It takes little to cause divorce In
these days. Almost any excuse will
serve. Hut It has remained for the
Postmaster General of the United
States to furnish a cause that Is valid
and widespread. Ills order forbidding
man and wife to hold clerkships In his
department has furnished the divorce
mill much new grist to grind. Many
clerks prefer to give up their marriage
relations rather than their pay. It Is
always easy to get another husband or
another wife, but It Is not always easy
to get another good Job. One woman
clerk, drawing $M00 a year, an
nounces that she and her husband,
who draws $1,800, have decided to
part "He has always spent his sal
ary," she says, "and I have always
spent mine." Neither cares to spend
less. The only alternative Is divorce,
and divorce Is cheap and easy. It
would bo Interesting to know by what
curious reasoning a man and woman,
divorced, will bo any more satisfac
tory to the Postal Department as
clerks than they are married. If there
la any sense In the theory that mar
riage robs a woman of the right to be
a wage-earner, then there Is good senso
In the universal tendency toward di
vorce, not only In the PostoUlco De
partment, but everywhere else. There
nro conditions that unfit a married
woman for regular employment out
side tho homo. Hut no such condition
lies In marriage Itself. Many childless
wives, with little turn for household
duties, may do as excellent service as
women that are unmarried or divorced.
Mnny wives are Justly proud of the
ability to maintain their own resources,
and even contribute to the household
fund. It Is a laudablo prldo and a
worthy ambition. Tho government U
la small business when It makes a
sweeping discrimination against these.
If the government Is to throw Its own
ponderous weight Into the scalo at all,
It should bo on tho side of wedlock,
and not ngnihst It. Of course, It Is
easy to say that a marrtnga which
holds together so loosely Is better ills
solved, llut thtf loss of half the family
Income Is no small ntntter, especially
when the whole of It has barely suf-
need.
Tho country mouse envies the city
mouse. Tho country wife thinks wwi
longing of tho concerts, tho theaters,
tho tempting shops and the cougculat
people of the city, and compares mem
with the solitude, the drudgery, nnd
the -poverty of resource offered by vn
tngo or farm, llut the country woman
has ono treasure tbat many of her city
cousins may well covet. Sho takes It
for gmnted-as she takes the sky, tho
air nnd tho music of her children's
voices; to a great many city women It
has becomo a lost dream. It Is a homo
a real home, where the chairs and
the dishes nnd tho beds and tho walls
nnd tho roof belong to tho family
whero a new curtain or n new rose
bush Is a permanent ncqulsltlon; where
even Inconveniences are problems to
be solved, not miseries to be endured.
Tho city family of moderate means Is
driven moro nnd more frequently to
tho boarding house, tho hotel or tho
apartment house. Ono Is scarcely net
tor thnn tho others so far as the gra
clous ntmosphere of homo Is concerned
Poor nnd expensive service, high rents
In tho cltv. railway expenses In the
suburb, the perplexities of market and
kitchen and furnace nnd sidewalk ais
mnr more nnd more the men and worn
cn In the city. The boarding house
offers relief, nnd tho tired housekeeper
flutters to It. as a moth to tho candle,
regardless for the moment of what sho
Is losing. When sho realizes that her
home has gone, tho whole family may
have acquired tho hotel habit, a habit
as. pernicious as It Is permanent One
after another the unselfishnesses that
flourish In n homo have dropped away.
In their place have come a passion for
case and a cynical disregard of the
finer sacrifices of domestic life. This
Is the dark side of the picture. Life
may be well lived anywhere, but It Is
a deeper truth that a real home Is the
best soil for tee cultivation of family
love and of mutual helpfulness.
There be many who have been wont
In times past to cast a sympatnetic
tear In pity for the lonely spinster, be
cause of the dire fate that made her
spouseless. The facts seem to show that
these tears should nave Decn sneti tor
the bachelors Instead. The bachelor's
the one to be pitied, not the maid. How
often have we heard It said that the
spinsters, some of them at least, cry
out. os they we,nd their lonely way
through life: "Anything, good Lord,
will do," All of which Is a misconcep
tion of the real state of affairs. Instead
of the maid saying, "anything will do,'
she Is clearly entitled by the over
whelming argument of numbers, to
say, "Let's see tne siock. it youve
got nnythlng that suits, well and good;
otherwise, take It away. For there are
others." The census shows that there
are In the United States, 0,720,770 bach'
clors of marriageable age, and only
4.103.440 spinsters above the age of 20.
Who's the Joke on If It Isn't' on the
bachelor? There wouldn't fie enough
of the fair sex to go around If the law
required all men to be 30 before at
lowed to marry and fixed the nge of
girls at 17. Think of It, 2.531,333 men
In this country who couldn't buy Eas
ter bonnets for their wives If they
wanted to, even after every maiden In
the land bad wed. Just exactly that
many women have, by the good offices
of the census man, been translated
from the unenviable class of those who
"would but can't," to the ranks of the
"can but won't" It has given a new
dignity to the feminine unyoked, a
new status to the unlinked lass. There
are. It seems, one and three-fifths men
for every woman, leaving out the
widowers, who are sometimes as much
given to mnrrlage as their never-mated
brothers. For a decade, or more, girls
can pick and choose, glean and garner,
turn down right and left, play with
many hearts with Impunity, while men
are having a llfe-nnd-death bargain
couuter scramble to get a wife before
the supply gives out.

Is a marvelous thlug that sentiment holds Its own
at nil lu the face ot the trcnuudous pressure put upon It to
surrender to financial expediency. Vet It does hold Its own
to nn extent which makes this cold-blooded slander Inrgely
uncalled for. Couinierc.al marriages ixlst they are not n

Idle, helpless daughters of wealthy or burdened daughters
of wealthy or burdened men. only good fortune can save
a woman from thinking of marriage as a change of bankers
which must be prudently consldend.
Thank heaven all women are not parasites. The majori
ty of husbands are poor men on an Income so small that
the women who marry them will not be unduly tempted by
dazzling perquisites. The "home" may tempt, but It will
be the sentiment of home and not Its upholstery. The op
portunity to work bard for board and clothes would be
available without selling oneself for the privilege. ,
The shoe of existing Industry p'nehes chiefly for the
poor In the uncertainty of continued employment, and hence
among the more prudent sentiment and mnrrlage sometimes
