WHY MEN DON'T MARRY

at night to a smiling and cheerful wife,
who has been happy and contented potter
ing about in her kitchen, and who sits MIN
down to a dinner Of hot, home-cooked
viands, and bread and cake like mother
used to make.
But men have found out that marriage
now doesn't often mean that kind of home,
of 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 homework only
too many Of them rush home at the last
minute, and heat up something out of
can that they set before their hungry hus-
bands, and call it a dinner. There is moth
ing in living out of paper bags that lures
a man to putting his neck into the matri-
monial moose.
Still another reason why men don't marry
is because men and women see to much Of
left regarding the other. No man any
longer imagines woman to be an angel.
No woman worships man as demf-god,
and instead of each praying to be worthy
of the other, if they should mary, they won
der how they can stand each other.
In olden times, there was little or no So
cial intercourse between the sexes and a
man who was attracted to a girl had to
marry her in order to enjoy the pleasure
of her company but now, when men and
women work side by side in business, and
play together, he can get all he wants Of
a woman's society free gratis form othing,
without assuming her bills.
Perhaps, after al, the chief reason that
men don't marry is because women them
selves are not so keen about marriage as
they used to be, for as Mr.. Bernard Shaw
has conclusively pointed out, it is invari-
ably the woman who puts the idea Of mar
riage into a mans head. Certainly in the
days when every woman was obliged to
have a husband, very few men escaped,
and it is only now, when women are COM
ing to regard marriage as a lsuperfluous
closed season, so to speak, for bachelors,
and the species increase
The whole public attitude toward the I'M
married has changed, anyway. Formerly
old bachelors and old maids were regarded
with pity, as those who had been unfor-
tunate, and passed over in life. Now they
are loked upon with envy and awe as those
who have been to foxy to be caught, and
while we may deprecate their selfishness,
we also reflect that they have escaped a
lot of trouble.
The truth is that both men and women
are afraid to marry, and that is why the
tribe Of old bachelors and old maids gets
bigger every year.

Never did popular fancy turn to diversion
more wholesome. Milton speaks of COM
mercing with the skies,' which is not an in

amusement and stimulus there, great social
good is being accomplished.
Wireless, moreover, is but one of the mil
lionfold aspects of science in which people
would grow in ensely interested if they
would but look.
