That's an odd question to ask, even for a news- paper man.”” The speaker was what might be termed anjexcelient type of a elubman. Just past thirty, possessed of means which made him what the world termed well oft, be- sides a fine physique and bright intelleet, the more noticeable from tha only gained by s of fami socicty. Such, in short, was the’ fri whom the stroller had chanced to meet in alocal hotel n certmn rainy after- noon. A good cigar and bright fire inside with stormy weather outside often brings one into a confidential mood who at other times on_certain subjects might be unapproachable. “So you are in earnest. truth, I'don’t know one who smted my ideas are too visionary ever be met with, perhaps not.

A good cigar and plenty of companion aiting him, “This is not an ove wn picture, my friend. ‘These are p cts. The club combines all that can make hometo a man except, some will think that is one reason to ‘be ad for this alleged prevalence of single blessedness. Then it seems to me there is another reason. You know and I kuow that girls change at different pe- riods from what they once did. The child of a fashionable mother is usually fully acquainted with the usages of so- ciety by the time she 1s fifteen, 1f not sooner, She knows as much about the 1 talk and the w of the \wing-room us e sister of twenty-one, t in her conversation manner. Of course there are some enses delightful as they are novel when you meet a girl of nincteen or twen- ty who at least in a few respects retains the free, unafleeted childish manner, as I'might call it, which was a part ot her nature when she wore short dresses and romped with the boys. But the argument will be brought up that nowadays a girl must have a mask to conceal her true feelings. She can appear in any form but her actual likeness. That's true in part us the world goes “But T am getting away from the point To come right to it, fear of what others v, 1 helieve, is a veuson which has prevented many from marrying. To sup- pose a case, A youog man is introduced to a young lady and asks permission to 1 ichis grauted. After a short time nvites her to go to some entertain- ment and she acecpts, He finds her very pleasantand ag » and innocently immagines how enjoyable it will be when they are more intimate, Perhaps dim visions of a cosy little home pass through his mind, but they are very dim. It is not ]|lu-l¥ that he has fallen in love yet. He calls again and finds her very polite, but apparently less cordial, He extends another invitation, but is puined to have it declined. ‘It will be imuposssible for her to go that night.' The young man goes away puzzled and a little down-hearted—perhaps lays it all tothe girl. Now the fact is some one, Jossibly a girl friend, possibly a woman riend, has seen her at the entertainment ond immediately runs around to find aut who it 1s if she does not know him. The other girl is usked a dozen questions about him and, as she answers, knows that probably every time she is seen with him some other ~acquaintance or ac- qaintances will notice friend, that in these ys 1f one is seen half & dozen times A5 many wee wich & young lady she is generally coun- hor; the fact is, my sidered as good or as bad as engaged and becomes a target for the eyes and lips of every one who knows either party, She is noticed mug if she had ‘engnged’ stamped in vlack letters all over her. ery action and every look is marked.

Well, it may be that marriages are plentiful in'society as they usea to be concluded the club man as he relit his cigar, “but I know a strect in a fashion able quarter where thirteen old maids live within a distance of three blocks, and 1 know a church which some one has 1 to call the Chureh of the Spinsters.

Marriage and Divorce, The question of marriage and divorce is again occupying the attention of muny of the protestant denominations. Of these denominations the Episco appear to have the strietest m: g law, but they are not satisfied with it, and in their recent general convention an_ effort was made to pass a more stringent canon”on the snbjeet, but the effort failed for want of time, It is said, however, by many Episcopalians that some of their clergy ignore the provisions of the present g and while this state of all is allowed to exist they tuink it would be uscless to enact any 1 laws. The Congregational are nlso anxious to do something in r rd to this matter, but they don’t appear to know just what to do. The same 18 true of the Preshyter- ans and other sects which have passed resolutions emphasizing the necd of domg something. On the one hand, it is not deemed proper, even if it were' pos- sible, to take the Roman Catholic ground in regard to marriage and divoree, al- though it is admitted by many protest ants that this would be the strongest rround to take. it is not de that marri ns And on the other hand, med safe to take the ground ot ge 18 purely a eivil cont 1 outeome of such a view v evil which 1t is desired to J hese two views being exeluded protestantism is compelled by the | of its position totake a middle course The chureh, 1t is held, should throw the feguards of religion around marringe, but the state ma e permitted to regulate it. It is a holy rite, but it 1s also o civil contract. It should indeed be selemnized by the church, but it may be dissolved by the state. This view of marriage, how , does not seem to have worked as well asis ori ators hoped, and now the tendency is to make the state laws in regard to marriage as stringent as the laws of the church ought to be. A national divorce law is talked of in sowme quarters, and the clergy are asked to use their influence to have the question brought up in vari ous state legislatures.
