John" said my especial friend, Mrs.
Edith Allison, II am very sorry to SEQ
you neglecting the most important
matter In a mans or woman's life.

fired Of the social life. fired OF your
club. forced In the evening to 60 ont

whom Won care little about. and many
Of whom care less for Won. whom Won

"Wbat n borrible nicturer'
"The picture N NOT half as horrible
"a the reality"
Marriage IL an awful risk"
"a risk. yes; the other Is Ger.
tainty."
But l can't compel myself to love
any woman nor any woman to love
me-"
'"That IL where we I'm America err ON
the side of romance. Abroad tho prin.
cipal feature I'm wedlock Is the dowry.
here It Is what we call love. A dowry
Is tangible; love Is Intangible. Far be
It from me to decry a pure affection,
but that emotional condition, which in
men and women is one minute ecstatIc
and the next may turn to hate, or later
to Indifference, Is no basis on which
to make a life contract binding two
persons together"
"Would YOU have me 70 into n room
blindfolded where there are a number
of unmarried women, take one of them
by the hand md lead her to tho ALTAR"
"You might ma well do that ma take
