Soci- | ety has organized a kind of crusade *{ against this unhappy class of young men and is breaking down their re- | sistance. Heavy taxes are laid upon them, This reform was brought in immediately after the vote was given to women. It is, so far as I am aware, their only contribution to political thought "Give us," they swid, "a tax upon bachelors and we care nothing about the rest."

I have | seen case after case of it. I knew a | young man, notoriously too shy to J.a580ciate with girls, who-was still-Ub~tan--up-te-date=cn Cy ana putting. ofl | married at twenty-three. They taxed | him. He stood it up to twenty per | cent. Isaw him at a Christmas party | being pushed round to get him under | the mistletoe and I was not surprised | to learn two months later that he was | off the tax list, Another young man, [ awwar veteran, held out up to forty- {four per cent, He simply said he would not give in. - At forty-five per cent. the revenue department served a notice on him that at the end of { thirty days they would proceed against him on a writ of mandamus. | He capitulated, married a widow | with three children, and seems; in a { dull kind of way, happy. |. This is the income tax. 1 say {nothing of the municipal tax, and the { luxury tax and the super-dog tax, the | graduated-billiard-licence, the cun- | ningly devised double rate on pull- | man drawing-rooms, the insidious | policy of hotels in making the room | rate less for two than for one, and, in. short, the whole apparatus of | legislation and public policy that fis | meant to drive the bachelor out of existence, Even all this, they tell me, they { could stand. But what they objected | to still more is the general attitude | of society towards them. They are a | despised class. "The' married men," said a young bachelor to me the other day, "have all the fun. If a girl knows that a man is married, she doesn't care a bit what she does." He spoke with great | emotion and seemed on the brink of | tears. I begged him to compose | himself.and to get down to particu- {lars '"'She'll go out with- him,' he | contirned, *to tea or to diriner or to | suppet. or out motoring or in a | canoe or anything, But if it's one of | us, there's nothing doing." "When I .was a bachelor," T said, "we used at least to be able to take the girls to church. Can't you do that?" "The girls nowadays won't come to { church," he sobbed. "We ask them | to and they won't. Only last Sunday |.T asked one to come with me to the Cathedral to hear the anthem." "And wouldn't she?" I asked. "She said that the only use she had for a shor was to get married in it, She said she would wait for that." 'And what are you going to do about it?" I asked him. "We are to be married in June," he answered, "but I don't think it's quite fair all the same." The more I look into this situation the less satisfactory it appears. Be- fore I had investigated the point I had thought that possibly the bach- elors might find some consolation by seeking the society of married women. But it seems that it is not possible, The married women, I am told, don't care for them, They find them insipid, flat and uninteresting. They say they have no pep, no go to them. They admit that they are per- fectly polite, even chivalrous in their social conduct, but they say there is nothing in them, One informant told me that they seemed to hdve no reach. Beyond this I could get no more exact information. But/ I gather that the married women of to- day find somebody else's husband "more interesting than somebody. else's brother, I am not aware 'that anything in nerve centres. a slight strain upon you? ih clever-d and disease is also on the decrease.
