According to the recently printed
census report there are thirteen million
bachelors in the United States. Uncle
Sam views this state of affairs with
alarm, and asks why so many men
should pass up thejoys of domesticity,
and evade their duty as good citizens
by establishing homes and families.
There are many reasons why men are
not 20 much given to matrimony as they
used to be. Doubtless the chief explana-
ton of the bumper crop of bachelors is
financial. Men don't marry because they
lack the price, for wedding rings have
gone up sky high in common with other
| luXuries.
In former times, not only were food,
and rent, and clothes, the actual necessi
ties of life, much cheaper than they
are now, but all life was lived on
simpler plane. People didn't dress so well
They didn't travel so much. They didn't
go to 80 many places of amusement.
They didn't have such good furniture.
Children didn't have 80 much done for
! them. There were no automobiles no
movies around the corner. No cabarets
in the next block. A young couple who
! got married expected to spend their
evenings sitting around the parlor lamp
instead of putting on their stepping-out
clothes, and going to dance, or a show.
| 1t is folly to say that we should go
back 10 the simple life of other days,s
and live as our parents and grandparent
did. 1t can't be done. Those who are
used to electric lights can't read by
candle light. Those who are accustomed
/ TO high powered automobiles, can't
! journey in an OK cart. The luxuries of
the past have become the necessities OF
the present.
Therefore, instead of saying to Juliet
that love is enough, and we'll HE away
to the parson, Romeo does a little
figuring on the back OF his pay check, and
reaches the inevitable conclusion that
what isn't enough for one, by no miracle
can be enough for two, or three, or more.
So he decides that single blessedness in
comfort is better than double wretched-
ness in poverty and rags.
Because it takes so much money to
support family nowadays makes man
put off marriage until he gets out of the
notion of doing it at all. The early twen-
ties, when one is full of enthusiasm and
optimism, is the time mans thoughts
turn to matrimony 1t is then that be
believes that he has found the one
Incompatible She, without whom life
will be cinders, ashes, and dust, and
ninety-nine out of hundred youths
who inherit money, take unto themselves
wives while they are at that romantic
age.
Let man defer marriage ten years,
and he looks upon it with 9. cold eye.
He has seen too many Only Women.
His heart has healed, without leaving a
scar, from too many of Cupid's wounds.
He can never re-capture the illusion OF
his youth, and he begins to balance the
advantages of baohelorhood against the
troubles of domesticity, and he is very
apt to decide to let well enough alone.
Another reason why men don't marry
is undoubtedly to be found in the decline
Of domesticity among women. Fal

more men marry for home than for any
other cause. Every mans secret dream
is of coming home at night TO a smiling
and cheerful wife, who has been happy
and oontented pottering about in her
kitchen, and who sits him down to Il
dinner of hot, home cooked viands, and
bread and cake like mother used to make.
But m6n have found out that marri-
age now doesn't often mean that kind
Of home, or that kind Of food. Girls
grow up with the idea of being good
stenographers, or good saleswomen, not
good cooks. Women are more interested
in clubs and causes than they are in
their homes, and when they have TO do
their own housework only too many of
than rush home at the last minute, and
heat up something out of a can that they
set before their hungry husbands, and
call it dinner There is nothing in liv-
ing out of paper bags that lures man to
putting his neck into the matrimonial
moose.
Still another reason why men don't
marry is because men and women see
too much of each other. Neither sex has
any illusions left regarding the other.
No man any longer iInagines woman to
be An angel. No woman worships man
as demi-god, and instead of each
praying to be worthy of the other, il
they should marry, they wonder how
they can stand each other.
In olden times, there WAS little or nc
social intercourse between the sexes and
man who was attracted to girl had to
marry her in order to enjoy the pleasure
of her company, but now, when mer
and women work side by side in business
and play together, he can get all he wants
of q woman's society free gratis fol
nothing, without assuming her bills
Perhaps after all, the chief reason
that men don't marry is because women
themselves are not 80 keen about marri-
age as they used to be, for as Mr.
Bernard Shaw has conclusively pointed
out, it is invariably the woman who
puts the idea Of marriage into & mans
head. Certainly il the days when every
woman vas obliged to have husband
very few nen escaped, and it is only
now, when women are coming to regard
marriage as superfuous luxury in
stead Of q necessity, that there is {
closed season, so TO speak, for bachelors,
and the species increase.
The whole public attitude toward tht
unmarried has changed, anyway. Form
erly old bachelors and old maids wer'
regarded with pity, as those who hac
been unfortunate, and passed over il
life. Now they are looked upon with
envy and eve as those who have beer
too foxy to be caught, and while we may
deprecate their selfishness, we alst

was 20 dress to be crowned Queen
The walls of the room were hung in
pale blue silk with gold and silver
flowers scattered over it. There was
beautiful carved ivory bed hung
with silk curtains at the side by little
gold cupids.
There were Jewels on table before
long mirror in an ivory frame, so
il was no wonder that Nlitzi started
when a servant with her robes stood
beside her.
The wedding took place first, and
then the King and Queen were crowned,
but Mitzi did not forget her mother
and sister in the cottage by the forest,
and as soon as the merry-making was
over she told the King she must go to
her home and do something for those she
had left there.
In coach Of black crith gold trim
ming. Queen Mitzi and the King drove
to the cottage where the widow and
Zella lived.
Her mother was so glad to see her
and know that no harm had come to
her that she quite forgot TO ask where
she had been or what had happened
that she came home in the royal coach
and at last Mitzi had to tell her that
she was a Queen and had come to take
her and Zella also TO the palace TO live.
Zella now felt very much ashamed
of herself for the way she had be-
haved, and she would not go with her
sister 10 enjoy all the wealth that she
had brought TO them, until she had
/ first been 10 the forest and scrubbed
the white berch tree which she promised
the fairy she would do in return for
/ the bag Of gold.
The King and Queen waited for her
TO return and then they all drove
20 the palace where they lived happily
the rest of their days.
Ii may be that the fairy had many
plans when she gave the gold TO Zella
for Zella and her mother each wore
one of the handsome gowns Zella had
bought with the gold and if they had
not had them they would have had
no suitableN clothes TO wear TO the
home Of King and Queen.
But fairies are such far-seeing anc
thoughtful little creatures that they
never leave anything undone.
