SnappY Comeback.

At a dinner a well-known comedian
had finished his speech and, as he sat
into his trousers pockets and inquired :
Doesn't it strike this company as a
little unusual that a professional
comedian should be funny?"
When the laughter had subsidized the
comedian drawled out: Doesn't it
strike this company as little unusual
that a lawyer should have his hands in
his own pOckets?'

To Speak

The most important public meeting
of the year for the Birmingham Theo-
sophical society and its many friends
will take place on Thursday evening,
when Mr. c. Jinarajadasa, international
vice-president of the society, will speak
at Cable hall at s 10 p. m, on the sub
ject of 'The Spiritual Aspect of Ma
tional Life" This is free lecture and
the general public is cordially invited.
Mr.. Jinarajadasa, who is a native OF
Ceylon, has spent many years In this
country and thus is thoroughly famil-
lar with the Occidental viewpoint on
world problems. He is an M. A. or
Kings college, Cambridge, and has de-
voted his life to the study of religions.
This is his first visit to Birmingham,
and the local Thcosophical society IL
much gratified that he should have
placed the Magic City on his itinerary,
which is necessarily very crowded, as
he is able to spend only a few weeks
in the United States.
The theme of his discourse on Thurs
day evening will deal with practical
methods of reconciling everyday life
with the sources of spiritual strength,
which must be drawn on if the world
is to progress according to- the great
plan of evolution. He will discuss
many of the vital problems in national
life
This afternoon, at 8 o'clock, in the
Tutwifer ballroom, Mr.. Jinarajadasa
will address the members of the Allied
Arts club and their friends on the sub
iect, cart and the Emotions"

Another reason men do not marry is
because we have all, men and women
alike, grown more selfish. We call it by
Understanding phrases-developing our
individuality-the right to live our own
lives untrammled-but what it really
means is that we love ourselves SO much
better than we are capable of loving
anybody else that we are not willing
to make the sacrifices demanded by
marriage.

Another reason why men do not
marry is because of the freedom of
social intercourses between the
sexes. Men who work side by side
with women every day, and who
play about with them outside of
working hours, get all of the
feminine company they need with
out the necessity of assuming a
wife's bills or having to stand for
her temper and temperament. The
boom days of matrimony were
those in which a man had to buy
woman's companionship with a
wedding ring. -

Only men who have inherited money,
or the poor man who is foolhardy, dare
risk marriage when they are young and
romantic, and by the time man gets
to making enough money to feel that
he can prudently undertake the great
adventure he has lost all heart for it.
His wells of sentiment have dried up.
His illusions have been torn to tatters.
He has learned to listen to the voice
of caution instead of that of impulse
and it whispers to him that it is bet
ter to endure the ills you have than to
fly to those you know not OF.
