To the Editor of The Evening World: The historians tell us that {n the past ages marriage was usually arranged by the parents, and love seldom entered into the contract at all. The man usu- ally had to have a certain amount of worldly foods before he was considered as an acceptable suitor; but in these latter days of civilization and progress this has been done away with to a great extent, while the majority of women of a certain class of society are usually on the lookout for a husband Two IN A BED. WO tn a bet Is the usual custom of sleeping, in the United States at least, and also in Canads and Eng- land. But in Germany and France sin- gle beds are the rule. The latter plan, says Good Housekeeping, 1% more healthful and comfortable. It ts grad- ually coming into use in this country. Bingle beds involve more Hnen, more work in making beds and more washing, but I never knew a family to return to the old plan after once giving single beds a falr trial. Especiaily In summer is the single bed to be preferred, or even sleeping on the floor, to two In a bed. Many families declare they never knew what comfort was, during the hot summer nights, until they adopted the single beds. I might add a word of protest against allowing babies or young children to sleep with old peo- pie.
