O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-t Q HIGH COST OF LOVING
lSeiectedl

The following exchange IS true to life. The girls set the price and there is nothing left for the boys except to pay it. If money be- comes scarce, look out for good crop of old maids.
 .The reason that girls have to flock so much by their twosomes nowadays and why there is such a decline and fall-off in marriage. as that old gink in Dickens story used to say, is not so much because of the high cost of living, as because of the high cost of loving" quoth a young man the other day.
 ''The girls have become profiteers in courtship, and they have made i so expensive that to visit a young woman has become a luxury of the rich. The ordinary chap can't af- ford to know girls, and if he does not know girls how can he fall in love and get married? I'll ask the world that.
 Take my case, for example. Not long ago l met very charming young person who certainly did

and with my five dollar bunch of violets pinned where they would do the most good. 1 was about to forgive her for her graft when she pipued up:
 'Is the taxi waiting?"
 Not on your life" l replied. '1 came up on the good old reliable street car
 There's a taxi stand just raound the corner The number is so-and- so. You can telephone for one while I am getting my scarf" she said as she drifted away, and gnashing my teeth bitterly I phoned for the taxi.
 After the play she artlessly in- quired, Where are we going for supper? let's go to the Robbers Roost. They have such wonderful food and the finest Jazz Band in town and the cabaret is simply won derful."
 "We went. I paid, and paid, and paid. But why prolong the agony of the recital By the time the young lady went home 1 was out about thirty dollars for a simple even ing's entertainment. As we part ed she shaid she had per fectly lovely time and that she hoped she would see me again soon.
 But never again.
 But never again for muh. If that dame ever beholds this cher ished form again it will be through a long distance telescope.
 Now, am not saying that l am any great catch for any girl, or that she misses much in not getting me, or being deprived of the moder- ate priced pleasures that could give her.
 But I do say that l am the type of the average young man who would like to know girls and go about with them, and show them attentions, but who is debarred from i, by the extravagant standards girls have set up, and the amount of money they force man to spend when he takes them out.
 "That's why girls have so few beaux They have made the price prohibitive. They've killed the pander that laid the golden egg.
 "Of course don't understand the feminine psychology, but will you tell me why 1t IS that girl who rides on the street car every dav of her life has to be conveyed ahout in a taxi cab by any young man who is rash enough to ask her to go anywhere with him? It isn't because of her evening dress, be- cause she puts cloak over that, and beats it to the subway when she has to pay her own way, as you can see any night of your life.
 And why is it that girl can't eat enough at home to sustain her until she gets back to her own ice box?

was the meeting place Tor more
people OF more largely dtVirgent
interests than any other institution
In the city. He spoke briefly OF
the athletic opportunities it pre-
tented to young and old alike, with
fa fine gymnasium, swimming pool

and Of the educational side OF the
work. The Y. M. C. A Is maintain

INDEPENDENCE DAY OBSERVANCE
 AT ST. PATRICK's CHURCH

INDEPENDENC CE DAY OBS ShF ANCE
 AT ST. PATRICK's CHURCH
 A new flag was flying from the staff in the grounds at St. Patrick's school Sunday, and at the early mass at 7.5o many hundreds of parishioners received holy communion from the rector, Rev. John H. Frederick, who was assisted by Rev Daniel r. Sullivan. Many of these communicants were persons who had had friends or relatives in the recent world war, others were former service men in the army or navy The communicants were preceded to the altar by the mem bers of the Young Ladies' and Imma cu- late Conception Sodalities.
 Father Frederick preached from the gospel for the Sunday the sixth after Pentecost-Mark viii. 1-9, which gospel, as does that of the fourth Sunday in Lent, John vi. L-15, narrates the mil racle of the multiplication of loaves and fishes. This passage of Holy Scripture, the preacher reminded his hearers. re- lates a miracle symbolical of that won derful spiritual food which Christ has left His followers in the multiplication of His own body in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. The compassion of the Saviour was not manifested alone during His labors among men while in Judea i; but by His own words He has left to men that food which refreshes and sat- isfes their souls; gives them strength against temptation, enables them to perservere in the ways of righteous ness. Every day on the altars of the Catholic church there continues this miraculous multiplication of the heaven ly loaves, as Christ Himself commanded His Apostles to break the bread of life in His memory. The preacher urged those who believe that Christ has full filled His promise to seek this heavenly food often-not alone every month, or every week, but daily if possible
