(Hilt FEMALE SURPLUS. ‘‘Males are geographically more mobile than females,” said Dr E. P. Neale, at the annual meeting of tho Auckland Economic Society. He added that Christchurch and Dunedin each had a female surplus of (iOOf), and Auckland and 'Wellington of 5000 and 1000 respectively. There seemed to be a recent tendency for many young men to move from the South to the North leaving their sisters behind them. He continued: ‘‘lt is, however, fair to point out that, in a certain proportion of cases—my own included (laughter) —these young men have, about the time of leaving, reached an economic position which has encouraged them to take some one else’s sister along with them, or else to return shortly to collect her, usually at least twelve months before they can really afford it (•renewed laughter). But such cases are merely a proportion, as most Southern young men go North earlier, before they have got to the point of putting the question, and propinquity i>. after all. a lug factor in the choice •>f a partner. The position is .somewhat unsatisfactorv from, the stand-

paint ol' the marriage prospects of the Southern maidens. A friend of mine lately said that, business considerations required him to spend part o,f his time in Auckland, part in Dunedin, and lie was at a loss to know where to neiilr. I drew has attention to t'he fuel that he had four hefty daughters eating him iuil of house, also to certain statistics. and he is still in Aueklaad.” ( bond laughter).
