By Nixola Greeley-Smith, CCORDING A to a re cent cable despatcha number of prominent men und women In London have got up a public discussion as to whether it ly '» selfish or wom: ungelfiah- yvormer view being held by the Britieh Nixola Greeley-Smlthe OM eon and tho latter advanced by the American She declares that “it is the sulcida! fishness of woman which makes shni B ja of the modern bachelor lore are not atl misogy- the fact that a man remains unmarried ts no proof that he ts insen- sible to the charm of woman's com pantonsh!p or does not have such com moet considerable degree. “Why should the average vain young | ‘lon, make sacrifices for the sake of any particular woman while so many are Joining it?" Why, indeed? Why should Algemon, Privileged to buy flowers for Edith on Monday, candy for Etnel on Tuesday, theatre tickets for Janet on Wednesday, | 4nd so on through the calendar of days 4nd costly amusements, selfishly seek to) confine his spending capacity to one of | the number for life? To be sure, his ‘oung women on an income that would ‘arcely aumice for one carries with it all of the obligations and none of the compengations of a Mormon or a Mus- sultan, But, after all, it permits him to smile fatuously to himaelt at the re- } a—I of a fellow; and what are she joys of matrimony when balanced Against this sweet illusion? It 1a strange that in all the discussions of the whys and wherefores of bachelor. hood {t should always be taken for bigs entirely voluntary, Any man can et some woman to marry him? r- tainly, But, unfortunately, few oat tractive or ineligible men are satisfied With this solution, No matter what | they are themselves, they all think they are entitled to the prise girl, and when they discover that she i# not for them they are not all willing to take the con. ‘olation prize, ' ‘There ls @ great deal too much abuse levelled at the unfortunate bachelor, Anyway, He has his use in the world, if only to serve as an Object lesson to married men, who may look upon his loneliness =and selfishness and give thanks even ae the Pharisee that he) is not even as he. To be sure, the bach: ¢lor usually regards him with the same pity and may give thanks for his bachelorhood even more voclferously, But after all each has much to be grateful for, When Lord Bacon was asked by a young disciple whether It would be best for him to marry or remain single, | the philosopher replied with the grim aphorism: “Do either, and you'll re- oret it.” There ie mo married man who does ‘not occasionally feéi the weight of his fetters and sigh for the liberty of his bachelor days. And there is no bach- elor 90 worldly and so wedded to his| unwed condition that the contemplation of some happy household on its best behavior does not make him give 4 furtive sigh for lave in @ cottage or even a Harlem fat. "Do either, and you'll regre it" ap- plies therefore to every one, to women \as well as men, And one's cholce of matrimony or single biessedness must | be governed therefore by which one will regret more, There are some women | so naturally domestic as to be made), happler by almost any marriage than | they would be In an unmarried state. And there are men, the kind that are really just great big babies, of the same Inevitably domegtio type, The firet needs some one to after, the 4 ond some one to look after him, and to | neither docs I enpetor particularly Who The Rey. Dr, Scudder has felt impelled to defend from ‘various attacks by letter the plan to have dancing taught fm the new Foopie’s Palace in Jersey City. Mr. Scudder's task is easy. There are few points , ‘upon which historical religious practices and the verdicts _ Of buman science come Into finer agreement than upon |, the virtues of right dancing. 4 St. Gregory himself introduced prescribed stepe into the religious services of his time. The Christian Bishops |) fed sacred dances around the altar as Inte as the seven- )| teenth century. It has been heid by modern writers ) that more conversions than by preaching have been ) Wrought among low tribes by choral processionals with )) the added charm of vestment and intonation. +) And as for the utterances of science, “Dancing {s one Sot the beet expressions of pure play and of the motor é of youth,” says Dr. G, Stanley Hall in his lately ? hed “Adolescence.” Further, “Right dancing = + « can give nervous poise and control, bring har- iy between basal and finer muscles, . . , serve as an awekener and test of intelligence, predis- ® the heart against vice and turn the springs of ww toward virtue.” Hing needs defense only as every pursult and Reeds it—from those who do or would degrade it, it" Ig reported in Mr. Croker’s new Irish fome. i 's New York political expertences should have hall immune to the ghost story.
