To be sure that the marriage must not be the type who ever will be a success, she says, you says:

WHY MEN RESIST MARRIAGE
THE REPORT calls on Bernard Shaw and quotes the evidence of Ianner, 1 “Man” and Buperman,” who asserts it le "a woman's business to get married as soon as possible and a man's to keep unmarried as long as he can." Barriage in for this bachelor "apostasy, profanation of the sanctuary of my soul, violation of my manhood, esla of my birthright, shameful surrender, ignominious capitalation, acceptance of defeat." A married man is to him a man with a past, while a bachelor is a man with a future. When Anne reminds hims that he need not marry if he does not want to, he answers -
'Does any man want to be banged? Yet men tes themselves be hanged with out a struggle for life, though they could at least give the chaplain a binek ere. We do the world's wit, not our own."

In a survey of American marriages, she finds :-
THAT a greater percent- age of marriages are happy when the wife is two or three years older than her husband.
THAT the average woman lives three years longer than the average male of the same age.
THAT if a girl attends college her chances of marriage are reduced at least one-fourth. If her college is not co-educational her chances are still less.

Yet not so many pages away we find this: Many women are turned into partial deserters from marriage by "a morbid obsession against duties, intense dislike of house- household
keeping."
In a study of 1,000 engaged couples, the report says it was found that more than 35 per- cent of the women and 24 per- cent of the men had broken previous engagements, and that nearly 15 percent broke their current engagements.
