Boston Globe: 1f the large army of 'n who have been lured into hasty ringes and victimized could stand ad be counted, the world would mazed, If the victimizers could he moned to confront these women and n treated in their presence to such igation as the honest men of the com- munity might see fit to intlict, it would be insuflicient retribution In one recent issue of the daily paper there were reported four enses of bigamy, three cases of sad desertion after mal riage, one at the alter, and tour suicide of unhappy wives. his was news of thed the bulletin of shame and sorrow which appears constantly in print and tells only the half of the mis- ery behind it. In these matrimonial ven- tures the woman of keen intellect, of fortune and position is_quite often the he is as powetless to protec sometimes more so, her less fortunate sister. She know no evil and fears none. She may been shielded and sheltered, she may be trusting and sincere, if so her lotisa sad one. Some of the best men in the community ar athe to speak a word of evil against their fellow-men where mor- als are concerned. In financial matters, they never hesitate to give a man’'s “‘rating,’’ but in morality the wisest par- ent seldom gets more than *‘Oh, yes; he's a good fellow."” 1f men of clean lives would show as much earnestness as to moral worth as they do concerning financial standing, and would speak as frankly,much misery would be spared the world and _individu- als. The man who does not hesitate to say of another, ‘'His note is not worth the paper it is written on” merely shakes his head when an unprotected” woman ks if his friend 1s a suitable partner for her fatherless girl. Men's sins are hidden and woman's are on the surface. A man can learn all he desires of the woman he loves from her own lips or her friends. She must take him on trust. Before marriage he may show himself to her as entle and kind, but among his comrades he may be known as a bratish, seltish burlesque on manhood. In the good time coming when man will be as true and humble as they justly desire wonen to be, when religion is no longer a cloak, and prayers are no longer used to con- ceal rascality, a woman will not ask in vain for facts concerning the man who seeks her hand in marriage. She will not be victimized, for all the world will be her friend, and the enemy of the de- ceiver. Our present mode 18 worse than barbar- ous: the conventional methods of olden times are swept away, and we have drnifted too far in the opposite direction. Bold adventurers go to and fro upon the earth marrying when and where they will, getting money by fraud, and win- ning trusting hearts by base deception, until exposure comes, then they whim ver and whine about ‘‘turning over a new leaf.” Then the public disgust becomes intolerable, and they are punished, but quite inadequately, by law, Such men deserve neither pity nor pardon. Ifa wild beast were let loose upon our streets every man in the community would turn out to hunt it down and protect inno- cent women and children, ‘Thesharpers and bigamists do more harm than wild beasts.” Their victims are condemned to slow torture, and families are_created to perpetuate their crimes. H:m{ ma riages are seldom happy ones, but we must not condemn too severely the women who are beguiled into them by a tissue of falsehoods, and a glibness of tongue which might deceive the very elect. These women should have our tenderest sympathy, and our aid in ex- posing the criminal. 1€a Tndy has neither relatives or friends to institute inquiries concerning the manwho offers her his heart and ‘hand, let her make inquiries herself, and make them faithfully,” A woman's best pro- tection is her own trua heart. The sanc- tity and holiness of marriage is too great to be shadowed by one doubt. It is not a lottery, nslsome nssert; it is a contract, where botih parties bave eyes, ears and tongues, and are competent to choose, 1f old enough to murry. It sometimes hap- pens, that, despite all care, the choice is & mistaken one; If so, the remedy is at hand. Bind the matrimonial chain with duties well done, that it may not clang piteously in the ears of a censorious world, and say with Shakespeare— Love is not love Which alters, when _it alteration finds. What Marriage Does. The Epoch: Few men pass through the experience of marriage without some change for better or worse, in their out- ward condition at least. In many cases the change is an lmprovement, a source of enjoywent to the man himselt and » subjeot for llulorin& comment on part of his friends. This is especially so with regard to alovenly fellows who look, after they have come into the handsof a neat and enorgotic Wit if they had just gone through a Turkish bath, had their cravats tied andj been fitted out newly l?' a competent tailor. Itis with a shock of pleased surprise that one meets aman of this charscter soon sfter his. martiage, finding him riot merely clothed as of yore, but dressed. brushed and trimmed as to his hair, and well shaved. In fact he seems (o have acquired & now set of bones; his back 1s certainly straighter, the shape of his head s altered entirely, and a pair of well-defined shoulders have emerged from the mass of cloth under which they were formerly concealed. Nor is the'change physical : the man's morgle has improved, He looks out upon the world with a_face cleaner and brighter than it was in his bachelor days, and the consciousness of presenting a good :|]n|u-m-nnm- has raised him 50 per centin his own estimation, and therefore 25 per cent in the opinion of others.

The dress of the Albanian women, ys an exchange, ungallantly de- scribed by travelers as hideous. It is aid to be of thick material and shape- less; a leather band encireles the waist, and usually a little black cloak is thrown over the shoulders, But the wearers are the most beautiful women of Eastern Europe, and their manners always gra- cious.

One of this kind has gone before a mag- istrate in England and asked for a di- vorce on the ground that in forty years of her married life her husbund had bitten her every day and that she was ready to swear to nearly 15,000 of these love nips. A young woman of Detroit has refused thirty distinet offers and pre- fersas yet the cold companionship of her quarter of a million of dollars. In Maryland a bloowsng widow of thirty has “just buried her sixth husband and scores of eager suitors are yet willing to be immolated on the altar of her beauty, That while there is life there is hobe has been demonstrated by a Massachusetts maiden of seventy-two who got married last week, and by a Chicago husband,who got his seventh divorce, while in scarch of the model wife..
