And yet with all his faults the city man stands a stage higher i civilization and in evolution than ids hearty country cousin. I n He has more than vegetable necessities and animal enjoyments. He needs superphvsical pleasures. His life is pitched to sluggish. forego sleeping mom and en am and sunlight. The relish of the city man for his art, music and drama, be they crude us they will, is simply an extension of the sphere of superphvsical - enjoyments. It is only a higher key.

A letter recently published, signed bv "Carrots," closes with an unkind fling at the "maiden lady." But why the "old maid" jest ? When one sees on every hand such "mortal homely" and utterly tractive women who are married it is dilli cult to believe that any woman, if she cared to, might not wed.

I contend that women have ns good right to their liberty and the single life as has one of the masculine gender. Anyway, these are perilous times for the* married folk. A wife never knows what morning she'll wake up and find herself beaten to a pulp or some kind of widow (sod or grass) with perhaps sev eral helpless offspring to be supported by her own labor.
