FROM CATALOGUES

According to testimony attributed
to r. w. Stanley, a social investiga-
tor of Chicago, the practice is becom-
ing common of picking wives from
"mail-order catalogues"
1t seems that love brokers'" fat
and sleek, are reaping rich harvest
by bringing lonesome folks together
through matrimonial agencies in Chi
cago.
The custom is for persons desiring
a mate. yet who do not wish to go
through the preliminaries of court
ship. to simply refer their cases to a
love broker" in a cold, businesslike
manner, and their wants are quick
ly supplied.
When a broker receives an order
for a bride or bridegroom, he sets
about finding the person wanted. He
has extensive and he sell
dom fails to deliver the goods" In
inc AohO ONCht Va AoiiuiC, uOWCNCI Nc
receives no commission, so II is his
duty to bestir himself.
Love brokers" charge a double
fee; that is, they receive pay going
and coming" The minimum remun-
Grafton is $25 from each person,
which gives him a total of $50 for
each couple he successfully brings to
the altar.
Now. it is we'll known of all young
men that a modern-day courtship of
the ordinary kind cannot be conduct
ed for any such pifHing sum as $50.
What with the high cost of ice cream
and trolley transportation, the in
eas in admission to dancing floors
and a thousand and one different
items that enter into an approved
style wooing, he finds that $50 will
not even give a beginning. In view
of these things, 1t is not strange that
the love broker" has come into the
commercial field in response to an
economic call.

districts must gotten or fifteen miles
to find a preacher or civil officer au-
thorized to perform a marriage cere-
mony.
This seems to be a matter of con-

masters, and rural mail carriers to
take it to the peoples Doors"
Representative Joyce of Jackson

declaring that only ministers should
be permitted to perform marriage
ceremonies.
