BY Nixola Greeley-Smith, A two YOUNG woman hat written mé typewritten feelings she enter- tains for a young man who has asked her to marry him, concluding thus: “My feelings for him are composed chiefly of fondness and sympathy, I never was in love to my knowledge, but think more of this young man than of any other I ha jet. Still, don't you think ® ith a good po- sition ought not to marry unless she feels she cannot live without the man? He ts quite poor and does not seem to have much prospect of advancement of view, of the same innocuous character as those hich The Evening World has previously recorded, Thére was the customary cannon-like explosion, the sheet of flame, the panic and the arrival of fire fines and ambulances, The motorman, itis true, (9% scorched, but that was in the line of his day's risk.

How long are passengers to suffer exposure to to. them is not a fanciful but a very real and tisk of injury? Between July 6 and July 19 New York and its immediate vicinity there were six accidents, involving the hospital treatment of ine 4 score of persons, As The Evening World has ady said, the theory of the trolley officials that im the face of the actual hospital record of fractured bulls, broken arms, bruises and burns, Is it not time for an official inquiry into the con- iiition of the trolley car motor appliances responsible or these casualties? ools.-The news that the bullding sf not be permitted to interfere with ‘Work on the six achools nearing completion ta gratitying ‘The publicity given the matter in the newspapers Is eredited with causing employer? and employees alike to appreciate the risk of alienating public support and in- curring public censure which would be undergone by gesuming responsibility for suspending this urgent @mergency work, Their decision not to antagonise Public sentiment does credit to their common sense, while showing & commendable consideration of the Figtits of school children.

The decision of the New Jersey Supreme Court @wanding the Lackawanna Railroad $10,300 instead of ‘the $6,700,000 claimed against the Hoboken and Man- battan Turinel Company throws an Informing light on the margin of difference which may exist in estimates of damages. The tunnel company asks for right of way ‘epder the Leckawanna’s Hoboken yards, and the argu- ‘i ater against this route was that it would interfere ‘with tunnel and ship canal plans which the railroad has a) remiote contemplation though not yet actually on By 4: 4 It a @ decision of very great moment to the trolley travelling public because this tunnel across the North ” River, with an easily accessible Manhattan term!nal and with spurs to the Frie and Lackawanna terminals on the Jersey shore, is calculated to be an important public nt.

But from @everal definitely stated ob- Jestions to matrimony made by The Evening World reader she evidently does not belong to this class. Men in general do not appeal to her, and she hae not yet met the particular man who will, But there ts a possibil- ity that he exiéte and that she will meet him and marry him, Until that possibility Js eliminated she had better not consider marriage at all. To be sure, Fate ls @ good deal like a druggist in offeting Ingenious subst!- tutes for what we want, and she won't sive us, But there la no “just-as- good.” And she kKhows {t, and we know it, though in somé momentary lapse intu forgetfulness ahe sometimes lures us into the purehase of the imitation, and nkrupt and unable to to us. ‘There are many women who live and marty on the comfortable the- ry that if they can't get what they want they. had better want what thev And sometimes the idea works they live happily ever th the men they have married from pity, or pique, of sym- pathy, or @ combination of all three. But these mén usually have some ad- vantages of money or worldly position which makes them, as some one mistak- only sald of Judge Parker, “not great. but available,” when considered as cag: didates for matrimony. However, candiate for the hand of the you: woman now under consideration to” be neither. And he has the edd- tonal disadvantage of Being of infertor education, Tf a woman marries a man whose in- teiligence {» merely equal to hers, she seems to the world and to herself to be hia superior, and this idea is not con- dueive to domestic harmony, Her hus- band need not actually be her mental superior, but she had much better hare the idea that he is. In estimating him, however, she must not confound Intelll- gence and oducation, A woman may know practically everything that oan be learned from books and yet be little removed from @ fool. A man may be absolutely ignorant of everything that to her cdnetitutes culture and yet be her superior In every way. Wut all this ts aside from the main feaye that she does not love him, It is doubtful whether loving @ man al- ways constitutes reason enough for marrying him, but it Is @ sure thing that not loving him f% reason enough for refraining; that is, unlees the woman happéhs to belong to the type for whom “any old" husband is ad- equate, This type is & very prevalent one, fortunately, and if The Evening World reader happena to vclong to it, if sho wants to be married just to hi lot of pretty new clothes or is by any of the similar motives bel many silly young things to matri- mony, !t won't do her any harm to ac- cept her uneducated and impoverished swain, But judged by her letter she is not at all that kind and ao I can only repeat Punch’s famous ‘don't’ and express the hope that she will Drofit by it, To girla in genernl be ft aid: Don't marry 4 man from sympathy, for what. ever your matrinonial lot may be you will need all your sympathy for your- welt.
