1t appears to be
easier for the stranger to seek and find
congenial companionship than 1t is
over the eastern half of the American
continent, North and South. In Russia
it is said that every business and class
has its own club, where the people
meet every evening. The head of ev-
cry family is the member of the club.

There are said to be more lonely
States than in any other country. This

What are these strangers to do? Their

men seek respite from loneliness in
the saloons while lonely young women
are found in the dance halls. In clubs

St. Louis Woman Sees Her
'Anti=Lonely" Plan Working Out

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 21.-A move
ment originating with Mrs. Ambie H.
Mustain of st. Louis several years ago,
having for its object the amelioration
OF the oppressive loneliness of strang-
ers in great city. has been revised
south. 1t now looks as If the ambition
OF Its founders to see the movement
develop into a national organization is
about to be realized. - =.
In many cities of the south and east
organizations have been founded for
the purpose of. affording an opportun-
ity for strangers of both sexes to meet
for social intercourse. 1t has been sug-
gested-and work to that end Is now
In progress-that these several organ
izations in various localities be united
under one general head, the purpose
being to extend the links in the chain
until the whole nation is included.
These organizations, known vari-
ously as the Lonely Social Circles"
which is the name applied bysMrs.
Mustain to the original organization,
and Less Lonely Leagues" or Anti
Lonely Leagues" are becoming vastly
popular among the thousands Of men
and women who find themselves with
In the gates Of strange cities. Some
of them now have hundreds of men,
bers upon their rolls. Old people are
even more eager to join than the
young ones.
Not Matrimonial Bureau.
The purpose Of these clubs is pure
ly social They should not be consid-
cred as in any sense tending toward
matrimonial bureaus. While 1t is
true that marriages and happy fam
lilies have resulted from meetings
which took place within these circles,
the percentage of such is no larger
than might reasonably be supposed to
result from introductions between the
sexes at churches and other similar
organizations. The whole object Of
the organization is to afford lonely
people an opportunity to enjoy the
pleasures of the society of their kind
In the beginning the newspapers
made much fun of the organization.
They could not resist the temptation
of cartooning Miss Lonely in full
pursuit of a very scared man. 1t has
long since been demonstrated, how
ever, that organizations Of this char
Even the churches do not cater to the
social instincts of the stranger. There
is no one in the world more lonely
than a man or woman in a strange
city.
Usually some philanthropic woman
is at the head of the organization. She
advertises the fact that strangers are
invited to meet at her house or at a
certain hall at certain time, where
music and other entertainment will
be provided and an opportunity given
them to meet other men and women
socially. A committee Is always on
hand to welcome the newcomer ana
