MEN WHO NEVER MARRY.

By HARRY SEFTON.^

."How can I tell the non-mHrrying |>ung man? asks one of my girl pals. "You see, she is engaged to one. hey have been courting two years. fhen they walk out, her boy talks bout the movies or the wonders of Nation. But he never looks in the gllers' window or the furniture fe men who never marry are not en-haters. Frankly, I have never let a woman-hater—not a bachelor Unman-hater. Most men who remain ingle do so not because they hate -omen, but because they love themslves. Moreover,'as many a trusting |rl has found, the reason why some ten will never marry is they're tarried already! DREADING THE FIRE. There are two types who don't exctly race to the altar.

He never seems to feel'the hatural man's need for a woman's [pve and comradeship. He is the idea! Uncle, and he can find joy in the happiness of others. But perhaps his createst friends are his books and his* own thoughts. |.-In the tops; -turvey state of things to day. when so many of our heroes fere SoniPlw simply don't exist, ti.. jivl-i "f voung men have to give Up uA-I'mitrlv the very idea of marTli" '■ ar, moreover, lias left inv%' ■ or lads legacies which jnake niarriP! impossible. I'herp is one type of non-marrying youth of whom girls should beware. Brie is one of the flies who remain with us in the winter-time. He couldn't live without girls; and strangely enough, by virtue of his effeminate nature, he" can fairly claim to understand girls
