Dear Miss Grey: In answer to “Miss Eighteen,” who writes very sensibly when she says, “The reason a man doesn’t get married when he is young is because he spends all he makes entertaining the girl he goes with, so he can’t save anything for his future home.” I was very much pleased that at last one of the opposite sex should have the thoughtfulness and courage to suggest that the expense entailed in taking a girl out should be removed To think that any girl should be worrying over the fact that the | boys have to pay for her whenever they entertain her is almost too good to be true. The poor boys have been worrying over | that fact for centuries and will probably have to do so for a long time. t Many young women earn more money than men and ¢ well afford to pay for their pleasures; but do they ever suggest it? Whenever did you hear a girl say that a 75-cent seat in the theatre would do just as well as a $2 one? How often does a girl bring the chocolates, which are an absolute essential to every little “time”? Whenever did your girl insist on your cut- ting out some of the expensive canoe pleasures, and suggest a walk instead ? ‘ 2 am not advocating that the girls should always “pay their way.” What I do complain about is the fact that girls will allow a fellow to lavish money upon them without pro test. It is not the spending to which I object; it is that this love of extravagance on the part of the girl reveals a deplorable state of character utterly inimical to the highest welfare of the community It has been proven beyond dispute that the age at which| men marry becomes older every year. This is largely due to the fact that to get anything like a good time when single, a poor man has to spend so much that he can save little to pro jvide a home. I would like to see this subject discussed in the} 1 hope of bringing the very necessary reform about. S. A. G.
